Progress

Today we decided to split the group so that two people were working on the editing and two people were working on the music. I think this was a good idea as it split the work load and helped us work more efficiently, also we were sat close to each other which therefore allowed us all able to have input into each of the tasks.

Nicola and I were working on the editing in which a few problems arouse about lighting, the quality of shots and continuity. We showed these problems to the rest of the group and we all decided the best thing to do is to quickly get them re-filmed another day this week (which is yet to be decided) in order to get the best overall outcome for our film.

Natalie and Iveta were working on trying to create a basis for what our music for the party will be like. This went well as they successfully created a base track, however I personally feel that it doesn't exactly fit the style of music we need for the setting and genre as it sounds a bit too much like a club anthem than something you would play at a house party. To get the music to fit better i think we need to get the music to sound more like a generic pop song, and perhaps make a few different sounding songs so that it sounds more like a diegetic playlist of songs at a party, rather than just one track throughout.

After school Nicola, Natalie and I continued editing the film and we showed one of our teachers the rough beginnings to the sequence. He confirmed some of our worries but generally his feedback was positive in that he seemed to like the idea and the way in which we were portraying the story through specific shots. He also said that so far our editing was very good with smooth match on action and accurate continuity.
