Results from market research

Here are the results from the market research I did on my target audience's expectations for a promotional film poster:

Market research - expectations of a promotional film poster

Here is a survey that I have also posted on Facebook to find out what my target audience expect from a film poster:

Editing process so far

We have divided our editing between the three of us, each focusing on the shots that we individually filmed so that we can stick to our original visions of how we wanted them to turn out. However, we have made sure to never just have one person editing at one time, so that we can discuss things as a group. We have also made a rule to save any edited versions of our footage as a new document, so that if any mistakes are made, or we wish to revert back to a previous draft, we will always have a more raw footage available to work with. Although we have so far had a technical difficulty in importing the footage onto the Apple Macs (the only way to retain the sound files of our footage is to import them seperately on a memory stick, which means that we are unable to save them onto the Apple Macs), this has not been too much of a problem as there are only a couple of sounds, such as the chiming of a clock in one scene, that we want to keep. We have been told by the technicians that we should be able to add these after we have finished editing the video footage. Apart from this minor problem, editing so far has gone fairly smoothly; we are extremely pleased with the footage, as the actors, acting, costumes and locations have all come together very well. We have cut out all parts of the footage that we don't need, and are currently working on transitions and the order and speed of each shot. We still need to work on a soundtrack, which we will need to further research beforehand.

Garageband tutorials

Although Lucinda is the group member in charge of the soundtrack, Charlotte and I have watched some Garageband tutorials to help give us a better grasp of how it works. This means that if Lucinda encounters any problems with Garageband and making the sountrack, we will be able to offer her help.

Final Cut Pro tutorials

As I haven't really used Final Cut Pro much before, and only for very basic use, I have watched some tutorials such as the ones below to help improve my knowledge of it:

Filming at Kiplin Hall

The filming today has gone extremely well as we got all of the shots finished within three hours. Like at Aske Hall, the storyboard, some of the shots and the order of shots has been changed due to wanting to make the most of the location and having to adapt the contents of our shots when necessary. Here are some photos from the day:
