Meeting 6:

In today's meeting, we uploaded the footage onto the Mac and started editing. We used 'Premier Pro' to put all the footage together in the right order and used cross-cutting to show the girl and then the boy looking around and then walking. We then added music, effects and texts. At the end, it all amounted up to 3 minutes and our time-limit was 2minutes and 12 seconds. We decided on cutting the very beginning from our storyboard out as it did not look right because the girl came down the stairs and the boy didn't so the cross-cutting didn't match. So we cut and kept the bit from when the first shot is of the girls foot and the guys foot and so on. The music added was not the type of music that was mentioned in the storyboard however it was still up-beat and rhythmic so it worked well as it connoted the happiness the female was feeling to go see her boyfriend. The ending also looked weird so "The Next Day" plan did not work out in this case so we decided to cut it out and put the bit of the boy and girl seeing each other on the street at the very end. The restaurant scene also did not work because it was too dark inside and not many variety of shots were used so we decided to cut that bit out too and re-do it but not have the restaurant scene in it at all. We did not expect to make these many changes and cut scenes out but we had no choice as it didn't look very nice. We decided to change the location but keep the same characters to film the break-up scene. We wanted a location that was easy to get to and not too far away from all of us so we wouldn't have to travel very far and one that was suitable to fit into the sequence; a park was ideal as it seemed like a realistic location for a couple to meet. We found one near-by that had a fountain and a little bridge crossing over the pond with trees and benches around. It seemed like a very idealistic location and it also looked romantic; a perfect location for a couple to meet up, so we decided we would go there to film. We also were deciding between having two break-ups; one for the male protagonist to break up with his girlfriend and one for the female protagonist to break up with her boyfriend but finding another female Asian character to film in our filming slot was hard to find and also we were not sure as to whether it would go over the time-limit again so we decided just to stick to one break-up so it would make sense that the female protagonist would end up being with the male protagonist in the end.
