What we are doing in the lesson today...

Today, we are editing part of our footage from the park scene where Waq and I are playing with a frisbee and showing memories of our relationship together. We have already cross dissolved the shot of me and Waq having a picnic; which has allowed us to incorporate this shot into the next chronological shot being of Waq singing, leaning on a tree so that it looks like it is part of the same shot, (even though it is really two shots of which he is both in.)

In part of our footage, we have managed to crop the image and colour correct it to give the impression that some of the footage is made to look aged. Cameron has cut all the footage that we have filmed so far into shorter clips so that they will be easier to syncronise with the lip syncing and so that our timing will be perfected as it will be easier to recognise when a shot fits with a certain part of the song whether it be a chorous, bridge, or verse.

We have also been colour testing; the point of this is because the memory scenes need to be in a different colour so that our narrative is still clear, as to the story being about a boyfriend and girlfriend and the boyfriend looking back on the good times they shared together until the inevitable ending where the girlfriend dies in a car accident. We have also put in a transition which helps the audience understand that the boyfriend is looking back on the past.
