Focus group on short film

In the middle stages whilst editing we had a focus group on our product so far. We did this to gather important audience feedback.
Some of the audience feedback was a good transition in the 'Just the two of us scene' with the music. Also in this scene the interaction between the characters could be between to show that an relationship is siring up.

Final editing session

We now had a limited time to finish our editing. Whilst editing in the last two session we found that our short film had gone over the specified time allocated of 5 minutes. We were over by about 2 minutes. Our teacher had helped us dramatically by cutting out some shots which were maybe irrelevant but saved us time. The process was painful  because so many shots were removed at once. As the day ended our time was running our. Our short film was almost complete but we had to work hard in the last 30mins to get the last scenes together.
10mins before the deadline we found that we had complete, so we decided to add extra bloopers at the end for audience purposes.

Editing session

In this session we found that the problems with the lighting issue was a major setback. We had to get help from the technician to help us colour correct. There was more issues which was the frames per second on the cameras. When we opened files from the first day of footage and tried to merge it with the files from the third day of footage it did not render properly. This was because we used two different cameras with different settings which had different frames per second of 25 and 30. this delayed us a whole session which all the files had to be converted all again.
