The aftermath...

The next week of media lessons were dedicated to uploading the footage and looking through it to see what we could use and what needed to never be seen again!

We used input and output points to break up the footage, rather than having one long piece of footage which we have to go the whole way through each time. We burned the song from the CD to iTunes, then imported it to Final Cut Express. We started to fit teh footage of the band to the chorus, doing it this way round means that we will have the lip syncing perfect, then we can fit the storyline around it, rather than having to do it the other way.


We had a slight cast change too. We decided that since James had cut his hair short he looked too much like Jerome. The band offered us a replacement who they assured us was perfect for the part. We also decided that Grace would work better than Danni as the girl in our film as she does A-level drama and was likely to be more convincing.

When checking the final details of our storyline, we decided that we would rather film the boyfriend finding out about his cheating girlfriend in his house than Costa for a number of reasons:

1. We would have to gain permission from Costa to film on their premesis, which would take up time that we didn't have.

2. To keep moving locations on the only day that we had available for filming would be a complete time waster.

3. We would have to get written permission from every person who walked through the background of the film, and have to organize people so that they weren't in the way of the film.

In light of this, we decided to have the boyfriend catching his cheating girlfriend at home because it made the whole betrayal more stinging. It also showed that the girl wasn't just out with a friend for coffee and was most definitley cheating.
