Production Log 16

This week we were working on editing the opening sequence of the film, we were using Final Cut to edit it. We came across some issues when recording today, these being that the footage that we used wasn't all suitable for the film, for example some of the shots were too distant or too many of them were long shots. We also had a few issues where some of the shot's couldn't be added in because we were still waiting for confirmation to record at the police station. However we finally got permission and are now able to record the final few shots next week. 

We also needed to find some music as well since the copyright music holder still hadn't sent an email back to us about being able to use their song, instead I went and found a site that uploaded copyright free music as well as multiple channels on YouTube that also uploaded non-copyright music for people to use. We are going to add this into the film as well. 

The feedback that we received for the edit was that it wasn't complete and that we needed to add more to the opening sequence. From this we of course decided to add more work to the edit by including more of the clips in the sequence. From all the feedback I know what changes I am going to make, I need to change lower the contrast in the lighting of the alleyway shots since they were too dark, which we did do and then to resume in editing the opening sequence.
