Update - Final Project - The Lowest Majority

I'am happy to report that our final project, The Lowest Majority, is nearly finished. James has been working furiously on the editing front, and has smoothed out alot of the errors and problems that were in our film. Of cource some errors are almost impossible to remove with a re-shoot taking place, but giving we filmed in the winter and it's now spring, there will be an even worse continuity error, as when we shot the footage the ground was frosty and the only way we could achieve that now is if we got up incredibly early and hope the light is the same and their is the same ammount of frost on the ground. But none the less James has smoothed out the editing really well and even managed to solve the problem of what could be coincidered a major continuity error! During a scene where Oliver is being chased by Ellen, Martin and William, the crews bags and possesions can be picked up in teh scene as they run passed, but James just rearranged the picture and zoomed it in slightly, cutting out the bags and possesions. Their is one things we believe that needs sorting out and that is the beginning of the film. The idea for the opening is the news broadcasts in a darkened room with the TV being the only source of light and use multiple different camera angles, all focused on the TV. All we need is that shot but for now we have a back up in place, where James took an image from the internet and pasted the news footage we shot over it, and used clever light techniques to make the room darker in the picture. However you can't change the angles on it being it's only a picture, and can only zoom in and out on it, so we really need to get the proper opening shot and stuck on. And one more thing regarding editing, James is adding credits tp the piece and they are looking pretty awesome aswel, so we have high hopes that people will like this x
