Finished Editing With Sounds

After all the editing was completed. We started to work on the sounds. Sounds varied from sound effects, to dubbing. When we dubbed all the voices, none of the teachers were free so we got other people to do it for them. we used Logic Pro to record the voices and to match them up with the video clips. With logic pro, we also created sounds such as when he enters the dream world.

Audience Feedback Without Sounds

For our audience feedback we got some students from other classes to view our films. They gave the following feedback:

· The music was nice; the sound effects worked well with the nature of the film and created suspicion which was good as it reflected the mission impossible theme.

· The animations were funny; it allowed the character to do things that he wouldn’t be able to do in human form.

· The end was slightly confusing because it was unclear what was happening.

· The actor’s acting was very good but needed to be more believable.

· The story flowed well e.g. the part where there was a swirly dream effect to show that we were going into hid imagination.

· The idea of film and animation combined was great - the transitions between both film and animation were good.

· The music was good.

· The voice over timing in the mother scene was also very good.

After hearing the feedback we had a group discussion to reflect on our work. We decided that most important thing we needed to work on was our ending because at the moment it is confusing to the audience as to happens at the end of the film. However at this stage we were finding it bery difficult to come up with any bright ideas.

Editing

At first, i went through all the clips and put them in order, including what sounds we would need and what transitions and effects. None of us had any experience with Final Cut, so we had two people come in to give us a basic tutorial of how to use it. However, before they came, we had a look ourselves. We managed to pick up some of the basics and had even started editing. There was a couple of problems that we did not know how to fix such as rendering, etc. But after we were helped, we started to piece the film bit by bit including transitions. we needed.

Complication

There was a problem with our external hardrive. It started to smoke up and after that, we could not use it. We lost alot of our work. Most things were backed up except the recording that we took on the first shoot. This meant that we had to refilm. Luckily, Mr Bruce was free, although, the weather was not good that day as it was raining. However, even with the bad weather, we managed to get through it and get through most of the scenes. Some scenes we were unable to do, due to lack of time.

5th Animation

This scene took me some time because i did the scene in the opposite direstion. Instead of nathan going right to left, i made it left to right. I had to redo the whole thing but i realised it was much easier to do it again because i knew what i was doing.

4th Animation

The beggining of the scene i made a couple of mistakes with the walking. It doesnt look like he is actually walking but i do not know how to make him do this as i have never done it before. This sceen was a little complex to do as there are alot of things going on. But in the end, i managed to do it.
