Editing session 6

Our group split into pairs, Shannon and I working on the movie editing and Seun and Akrem re-shooting some scenes and shot some extra scenes. Some of the scenes we added was Akrem walking because there was a shot missing from the scene and we also filmed an establishing shot of the college for the end of the scene. They also added a close up of the knife in Akrems pocket.

Whilst they were shooting outside, Shannon and I went through out existing footage and took notes of which scenes we needed to re shoot and what scenes we needed to add. After the boys left, we went through our footage and Rebecca came over and helped cut some of our footage that was too long and cut some footage that made it run more smoothly.

Rebeccas feedback was that our shots were a lot better but our film was too long with some shots that needed to be cut because there was a lot of space where no characters were present in the film.

Another feedback from Rebecca was about our credits; she commented that our credits were too big and also could not be in the centre of our shot as it did not look like a normal movie opening. In response to this feedback we changed the size of our movie credits and moved them to the bottom left corner of the screen, but we encountered a problem where in the corner of the screen, because our font is white, you couldnt see the font as clearly.

Rebecca also commented on our movie Title "Average" and where it was placed in the film. She said that our movie title could not be at the end of our film as it would make it too much like a trailer instead of a movie. So we then discussed as a group where to place our movie title.

As a group we decided to place the movie title near the beginning of the movie, shortly after Seun enters the scene.
