If at First You Don't Succeed
Today we continued editing our opening sequence. Whilst editing we realised that the footage of the scene we shot at the beach can't be used because continuity between the shots is out, mainly because of background sound and the position of our characters changing too noticeably.
We decided as a group it would be better to film the beach scene rather than leave the footage as it is, and luckily our footage of the woods is good so we'll only have to redo this part.
Because of this, we spent part of the lesson trying to rearrange a time to shoot the scene whilst switching places between working on editing the woods footage, working on our blogs and creating a shot list so we can ensure that we have enough high quality footage when we come to film again.
We've managed to arrange it so we can have roughly 5/6 extras on the set, as well as the two main characters. This is more than we could get last time which should help to create a more realistic party/gathering setting than we were going for in our original shoot. We've arranged to shoot on Sunday 2nd March because this leaves us enough time to edit the footage for our rough cut, as well as it being the only day when everyone is available to help out.
As far as editing the sequence has gone, we've finished a basic edit of the woods scene. I pieced the footage together and then Chloe and Shani cut the footage to further the continuity and started editing the sound, making it more even throughout. For now we've left parts of it blank because we originally planned to intertwine parts of the woods scene with the beach, but we can add those in on a later date.
At the moment we're arranging specific times to meet everyone on Sunday, and arranging the props. One thing we have to do is on sunday myself and Beth (who plays Amber) have to remember to wear the same clothes to ensure the continuity between the woods scene and the beach.
Hopefully the footage from the beach will turn out okay and we can finish editing in time for the rough cut deadline.
