Tuesday 10th March
Today, as we had the full amount of footage, we decided we should find music that fitted our piece. As we have to use non copyright music, we decided to go on www.freeplaymusic.com, and find something that was comedic, but also made you feel sorry for Edwardo, by the end of this lesson, we found a few we were happy with, and decided we would choose the final piece of music tomorrow, whilst editing the film, so we could judge effectively if the music fit with the tone and genre of the film

Today, as most of the editing was done, save the music adding, and the credits, we decided to record the voice over. We basically stuck to the original script, however for added comic effect we added a short, "oh crap" when the guys come out the room, which we got the idea from watching one of our films we had to analyze a few months ago , because it's rather slapstick and due to the short and snappy nature of the word we thought it would make the audience laugh. We also added better information on who Hannah was, for better clarity on who she was ( e.g Edwardo secretly being in love with her), and it sets up her story for the rest of the film

We finished the film today! We started off by running through the film, and editing the sections to perfection, there were 3 sections: The beginning bit in the bush to where he gets hit with a snowball, the walking through school and getting called to the bit with the bully, and the 'you owe me money' bit to the end. We edited the audio, and put the peice of music for the titles in, and as it was a drummy piece, we decided to make it start playing as soon as the snowball hits him, for added comedy. Also, on the bit where Hannah hits the bully, we paused it, so there was enough time to Edwardo to say his voiceover. We paused it because without it, there wouldn't have been enough time to say the voiceover as it is a particularly fast scene. Also, we put the credits in, we made them fly in from either side, as this is also typical of comedy films, they were like this "Matt Daukintis as Edwardo" so you could identify easier.
