Desicion - Sound

Hi everyone.

From previous posts you should have seen that we have been advised to change our sound and we were going to do that. We experimented with different kind of sound, more modern, club sound which we thought will be better for the piece but it didn't go well.
If we changed the sound into something like this then that would mean the girls need to act more confident, cocky, maybe using slang words but that's not how they are in the video and i think this is a reason why the club sound doesn't go well.
I think that the sound that we already have goes well with the video now is because it shows the innocence of those girls. They don't really know what they're getting into by taking drugs, they don't realise what the consequences might be. And this is good because this is what we want to show - ordinary girls in a situation like this. There are so many other girls out there who might do the same, but we hope that seeing our movie they wouldn't want to.

LOCATION 1st part of opening sequence

 Me and my partner Anna have talked about the possible locations we could use when filming our 1st part of the production.
The first idea was to use Camden Town in the night, thinking that we could show the clubs first which would show the audience where the girl has been and then after show her in a small street where she is just lost. It will be also easier for us because we live near it and we want to film at 5 o'clock in the morning when the sun is just rising.
The specific place that we've chosen also has a lot of potential risks like the river. If you can imagine a drugged young girl coming back from a party and walking by a river, what would that make you feel as an audience member? Is she going to fall in the water, Is someone going to push her in it? It highlights the danger of taking drugs and loosing control over your actions.
We are planning to take some shots and post them so you can give your opinion. Keep following.

Feedback

Today we showed our work to some of our class mates. I was a bit disappointed because I thought that the sound went very well with our scene and It looks nice and the scene flows but our friend actually made a point. In our production we try and educate a bit and a good way of doing this if our audience can relate to our characters. For example, like our friend said if a teenage girl is getting ready for a party and she is about to take drugs, we should put like a clubbing sound, something more exciting, more modern, something that our audience is likely to listen to. This was the point that our friend made and I think she is right. We are going to work a bit more on the sound and see if we can change it to something better.
