Final Group Meetings


    In our final group meetings before the big push towards the end of the project, I was able to discuss some of the issues that we had been having throughout our filming process, along with some advice about other parts of the project that may be extremely helpful.
    The first thing I discussed was the fact that some of our scene is lit extremely poorly in the beginning portion of the scene. My group had several ideas involving this, one being to kind of abandon that part altogether. They were primarily discussing the fact that we were maybe trying to do too much with the film in the first two minutes of it, maybe even having too much going on to make sense, and that maybe leaving out the poorly lit part would be better overall. Another idea they discussed, along with some ideas given to us in the days before, would be to play with the brightness, saturation, and colors of the video clips themselves. This would allow us to try and improve the lighting in the scene without having to reshoot it, and would also allow us to control everything that is going on. Although neither is the most ideal, as the first would eliminate part of our planned story and the second would add some time to our editing process, both are preferable to reshooting, especially with the limited time left to work. These are things that we still need to discuss as a group, and will make further decisions in the next few days. A possible solution may be to edit thee second, more well lit portion of the video and see how it stands by itself without the first portion and work from there.
    Another thing brought up in our group meeting was the use of music and sound in our video. Although we had been thinking about this prior, a member in my group proposed that we use the website purple-planet.com for our music. They provide all types of music and movie genre specific music that may be extremely helpful as we move forward when adding sounds and music.
