Soundtrack completed

Our group managed to finish the soundtrack for our film yesterday, in time for our deadline. I think our soundtrack is very good because it represents the gangster genre well by being almost jazzy and fits well to what is happening on the screen. We hope to mix it into our film before the deadline.

A reflective summary to problems in group work

My group worked very well so we didn't face many problems except the typical problems that come with being in a group such as, ideas clashing. This meant that we were able to work efficiently together and share out the work load that we had to do. Which meant that the pressure of the course was reduced thanks to this. One small problem that we encountered is that we found it difficult to create the soundtrack in time for the showcase. We're now on the way to finishing our soundtrack for the film.

My feelings towards our openings

I think that our film opening is good but could be better. I thought the lighting that we used during the filming process was well-suited to our genre of gangster films and the costumes we used helped reflect the genre. I think that we had good control of the narrative as we presented multiple enigmas that interested the audience with a the plotline of murder beginning the movie. I think we could've improved out by spending more time filming scenes so that we could get more shots to make the film flow more smoothly.

Post-Feedback editing

We had to edit our film again after the showcase so that the first half of our opening was more fast paced. We done this by cutting the clips we had and mixing them together so they cut to each other quickly. This told the audience the narrative faster than our previous version of the film. Another thing we did was move the titles to the start of the film and add the refraction effect to quickly distort the titles. We did this to maintain the interest of our audience.
