To-Do List!

After today's editing session, we came to a group conclusion that we needed to do a very small amount of refilming. We found that:

1. We didn't have enough footage between the last chorus and the ending shot.
So we need around 3 more seconds of lip-synching footage to pull it together.

2. The anti-climax section of the song still didn't work, despite our best attempts at editing.
This means that we will have to shoot about 10 seconds worth of this footage again to try and create the feel that we originally wanted, as it is simply not working as it stands now and does not make much sense with the song.

As well as re-filiming, there are also a few minor additions and adjustments I think we need to address in the next week, these are:

1. Adding the heart-beat sound effect to the very first flashbacks.
I have already found the sound that we are going to be using (see previous 'sound searching' blog post), so all I need to do now is put it on a memory stick and take it in to the lesson where we can upload the sound and edit it into position.

2. Adjusting the last chorus so it fits together more smoothly.
Today I noticed that the last chorus didn't quite look right; the actual lip-synching looks good, as we have tightly edited it. But we have also got Emilys flashbacks that link up to the pre-video footage, where she is packing her case and leaving. The shot of her packing her case is fine, but then there is an extremely large gap until we see Joe's reaction shot of her walking out with her case - and this reaction shot is very short in length. We decided as a group that we are going to re-adjust this sequence so that the reaction shot is longer and closer to the other flashbacks, we feel that this will make the chorus flow more.
