Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Feedback on our rough cut edit

The feedback we got from our rough cut was very helpful for us. It helped us make a lot of changes that made the outcome of our opening more better than it was before. 

We got told that we had to film from different angles in order for it to be more creative. For example we got told that we couldn't film a scene opposite a glass door because you can see the camera on the glass of the door. So after we had to film from the side in order for us to get the shot. 

FINAL Vamp opening!

Filming/Editing - 10th March

Firstly, Umbreen, Liam and Fabio went downstairs to film whilst I stayed upstairs editing. I added the title sequence and the soundtrack. I cut down the establishing shots and we managed to finish editing. Currently, we still need to add the production and distribution logo. After that we will be done!



                         

Research: Sound/possible soundtracks

I like the last one the best! I feel it suits our gritty London establishing shots.

Rough script

F: I'm sick of hiding my secret..
L: What do you mean?
F: I'm sick of hiding myself!
L: Well.. it's not like you can tell people…
F: I can't be the only one like this.. there must be others
L: Wouldn't it be dangerous to find them?
F: Why would it be? They are my people… I'm sick of dealing with this alone. I want to find others like me.
L: Well how are you going to do that?
F: I don't know… But I'm going to try.

Editing, rough cut & feedback - 6th March

This is our very first rough cut! It is far from perfect and we need to do a lot more before it is complete. We need to add a soundtrack at the beginning, reshoot one shot and add the title sequence.

Marissa gave us some feedback, which was:

• to reduce the amount and length of the establishing shots as they don't do much for the opening.
• to add in another shot in between when Fabio is walking towards Liam of Fabio taking a seat. Preferably a mid shot.

We also need to film more conversation between Fabio and Liam because there is not enough and our opening only comes up just under 1 minute and 20 seconds. 

We aim to finish these last bits up in Mondays three hour lesson!
