CAP Hollywood Week Two

So this week in CAP Hollywood my group almost finished our rough cut. Although we're only done with the first two acts, I think what we do have is really good. We have a variety of shots and I think some of them are very interesting. We could have probably finished the rough cut Friday if we weren't spending a lot of time on the details. So instead of having a lot of it badly put together, we have less of it that's pretty well constructed.

So far we have the two good acts, music, and credits. I think that so far we're pretty on track with what we need to do, as long as we can put in some time after school. No one in our group was able to come in for Saturday editing this weekend, but I think we will be more able to work after school on weekdays after tomorrow, because there will be no more studying for the AP.

Another thing we've done that's important is edited down the footage we've put on the computer. We have taken out all of the shots that didn't work or bloopers, and we've sorted all the footage into different folders, so we know exactly where to go for each shot, and we have several of each to choose from. This will make the remainder of our editing a lot easier.

Something else we need to do is to work on the pacing of our film. It moves quickly, and we probably will end up with it a little shorter than we want. To fix this, we're going to use some establishing shots we got around the store to slow things down.

Another problem we're having is with putting together some pieces that don't seem to have any transitioning shots between them. We're going to have to figure out how to make the disjointed style work with our film.
Hopefully this week we can finish with the visual aspect of our film, so we can work on the audio next week. It would also be good if we could do our movie poster.
