Progress Report

Well, this week we managed to edit our footage to a very productive standard I may say. We managed to import songs such as My Humps and managed to organise the positioning and timing of the scenes that we needed. Whats more, we successfully managed to create the PRIME TIMES PRODUCTION logo , as well as the SCREWED logo using a typical high school font. In addition, I managed to create some typography of a extracted quote from a magazine,which is a typical convention of teen comedy trailers. Hopefully, we should be able to film the remaining scenes such as Monica's mum's scene and Ms Dixon's scene . Also, we managed to trim the scenes and import five songs, which need to be positioned and edited.Personally, I managed to complete the first draft of the EMPIRE two page feature, which is of a n interview with Monica. However, I still need to change the background, although the text and images and captions are justified and suitable. Furthermore, I really need to buy a Cosmopolitan magazine for the next feature of an interview about Monica's life in the movies.

Action Plan

For next week, we need to have positioned the five songs within the trailer and edited the middle of the trailer and improved the lighting in some of the scenes. Furthermore, we need to capture Ms Dixon's and Monica's mum's scenes in the trailer, so that we can edit other parts to meet time constraints with the brief. Most importantly, our footage is at 3:00 minutes, so we need to cut it down to the 2:00 minute stage which is mandatory in the exam brief. In terms of the print production, I need to buy a Cosmopolitan magazine and choose relevant fonts and images for the interview with the lead character. Also, I need to continue editing and add more typography in the trailer, which will make it look more authentic.
