Editing our new narrative 8th-12th

This week was the last week we were able to edit our video as it was due in on the 15th. At the start of the week, we proceeded with what we had already got and continued to edit. As we knew time was running out and it was going to be a tight affair nearer the end of the week, we worked hard and sacrificed time in our day to edit. As the week progressed, we developed the narrative and performance and put more depth into the video, with cutaways and jump cuts etc. We worked on the video in every media lesson we had in the week and me and my other group members devoted our time at breaks, lunches and sometimes after school to get it done. By Thursday, we had finished and allowed class members and our teacher to watch it, insisting they gave us feedback on how to make it better. The feedback was varied and different people liked different things but the most constructive criticisms came from our friends in the class, who were honest. The said to include parts of already made videos and incorporate them into our video. When speaking to the teacher, he said we were allowed 30 seconds of other video to put into ours. This worked well and we found VHS camera footage from the late 80's, fitting the theme of the video well. It added more footage, which we didn't really need but kept the flow of the video and tempo high. We included the clips where we were told the video was too long and including this footage shortened the clips. We were also told to put a filter over the performance aspect to vary the color of the overall video. We looked through the filters on iMovie and picked the 'Vintage' one. It added an orange tinge to the footage and developed the codes and conventions of the genre. The feedback we received helped us make the video better and i feel it is the best it can be.
