Screening and thoughts

Hi,

This post is just to say how disappointed I am in the fact that we didn't get to see our finished product at the screening. We no information that it was on, so unfortunately our group will not have a chance to watch what everyone else created. Hopefully they all upload them to YouTube!!

Also, I got the hard drive off one of the other group members who did the editing. There was no opening sequence, the title of the film didn't make sense and the story overall didn't look good. I just don't know how to feel about it. We all worked really hard, so how is it that the finished product is such a let down? All semester Josh was saying the most important thing was story and the story got lost in the editing and effects of the film.

I hope I get good marks on the blog and the pre-production because those were the two things I worked hardest on and I'm really proud of them. The film itself, I left the editing up to other people and the control freak inside of me wishes I hadn't. Everything I did edit was removed from the final film. It was a totally different film then when I left it in their capable hands. The one good thing I can say is, generally, the editing is really good and he did a really good job with the special effects. I hope that will make up for some of the lost marks.

The end.

Hi,

So this is my last post. Our video has been edited and handed in! 3 minutes before it was due PHEW!!! After Kylie and I edited, we gave the hard drive to Mike and Conrad who smashed it, with Mike doing most of the editing in the end. We all did different things to make the movie come together, so I'm putting together a summary of what everyone did.

Kylie:
Wrote script
Found location
Acted

Mike:
Directed
Wrote script
Edited

Conrad:
Acted
Boom mic operator
Edited

Me:
Pre-production
Time codes

We all did things that play to our strengths, and I'm so happy that I got the group I did. I've made new friends and learnt A LOT!!!

Thanks Josh and Rotten Apple for an awesome semester!!!

LOVE EMILY
