Today during class, Isa and I showed our opening to a friend of ours in the class and she gave us some really good feedback. She told us how although she really liked the opening in general, she understood the idea of what the red world represented more than the blue world. We asked her why she thought that and what we could do to clear it up and she said that with the arguing in the red world plus the article it helped convey the message even more but with the blue world it was only the article and she couldn't really tell the difference. We didn't really know what to do other than change the idea of the article and reshoot that one shot. A different suggestion was given to us which was to make it a little easier on ourselves and instead of reshooting we could just add in a voice over in that one scene plus a different scene in the opening. We could use this to help explain what we are trying to say in a way that it isn't specifically telling you exactly what's happening, but giving more 'hints' to show you. My fear with the voiceover is that there's a chance that it can come out cheesy but there isn't anything else we can do other than try. I am not too stressed about it because I know we have mostly everything else done and we will eventually be okay! As this journey is coming to an end it feels bittersweet. Although it was stressful a lot of the time I feel like i've learned so much about the process and about myself. Over the next 2-3 days I'm going to be putting up my final thoughts and why we made some of our choices to change up our idea along with my CCR and final product.
Until next time,
Jess
