Reflection on editing/filming

Since we have finished our filming, I believe that we have done exceptionally well with our time management - despite that fact that we have had a member of our group drop out, and we had to re-film a lot of the film. I believe that the portrayal of our main character was relatively good and that we managed well with the costumes and props, although I do think that baseball jackets etc. would have been much better.
As for the location, I think that we couldn't have got a better location for our shootings. The house was very good and portrayed very good mise-en-scene in relation to props and lighting. Furthermore, the weather for our last shooting was very good and we managed to get a lot of natural lighting. We used some artificial lighting for the 'locker scene' because the location was too dark but it was relatively good and we are all happy with the way that the final cut came out.

Public feedback

Gathering feedback from people in our class etc. we have found that our story line is understandable, however we need to re-edit it and cut down more stuff as it is too long

Setting up and filming the locker/hallway scene

For this locker scene, we used artificial lighting to create the hallway more bright. We also used props such as the folder, ring, scholarship letter.

Filming cafeteria scene

Filming in the cafeteria for when our main character walks into college and meets all of his friends

Filming barber scene

Our main character going to the barbers as a part of his transformation in becoming the popular boy at school. We used a local barbers for this scene, which allowed us to use their barber shop.

Location: Angel, near Angel station/market

Creating and Editing the Soundtrack

We have made our soundtrack using Garageband. We have sourced usable tracks from soundcloud to convey both emotions in our soundtrack, beginning quite sad and emotional and then the other being a more up beat, happier tone. Through the use of Garageband we were also able to add folley sounds such as doors closing and the removing of clothing to make the scene seem more realistic. These folley sounds play over the soundtrack and are incorporated to not dominate the music.
