changes to our project

We are currently editing the that we have previously captured and are finishing off filming the final section of the film.

We have made a few minor changes to the film including where the fades will be placed and for how long they will occur. This is due to the editing of the shots that were originally going to be split up, the shots have been placed together really well, and you can't tell that the section is made up of three different clips. For this reason we thought that it would be a shame to break up the editing and that this would make the clip look jumpy and unprofessional.

We have also added music to the background of our film that we feel is appropriate to the mood and overall feel that we would enable us to give the message of whats happening in the film without using any other sound. We searched through numerous audio discs to find the style of music that suited best. we eventually came to a decision that track 1 from the pastoral disc was most suited and has now been inserted into final cut express to be played alongside our film.

We have changed our storyline slightly for the treatment of the full 120 minute film. Originally the main character Harper was trying to solve the murder in which she uncovers, but now after we have tweaked the storyline, she is related to the people that committed the murder. This makes the storyline make more sense as to why she is trying so desperately to solve the reasons why the murder is committed.

We have also been considering taking out the running section of our film, this is due to the fact that we think it would make the film too long, and would confuse the audience, instead we were considering just doing the montage of shots of the letter being written by Abelard. this decision has not yet been made however, and would depend entirely on the length of the last section of the play.

Overall, we have made numerous changes to our film, although these are only minor changes they still have an effect on the storyline and the way the film will turn out.
