Current Planning & Improvements

At the moment most of our time is being occupied with editing our current footage :
                               

                       

TASKS

- Making sure that the visuals cut on the beat

- Making sure our footage cuts seamlessly (unless we wish it not to for stylistic purposes)

-Making sure we've achieved the visual objective of each unit of footage (if incomplete then discussion of re-shoots will be needed)

-Making sure the acting is of a high enough standard (the actors convey the emotions / messages of each sequence & are believable in their performances) 

-Making sure we have included enough Mes en scene in each scene (this is crucial has it presents our audience with the opportunity to gain an extra layer of entertainment through intertextual links) 

-Making sure the transitions are appropriately matched (some shoots were completed over several days so we had to be sure they were contentious)

SOLUTIONS & PROBLEMS

- Including a larger variety of close up shots (when replaying the footage we were slim on variety)

-Trimming certain parts to flow smoothly with the music & cut on the beat ( EG: 1980's scene) & extending certain parts in order to expand the actors reactions

-Speeding the pace of certain shots (EG: 1980's scene) in order to increase the rhythm & tempo of the scene & have the visual (acting) energy match that of the music. 

-Reshooting (EG: introduction to the 1980's scene) - because our lead female was not wearing a security pass round her neck in a scene prior to one when she appears (seconds later) in the other. 

-A few more signifying & establishing shots - especially in relation to mis en scene (EG: war posters for the ww2 bomb shelter scene)
