Final Project

Yesterday we stayed behind after school in order to make sure we can get a rough cut finished for the first deadline. We decided to experiment with the texturize effect in order to create a style of video very closely related to the general make up of the movie "Seven". Currently it looks acceptable on the video, however now we are beginning to worry that we may to begin to overuse the texturize effect and therefore we are going to have to watch how much we use it throughout the film. Even with the effect in place it still looks a bit choppy and the way that the effect cuts in between scene often blurs the picture making it difficult to make out what is actually happening on the film. As we are going through the final parts of our editing process we are going to have to ensure that at the points of which we implement the texturize effect we ensure that it is used in the right situations and fits the scene accordingly. The biggest problem being as mentioned making sure that we do not overuse the effect and in doing so render it mundane and so it in turn making the shoot look repetitive and boring. In order to counter this we are going to explore more possible effects we could incorporate throughout the editing process. This phase may be something that we can explore after the rough cut has been done, this would allow us to act upon the feedback we receive and evaluate the usefulness of the effects we are using. In terms of progress we are reasonably close to getting the clips into the correct order, this will not take too long as long as premier pro goes smoothly which it is currently not, at the moment it is taking extensive time to load and even more time to edit and render making it very difficult to make sure the cuts in our edits are accurate due to the choppiness of the clips. However slowly it is coming together and we should have a rough cut ready very soon. The last thing that we need to do is to just shorten a few of the clips and add the titles in regarding directors, writers and actors etc. When this is done we should hopefully be able to export the file and upload it onto the blog.
