Progess Thus Far

First draft of the script was completed in mid February.

Preliminary filming was started during the previous half term and completed during the half term holiday. Filming went more or less according to plan, however, we found that we were over ambitious in our original goal, as we filmed an excessive amount of footage (around 15 minutes, including retakes however).

Editing of footage into a two minute opening sequence has been completed,and visual effects, credits and a soundtrack have also been completed and applied. Even with the cuts that we were forced to make in order to fit it into the allocated running time, the film so far meets and in some ways surpasses my original vision. Our final sequence has surpassed our original predictions by four seconds, bring the total running time to 132 seconds. This meets the exact time limit of 2 minutes as well as the 10% extra allowance.

All that remains is to record and apply the voice track and then configure the entire film's sound balance properly. We are running slightly behind schedule, however this is due to the poor weather conditions earlier in February that forced the closure of college and thus denied us access to resources for two days (I understand an extra ten days were allocated to us because of this? - Ed).

Stay tuned...
