Media Journal-Week 14

This week Our group found out that Rebbecca(Becky) dropped out of media,therefore only myself and Yasmin and Jasmine will be in the group.On Tuesday jasmine was absent,so we had do things without her.Even though the deadline is very close me and Yasmin had to think and discuss alternatives for our title sequence because the dance scenes were poorly shot.At one point we thought about producing a whole new title sequence,but unfortunately we have limited time on our hands.Another option,a simplifier,this we can use to make the sequence less complicated technically and story wise.

Ms Whittaker previewed the title sequence and also gave positive and constructive feedback for us to work on. She gave me good ideas on how to present the dance scene coherently.I think that editing the sequence with advise from Ms Whittaker has added to my editing skills.I feel like I have learnt more techniques, which will help me in the future.

On Friday, I went to visit another location (YMCA)whereby , youth could fill in for absent actors in our sequence.Unfortunately I was unable to make it due to timing and transport issues.I then decided to go today(Sunday) which was also another problem because when I got there the YMCA centre was closed.On Friday and Saturday I had contacted them with different contacts on a number of occasions but there was no response.I then contacted Yasmin and told her the problems that I was having but ,Yasmin herself was stuck for a solution.Next week I will ask Ms Whittaker for advise and alternatives since myself and Yasmin feel like there is no way out of this situation.
