In the tutorial today, Steve watched my version of the edit and had one suggestion that would improve it. The idea being that because we have manipulated the public interviews to include the positive things they have said at the end, we should show this process somehow, maybe by voiceover, arguing against the negative public views at the beginning. Amy reckons this would work well with some new cutaways recorded of me editing etc.
My personal thoughts on this are that it would be a good idea to incorporate into the film, especially with the kind of tone it has already. However I feel that at this stage of the production it may be hard to fit it into the piece, and organising equipment etc at the last minute just to change something that already works may stretch us a little, in my opinion.

I completely agree with Steve's suggestion and think we should go for it. I feel that, at the moment, our conclusion sort of concludes how media students can get in to the industry, but doesn't conclude that we have proved the negative stereotypes of media students that were demonstrated at the beginning of the film (the opening few shots of public interviews). As it's stated in the project statement that we hope to prove this stereotype wrong, I feel that it's quite important to argue against it at the end of the film.
ReplyDeleteI think that we could perhaps get a few shots of media students 'on the job' and have a short voiceover alongside - not sure entirely on what this voiceover would say, but something explaining that media students aren't the lazy stereotype as suggested by the public earlier in the film. This will be supported by the shots of things such as Dan editing/selecting shots, the paperwork that goes in to producing films (I already have this for the group folder) and the clips that we already have of us out filming.
Getting these shots/voiceovers won't take to long at all. We could get these shots easily within 2 hours. Additionally, the voiceover will only be around 20 seconds long and therefore shouldn't take too long to edit in to the end of the piece.
We have one week left and have only one point for improvement from Steve. Since the rest of the edit is completely finished, I don't see any reason why we can't spend a bit of time, a couple of days at the most, to complete this final touch, that I feel would complete the film.
