Main role in production of the film

I believe my main role in the pre-production, production and pro-production was a good one. The story line is based on my own idea, but the whole group dynamics helped craft it and make it what we all wanted it to be. I believe we all put in the same effort and contributed in our own ways, but in each way we contributed, that helped to improve the quality and the smoothness of this production. I have a very specific way of how I want things to be and I was very adamant that I wanted it to be in a era that was not the era we are in now. I knew that it would add some more interest if we are not dressed the same way we are now, and that it would add some interest to our movie. As Anna and I are very good friends with Perry, the boy who played Teddy, we knew that he would be interested in acting with us, which was an advantage as we knew we wanted to have a boy in our production.

Music

As we are not able to use copyrighted music and have to have our own, we had chosen to use Susudio by Phil Collins but now that will be an issue to use that music. We did think it would go very well with the theme of the 80s but we will have to re-think our music to be used. Music is very important for our sequence as no vocals are used.

What is left to be completed

So far we have to finish out editing, which includes
-Title sequence
-Credits
-Scream (audio)
-Music

Editing

With our editing we were told to use Final Cut express when I was used to using iMovie from year 10 to year 11 but it's always good to try something new out, also Final Cut express seems more professional and can do alot more. We were taught the basics as a group and we picked it up fairly quickly. We started putting our clips into the software and trying to put them in order of the story line. We had a few clips of a certain scene we filmed so that we had more variation to choose the perfect one, after we had chosen these we put them into the timeline. We started to cut each scene that seemed to go on for too long, we soon seemed to realise that if a scene went on for even a second over it would look wrong and as if there was a error in the editing. We would all watch the clips and decide when to cut it, and then we would erase the bits that we did not want in the scene, we would move the clips around to see what looked better and made more sense to the storyline. Each time we would edit a few clips or cut the time down we would watch what we had so far, just to make sure that there was not something that we had missed out on.
