All footage and sound captured and uploaded

OK, so we have finally captured and created everything that we needed to construct our final short film. The editing has been an ongoing process that both myself and Blaine have been very excited and motivated about, whilst watching and editing all the footage making little cuts here having a spark of genius there, it is really exciting to watch our hard work and effort come together as the final product is slowly taking shape.
Yesterday Blaine and I went on a long bike ride into the wilderness with some newly purchased sound recording equipment purchased by the school (A boom). we wanted to re-capture some of the ambient sound made by the birds within the graveyard. This was due to the fact that on the day of filming, maintenance was taking place and this intercepted the sound quality that we wanted and the over all feel and atmosphere we wanted to create of segregation. We decided to film the birds again and it was very good quality and we are happy that we decided to re-capture the sound.
We also used the boom to capture the voice over of the main antagonist, we wanted his voice to be very clear and dominant within the film so we recorded this sound separately to the film and within a quite location to enable the voice over to be raised specifiably to the decibel level that we desire without any ambient sounds also being increased.

We have been editing some of the scenes as we have gone along the course and now we have a large quantity of the film to the standard that we desire. We will try to finish editing the footage today and then we can also add the voiceover and re-captured ambient sounds to have our final short film finished and to a high standard that we want, before we recieve feedback from potential consumers.
