Welcome to my blog for my A2 Media Studies coursework. With Hayley Pitcher, we have planned and created a 5 minute pyschological thriller entitled 'Mind Trap', which focuses on the life of Lucy, a teenager suffering from schizophrenia. As well as this, we have created two anciliary products; an audio advert that would be fit to broadcast on the radio and a poster to advertise our film to our demographic.

2nd February 2011

We are now nearly finished with the first edit. Here is the same list from 12th January post, but with the things we have done crossed off:

- Finish first scene
- Finish second scene
- Finish third scene
- Finish fourth scene
- Do End credits
- Find music for end credits (copyrighting is an issue)
- Make hallucinations black and white - Make Lucas' voice more spooky (experiment with sound FX on FCP)
- Make Roxanne’s voice sound like a phone call (experiment with sound FX on FCP)
- Tighten up editing
- Figure out how to fade black and white into colour when Lucy answers the phone
- Dub a phone ringing over Lucy's ringtone?
- Do fade transitions
- Sort out sound (delete sound where we don’t need it, make sure sound is in sync with footage)
- Export and audience feedback (film audience feedback)

As you can see, we have done a majority of the things on the list, but we still need to do the end credits (which we plan to do after we have finished the film so we can determine how long/short they need to be in accordance with how long our actual film is) and export the file, but this cannot be done until we are finished.
