Still getting it done... and finishing!

- We have been working some moreee to try and finish the final edit of our film, on monday, we were still adding shots onto the film according to the story board. However we had some problems when trying to acheive a split screen for the shot where both girls are singing a line of the song each. This wasnt on the original story board, but when we were filming we decided this would look good so filmed both the girls singing both of the lines. When we were trying to make a split screen, we had to master all the things you could do like putting the shots on top of each other and moving them about on the screen. This also caused problems however, because we tried to give each girl half of the screen, but kirsty had made her bit really big and animated so her shot couldnt fit on the screen. This meant we had to fiddle about with it all and try and get them all to fit into the frame. But no fear we got it done! WOOP!

- Today we continued editing, and managed to get all our shots on the film! YAY! we had to sync all the footage to go with the music. Also, we were adding effects such as when the friends are trying to get the main girl (Nova) up, we put some of the footage of Nova and James back when they were happy in the background and made it black and white to show it was in the past. We made both of these shots opaque so it was dissolved in the background. We also started adding credits, we decided we would be called minted prouductions! :) Oh yehh. Also we found the font that suited the romantic comedy genre. We made the first word of the line pink and the rest white to conote girlieness of which the film would definitely include a lot of! The white was to suggest starting again because she is starting her life again after spliting up with her long term boyfriend.

-Today was the deadline day, and we were nearly done, we just had to add some final tweeking and we had to decide if we liked the gap between the part before the start of the "I will survive song" and I wasn't to sure to start with... but we spoke to our tutor and he said it looked fine and liked how it was almost the start of the new section of the opening. We also made all of the titles fade in and out but it diddn't look quite right, so we just had no effects on them in the end which looked more effective than having all the fades on them. When we had finsished messing around with it, we watched it back at least 5 times to double check that we hadn't missed anything, and we hadn't to we filled in the slip and that was that! WE HAD FINALLY FINISHED! WOOP WOOP!
