In class today my group and I continued editing. Today was our last in class session of editing, and we will be screening our film next class. My group and I are mostly done with editing our film, we had to do a lot to get it down to 7 minutes, but now all we have to do is add the credits! We cut out large parts of the songs, but I think that helped to improve our film and keep it going at a faster pace. I am nervous, but excited, to screen it on Thursday. My group and I have all put in a lot of effort and work to make this film a reality, it has definitely been a journey. I also can't wait to see what the other groups have produced. Overall, I am happy with our film and can't wait to share it.

Today in class my group and I continued editing. Today we applied a filter, finished fine editing and started to add the music. We got Ms. Ward to take a look at our film and give us advice which was very helpful! She told us that we needed to keep the tempo of our film going, since the start of it is very upbeat, but then as is continues it starts to become slower and slower. To make it faster we will need to cut some of the scenes to be shorter. Furthermore, we are cutting some of the songs to be shorter since they are currently extremely long and can get boring. We are going to cut to only the parts we need. We still need to adjust the filter and bit and add some sound effects and special effects. We have a lot of work to do and not a lot of time, so many lunch sessions and after school sessions I suspect will be needed. I am excited to see it come together more and more everyday!
In class today my group and I continued editing our film. For the remainder of our lessons until our film is due we will be editing our film. We are mostly done with the filming, we only need one more scene which we are filming tomorrow. However, we have a lot of editing to do. Since we can only edit when we are at school we are using our lunches and class times to finish the editing. One problem we have run into is that our film is extremely long. The maximum is 7 minutes, and we are 3/4 through editing and we have 8 minutes. We will have to make a few cuts to make the 7 minute mark, however our main goal right now is to finish fine editing everything. We are then going to work on audio, then sound effects and finally special effects. We definitely are not near finishing, but I am glad filming is mostly done. This film has been incredibly hard to make, so seeing it come together in editing is very rewarding. It has made the long days of filming worth it. I can't wait until we can watch the final product back. This project is much more challenging than the western, since we had multiple filming locations and have special effects. Although, I think that this film is more interesting because of those extra factors. One large thing we still have to do is add in the audio, since this is a musical. Sometimes I think my group and I forget we are making a musical since our film is so different. This film is requiring a lot of hard work, but I believe it will all be worth it in the end. Below you will find some photos of us editing!
Note: Reflections these days may seem very repetitive since every class we are editing! Today in class my group and I continued editing our footage. We added in our new footage from the weekend and last class as well. We are done with most of our filming, however the cafeteria is now out of use. This is a problem since we were not done filming there. However, we have an idea to make an easy transition to a new location using a close up so the location is not noticeably different. This way we can still use our footage from the cafeteria. I am sad that we can't film in the cafeteria anymore, however there's nothing we can do it about it now so we just have to keep going and get everything done by the due date. Seeing everything come together is very exciting, however I am aware we still a lot of work to do. We have a couple scenes to do and a lot of editing. We have started fine editing, but we still have to do all the special effects which is going to take a long time. Through hard work I think we will be able to finish on time with a product we are happy with. Furthermore, so far our film is very long. Although we haven't cut down most of the shots we have 21 minutes. The film is supposed to be 7 minutes long so we will have to cut down a lot. Below is a picture of us editing today!
