Production Log 9

What have been your issues for production this week?
What have you taken in to account peer feedback?
What decisions did you make about these issues and why?

This week me and Joe were putting together the laundry scenes with the others that we had already filmed. This was easier than having to do the first ones as all we had to do was put them where they needed to go. When we put together all of the shots we realised that it didn't make as much sense as what we thought it did when we was putting it together. The cuts were too rapid so we had to find a solution. We ended up putting in a fade to black transition each time it went from the laundry to Adriana's travel to work. We didn't put them when going from Adriana to the workplace and we thought that it would be more affective as we thought it showed whats going on at the same time as her journey and how each of the characters feel. The feedback that we got from everyone that watched our draft, we took to improve it, which made it a lot better, such as eye contact with the camera when Adriana is running down the stairs and also adjusted the sound completely so that it sounded a lot better. Me and Joe thought that the hardest thing was finding suitable music and we searched online trying to see what suited it best. We changed from fast and upbeat music to calm piano playing, just to make sure we would make the right decision. In the end we chose a piano song and think it suited everything, adding suspense. 
Putting the graphics on at the end was quite difficult as I had done it before, so I had to learn to do it properly. I think that they looked really good at the end as they ran smoothly and I think that the credits appearred at the right time, and also because they didn't stand out too much, which is how they are meant to be in a British Social Realist film.
