Filming and Editing so far

Filming:
We have finished all of our footage and believe we have enough angles to create a good film. The ballet and the ballroom scene came out better than we expected as we were worried it would look too much like a school. The club scene was the hardest bit to film as not many people turned up even though they promised us they would. We had trouble getting lots of close-ups and different angles in the time slot we had and making it look effective with the amount of people we had. We had to re-film this section as we didnt have enough footage but after that we did we got what we needed and had a lot more to work with. Our best filmed scene was the underpass scene as it was easy to put together and simple to do. We were most worried about the alley scene as we didnt have a male who could really do hip-hop but we created a simple routine for him and we believe that the footage was a lot better than expected with a lot of different angles and shots.

Editing
We took about a week to get all the editing on to the allocated time for the song. We found our underpass scene easy to put together with a lot of cuts to make it more interesting. Our ballroom and ballet scene were also quite easy to put together but we found it tricky to make it look like it wasnt just filmed at school. The section with the most trouble was the club scene as we had to try and make it look realistic. We put it together quite well and it has a slight feeling of disoreintation that i like about it. The hip-hop scene was rather easy to put together also as we had a lot of footage to work with. In the end this is my favourite scene as i like the transition between this and the ballet one before it. We havent quite finished the editing as we need to put the underpass bit at the end. We are currently getting some feedback for our editing so we know where to go from here and what bits needs working on. We feel we are about 50% of the way finished.
