Last March Update

So like everyone else around this time of year, I've been hammered with tons of work from other classes including this one. It's been difficult trying to focus most of my attention on one particular project, so production on all of them has been constantly delaying. I'm going to try and focus on transitions for my film this weekend, and the week after I can begin working on the soundtrack for the film if there will be one for it. I'm still deciding whether or not I want to design sound for my film or if I want to keep it silent and create a soundtrack for it instead. I'm convinced that it can work both ways, if they're both done really well. I think I've already mentioned the lightning effects I've been thinking about using for the transitions between time periods; the shot would have a character perform the appropriate action, and the quick, yet elaborate effect would appear and signal the viewer to the next shot. Other ideas I've had include extending a few shots with others by creating montage sequences, or tweaking camera movements that could make the film more impactful in a discreet way. Besides that, just the editing would be the primary focus, as it is now. That's all.
