Reflection 4/2/13

   Having already filmed the opening scenes and all of the portals over three shooting dates, our film group worked on editing and sound design in today's film class. Our editor had already transferred the footage onto Final Cut Pro, but we still had to select the best clips and trim them before inserting the sequences into the timeline in chronological order. In addition, I had to help the sound designer in matching the voice over narration with the protagonist's blocking since timing was crucial in exploring and expressing the themes and complex plot of this film.
   After the rough cut was completed, we showed Ms Wong our film to receive constructive feedback for improvement. She was impressed with the acting and the framing but she also wanted more precision in the sound design (the sound levels of voice over vs background music vs ambience) in addition to more location mismatch for smoother transitions and portals. We responded to this piece of feedback by working on the sound levels of the different video clips and also considering the different portals in which we could use in succession.
