We have now finised both out poster and our radio advert and so it was time to start the first edit of out film. Our teacher decided that the best time to finsih the first edit was straight after half term. This deadline is easily achieveable as we have already started to eduiot out film due to the fact that when we were unable to use some of the equipment needed we started editing out film so not to waste time. We are using Final Cut Pro to edit our film and I have been given responsibility of being the main editor. This is because I have had editing experience through other programmes due to the vlogging I do in my spare time and due to the fact that I have made fan videos which have recieved over 46,000 views on youtube.
In terms of analysing full-lentgh feature films, we chose 'Donnie Darko' and 'Memento'.
'Donnie Darko' (2001)
This film applies to our film because it tells the story of Donnie Darko, a teenager who is plagued by Frank, a hallucination that takes the form of a demonic rabbit. Frank threatens everything in Donnie's life and, while no one seems to believe him; Gretchen is one of the few people Donnie can talk to abou this hallucinations. This is very similar to our film, but we have chosen to use a person to plague Lucy to make it easier for us to film and organize and we feel that using something like a rabbit would make the film more comedic and off topic.
'Memento' (2000)
One thing that we decided to take from this film is the use of black and white footage and colour and how they are used to distinguish between past events and present events throughout the movie. We thought that this was very effective and that it made the film easier to undersatand, so we decided to use this idea to show the difference between Lucy's hallucinations and reality. We also liked the way that the plot is jumbled up, but we didn't think that this would work in out film as we don't have the time scale to develop a complex plot.
