U2-70 : THRILLER PROJECT 2007/8

Our roles

Steph loved edidting, so she was in charge of the main editing, we all had a turn, but it was made really obvious that she loved doing it so we left it to her. (As well as acting.)

I was in charge of the cinematography. We made decisions about what type of camera shots, but I was the one who handled the camera mostly and what angles it should be in and how effective each camera shot would have.(As well as acting.)

Daniel acted and contributed to some editing and the decisions on the camera shots.

Colette acted in the test shots but not in the real footage and also contributed in the editing.

After the comments

The last lessons, we decided to work harder with the editing because time was running out. With two of our members constantly not here, it was pretty much up to Steph and I. Steph liked doing the editing, and was much more confident editing as well as composing the garage band. I assaited her on what we should put in where, i was like the 'idea man.' As we could not film anymore, we put the test shots together. Since there were test shots, we decided that clips of the test shots would fade in and out so it would look professional. Although these test shots were not intended to be put in with our finished footage, the editing made it look as if it was part of it.
We felt that we had such a big task ahead of us, as we only had three lessons left to compose our original soundtrack, mass amount of editing and titles.
Somehow we managed to finish the editing and titles and make it as professional as we could in the last two and half lessons.
Our next task was the soundtracking and I thought it would take a while and be quite hard but we have already done half of it and now that we have one more lesson to complete the soundtrack, we feel more confident that the thriller sequence will turn out fine. These feelings of confidence however were not there at the begining of the week. Frustration, anger and anxiety is what we felt, because I really wanted to do well in the thriller and hopefully put the grade forward instead of the kidstv sequence instead. So when people did not show up, I started feeling nervous and let down as did Steph. However they did contribute at the start but near the end, which where we needed the most help, no one turned apart from Steph and I. But we worked around that, if we had not done the test shots, then we would have been in troublen and our sequence would have been extremely short. We have worked round it and are happy with what we have accomplished so far.
