Filming entry

After getting feedback from the class and from the teachers, we were told that we needed to include more shots of us getting ready and to make it appear as if we were all in different houses. In the beginning we had jump cuts of all of us walking down the stairs, but this was in the same house, this made it unclear as to why we were all in the same house as we were all meant to be separate and then coming together. From this, we have shot more of us in the mornings, this includes all of us waking up in our beds and only one person walking down the stairs. We were happy with the shots we done today, and we feel that it will be clearer when we have included them in the sequence.

Editing process

There was a shot of myself 'air girl' that we were happy with the shot, but it was in reverse to the other girls close up shots. We had to change the way that the shot was played so it would match the other shots. Also, the shot of Holly, 'air girl' where she blows the bubble. We needed to include her name in the sequence, we found the typography and downloaded it on to final cut and then we added her name into it. But we wanted it to appear as if it came out when she was blowing the bubble, and then explode at the same time that the bubble popped. We found this quite difficult because we could not find out how to do so. There was an effect on final cut pro that allowed us to do this, and we were a lot happier with the way her name appeared. We still need to add in the rest of our clips into the sequence too.

I also think that we need to use more editing into the sequence to give the fantastagirls a more 'super hero' theme presented. On the close up shots of all of us, I think we should include an effect that can add to this; it will make us appear as superheroes more clearly to the audience. We are going to apply these changes to the title sequence tomorrow.
