Editing

We're about halfway through the post-production stage of our project and, surprisingly, things are running rather smoothly! We've managed to piece together a rough video structure, with only a few gaps here and there, but we're making good progress. The main focus of the feedback we've been given is:

• The cross-cutting between the forest and the tunnel, when the girl wakes up, is not entirely matched correctly [angles are ever-so-slightly different..!]

• The shots of the girl lip syncing in the tunnel are too long - we need to tighten the frames up a tad

• Some shots are confusing/don't work well together e.g. the CU of the hand on the tree cut to the girl circling the masked fuguuu on the stump [like, wth is that all about, man?!]

• Make all the shots in the tunnel the same colour; apparently the dingy look is aesthetically awesome [it's not YOUR video, Ryan!]

• THE FIRE-SPINNING IS GOOD. HURRAH. MORE FIRE-SPINNING, PLEASE.

So yeah, we've received pretty constructive stuff from teachers, media students and royalty alike which is no doubt only going to help us through the rest of our editing. We may have to reshoot a few things [the waking up sequence] and we DEFINITELY need to shoot an ENDING of some sort, but let's save that for another post :)

Safari, so good...
