final week of editing
loadsa pressure on everyone to get it done and ready for 4pm Friday 1th April
some members are absent because of sociology revision classes, but theres two days and some groups are bang on the dot with finishing touches, a rappers ambition, pyar ki ek kahani and face of fear are some of the nearly finished ones that i've seen, but some are quite behind and are feeling the pressure.
most of them just have bits and pieces to re-shoot because of shoot issues etc, but its not that bad ! ! hopefully everything gets sorted by Friday!!!!!

Just a few notes/messages to the individual groups that i have seen:

Stranger: saw it for the first time today, very impressed! acting is really good! quite believeable. just have a few shots to re-film and they should be done just need to add finishing touches

Asian Invasion:personally i haven't seen much! so i can't really comment on it, when i checked they were putting it into sequence.

Just a game: again haven't seen much but are working at it throughout!

Herbal Remedy:

A rapper's ambition: gotta say well done! got their act together, got it in sequence have a full clear idea of what is expected and believe they can finish it by friday! guys

Sound of the underdogs: Almost there! 5 minutes, so far, but quite a few gaps i tried to help vipesh think of what to put in the gaps! don't really have anymore footage to cpature but vipesh their there is footage which is planned to be recorded! i personally think its quite late to be filming new things, but if they believe they're able to prepare their production by friday, i'm happy to push them to it!

Crime: Very good opening sequence, at first the voice over with mr Bonner seemed,... unusual, but it seems to fit in well. apart from that, i'm hoping theres more footage to be seen!

Street crime: saman showed me what they have so far and i liked it, just had minor things to change for example titles needed to be centered, and kept within the boxed frame.

Silent pain: have one interview which may be a problem but they do want to add archive footage to keep the audience engaged withint he short documentary.

Saving faith: LOVE this one! :) only because they jump around alot lol! They've gone out of their way to get the effects, sitting on a bridge! ! ! guns etc, seems quite real. good luck with the rest of it!

Face of fear: I felt they were the most prepared group and the most commited, therefore were able to finish their editing very early! ! !

Pyar ki ek kahani: another committed group, Latisha and jas have been in everytime i was present, and have worked to make a 3 minute trailer, it shows how much they had to work with, but can be a downfall because it is just slightly longer than a usual trailer! but they can cut this down, i've suggested they cut down the scene in the pink saree, because it makes the trailer quite long but they need to find a way to not give away the whole story!


Apart from this: I WANT TO WICH EVERYONE THE BEST OF LUCK IN FINISHING THEIR PRODUCTIONS AND THEIR EVALUATIONS, I HOPE YOU ALL GET A'S lol woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
good luck guys have fun! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! :)
