Progress

Today we finished editing the sequence. We managed to remember most of the sequence so it wasn't too much of a struggle to put it back together. Now we have to do credits and finish off creating music. I am very happy with the progress we have made in the past week.

Progress

Today we carried on editing during the lesson. However we could not edit after school as the computer with our work on was being used by someone else. We instead started making a behind the scenes/bloopers video and worked on music. I think we made a lot of progress. The video, I think, looks really good and the music we found is very suitable for our film and could be used during the 'getting ready' shots or the 'party' shots. However we have not decided which part of our sequence we will include this music in. We will decide once we have finished editing. I don't think it would be a good idea to use the same music throughout the sequence because I think it will make it a bit boring and you need a change between the different shots.

Progress - Title

We have decided against the idea of naming our film 'Not Another Love Story' because it sounds too cheesy and we have decided to think of a name that sounds less 'girly' and will appeal more to both males and females. I think our film will be better suited being a coming-of-age film. Tonight each person in the group will try and think of possible names for our film and present their ideas to the group tomorrow. I am personally a lot happier naming our film something less cheesy because I would prefer our film to be aimed at a larger target audience.

Progress

We started editing today. So far everything has been running smoothly. As we had finished editing before and watched it through many times it was quite easy for us to remember the order in which the clips went in. I think as long as we spend our free periods and after school working on it we will finish it in time.

Progress

We have recently just been given new macs and now have the software installed. This means we are able to edit our sequence again.

Examples Of Representation

Sleepless In Seattle

Annie can also be seen as a stereotypical 30-something woman. At the beginning of the film you see her getting engaged to Walter. The audience can see instantly tell that their relationship is wrong, but they are of the naive impression that they are happy. It is clear she is not in a happy relationship. When Annie listens to the radio she gets caught up in the drama of a mysterious man on the radio and listens to him talk about how much he misses his wife. Annie would like a sensitive, caring man like this. When they finally meet it is clear that Sam is a much more perfect match for her and their inevitable meeting on top of the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day provides her with the romance she wants.

Examples Of Representation

Bridget Jones

Bridget Jones is a single woman living in London. She can be seen as the stereotypical 30-year-old woman. She is a successful, with a good job but she is someone who does not want to be single. When her personal life goes wrong, she can be seen to be on the sofa, drinking, smoking and watching romantic films. She also has stereotypical worries, such as her weight, alcohol and cigarette consumption and the opposite sex. However, her ongoing dialogue with herself, also reveals a stronger side to her personality.
