Summary of my work so far...

Below is a summary of where me and Cilia are at so far, the improvements we have to make, and what we plan to do for January...

To me it feels that myself and Cilia have created an effective first advert which is ready to be presented.  However, there a certain aspects of our piece which need to be altered in order to suit the final draft.  In terms of footage we have completed all of the filming, but there is one shot where the shadow of our tripod is apparent.  This is the shot in which the geek walks over to the bench to sit down with the girl.  The solution to this problem is to use a shot we already have from the re shoots.  This means that we were only a hot away from meeting our deadline!  As well as the shot we need to replace for the 'shadow one', the soundtrack and voice over needs to be improved on our advert before we hand in the final draft.  This is because once the voice over starts, the music volume level drops a considerable amount which doesn't sound effective.  This means that we will have to higher the voice over volume and make a smoother transition between the soundtrack and voice over.

Our plan for January is to start filming advert one and three.  In order to do this we are going to manage our time so that as we come to finish the first advert, there are rough cuts which we can start editing for advert three.  The process of filming the last two adverts will be easier for us because they are both shot in the same location.  This means that in january we can make a good start on the rough cuts of the first advert, and finish the second advert completely.  Moreover, I am planning on finalizing the soundtrack before we come to the end of editing.  This is so that we have no trouble in meeting the deadline, as this was our draw back in the first advert.  Furthermore, the voice over will not be a problem within the next two adverts as we will be using the same voice throughout the series of our three adverts.
