Home Screening

Today i showed my film to some of my friends and family out of school.
I wish i had given them the questionairre to fill out to get a more detailed and more ordered response - but I was very pleased with what they said anyway, here are the main points they made:

*Really like the style of it - the effects etc
*The smoking section could be cut down further
*My credit needs to be longer (although they would say that because they're my friends and family - hehe)
*Storeyline is original and interesting but a little bit confusing at first
* They would all watch the rest of the film, and were quite disappointed that we not going to make it, as they wanted to see what happens!

Audience Feedback

Although the feedback we got from our teachers and fellow media students was helpful, we needed some audience feedback of the finished product. Therefore we held a screening of our opening (and 'caught in the web' by Amelia, Holly and Laura)in the media block today at lunch. As the target audience for their opening and our was people around our own age we asked all our friends to come and publicised it via facebook. Loads of people turned up and filled out a short questionairre for use so the feedback was ordered and we could see trends clearly.

Finished

Yesturday we finished our opening sequence - hooray!
i definitely think all of our hard work payed off, as i think it looks great.
im going to miss editing though :(

:)

Editing

Since we've got back we've only had a week and a half to complete our opening sequences -ah! It's been so busy, we've been editing in most of our free periods and some days after school. I think we've made a lot of progress and i am so happy with the way it is looking now it's nearly done. We did a screening for our class, and they helped pick out some things to change. Such as bringing the volume levels down, cutting down the smoking bits and adding contrast to the beginning. I did agree with everything they said, as did Danni and Tom so we've been making those changes this week. Our deadline is tomorrow! But we have a lot of time tommorrow to work on it so it should all be ok :)

Music

We had some trouble finding music for our opening but now we have i think it sound great. The first part has quiet, calm classical music. But they end has loud, fast beat music with a hip-hop feel, i think it suits our film very well so im really happy.

Back to School

I'm back from my christmas break. Our deadline for having our sequence is less than a week away so me and my group are very busy at the moment.

Our sequence is now all in order and the music on the second half sound really good - but we are having a little bit of trouble finding music for the first half...

It's Christmas Time!!!!!!!!!! :)

So my blog is now closed for two weeks so I can have a nice relaxing break

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

...and I will see you in 2009 for lots and lots more blogging! xx
