Feedback from Mary about the rough cut editing

We aren't certain whether the video importing is working or not however, Mary has just very kindly suggested our group a few tips on how to improve our final editing process. Firstly, Mary was amazed over the music we'd chosen! She said how it sounds extremely strong and punchy which captures the audience in very well. She's also was quite impressed with the character organization, the sporty, casual and the princess which comes across very strongly. Mary also suggested that the 'opening the door part' could be on slow motion as well as the 'throwing the phone' scene because the audience could struggle spotting whatever is going on. Finally, we definitely  need to have a fade out at the end of the last shot to end everything.

Titile Change

The title of our film has been Bully, and this is because firstly the main character was meant to be a tough girl going around bullying people including her family and those in the community.

As we developed our film we decided to make her the victim of bullying from those around her rather than the one who is bullying others. We decided to do this as for a teenage audience, it is much easier to relate to and it creates a character that the audience will favour and have sympathy for, this is then keeping our target audience in mind. 

For this reason we have changed the title of our film to Bullied.

Rough Cut of Final Film and Feedback with Improvements

This is the rough cut of our final film:

Feedback:

Firstly, the scene where the main character is opening her front door with a key and the scene where the same character also goes onto the laptop to check an email, telling her that she needs to send a video of her self dancing, to get into a dancing college that she wants to get into. Both these scenes need to be improved. 

Our teacher gave feedback telling us that the key scene is too long ands this is not necessary because it is no an essential part of the film. Also, she told us that the scene where the character is on the laptop, needs to be made clearer because it is quite blurry.

Improvements:

To make these problems better, we will cut down the scene where the main character is opening the door, and we may add another charter walking to fill in the space.

For the other scene that needs to be improved we will call a technician to help us make it look clearer.

She also talked about her experiences while edition the film and what is king well swell as what had gone wrong:

Editing Process

Right now, we are up to the stage in editing where we are adding music.

The editing process was difficult because deciding what scenes and shots to use was hard and time consuming. Also, we noticed some mistakes in our work but this didn't really effect our film because we filmed most of our scenes many times so there was always alternatives. 

This is a video hat we done to add and edit our music

Behind The Scenes vlog

Here is a compilation of clips we filmed behind the scenes to show the filming of our opening.
