Update 14/12/12

Update 14/12/12

Right, normally I wouldn't do back to back updates, or a written one for that matter, but so much got done today, I deem it completely necessary! Plus, we didn't have any time to do a video update, as today was quite hectic.

Ryan and I took main control on editing, fixing some very important issues we stumbled across. For instance, massive gusts of wind coming in, have now either been dampened or edited out, as they really were quite loud! Also, timing had to be reduced, as we went over the limit by quite a lot, getting our film up to nearly four minutes, which is definitely too long. We fixed this through both speeding up slowed down shots, and removing unnecessary shots all together. A problem we discovered was when the film is put onto full screen (this was the 1st time we had done so) the images seemed extremely grainy and a little pix-elated. This isn't a massive problem, as it was shot in the dark, and can be justified. 

Ben and George went out to shoot some shots of clocks from all sorts of different angles. I suggested to attempt a dolly zoom shot, as this is very succesful in Jaws. Unfortunately, this shot was unsuccesful and didn't come out very well. Despite this, some great angles were discovered and used, and some of the shots of the clock looked great, and could be used in the credit sequence possibly.

Overall, a very successful day. The editing is now basically done, although I am certain some minor issues will a rise when the soundtrack is put in. I am sure we will overcome these issues, as we are now all getting pretty good at using the software, and are pretty comfortable using it.
