Some changes were made regarding my personal role in the film. I was previously acting in it and helping with the filming, but due to the cameraperson dropping out, it meant I had to take over her responsibilities.
This caused quite a problem for the group as roles had to be switched around.
We found editing fun but tedious. There was so much to do in order to get the output that we wanted.
We used a lot of dissolves to hide messy cuts. I found literally unbearable to keep putting cuts in every few seconds. It made wonder how feature length films are edited and if they use quite a lot of dissolves as well.
As a group music was not really a big issue for us. Due to the changes in the coursework criteria, we could not use copyright music for our films. This immediately meant that most of the music we listen to was basically untouchable. So because of this we did not really pay that much attention on the music and just focused on everything else.
The sound we did use was a typewriter for the title and a piece of moody music for the first flashback. I thought the music worked really well with the scene as it set the mood, but it also highlighted the characters emotions at that point. The music is played at a time when Sitare had just had an argument with her former friend about the death/disappearance of their best friend. Using the music in this showed the audience how Sitare was feeling as she does not have any dialogue in that particular scene.
We created the titles at the very end because we felt we could only do it after watching the film and getting the entire feel of it.

For the final, final film, i ended up directing and writing up a new script while another girl filmed.
