blog 13

In week 13, we began editing our recording in order to make as much progress as we could. We found whilst doing the activity that finding the shots appropriate was the most difficult part, as we needed to make the footage compliment the lyrics of the song. Furthermore, it was made  even more difficult as we were aiming to make the character lip sync a vast amount of the song. This meant that we needed to get the timing of our shots coinciding with the beat and lyrics of the song. After a stuttering start, this became easier to do as we were able to get use to the process thus enabling us to pull together a range of shots that worked effectively as it portrayed the character as lonely and depressed. I felt that we achieved this side to our protagonist character because he came across as desperate. I felt that this was relatable to the target audience because they haven't had the easiest of upbringings, so them seeing an individual  like them who ended up being successful given them encourage to succeed and also the motivation to follow their dreams.

Overall, this week was really challenging and i would say was the most difficult since we started the course. There was a lot of uncertainty and confusion about which shots to use. Although we did gather some momentum towards the end, i still feel that we didn't make the amount of progress that we would've wanted.
