Finishing of My Name Is John

My name is John was pretty much finished for the group crit we had a few weeks ago, though i have made some changes to the film since then, I have added a title to the film that appears when we first see the self help group it fades in and then fades out again before john stands up, i have also added credits to the film i already had my actors credits sorted, so i did the default scrolling text for the crew and any special thanks we had, these are good as well as it allows the song at the end to continue.

Another big change is that i finally managed to cut down the pub scene to do this i cut about half the dialogue ad then sent out my camera operator to get some cut aways from inside the pub, unfortunately only one of these was usable as the rest where rather two boring or the lighting just didn't match. I only needed two though and i was able to use one that we had got on the original shoot so it was all good.

 This was the only one i saw that was usable.

Some much smaller changes are the removal of the audience cutaway before the interview with john, i did try different places for this shot, but non seemed to work so i completely cut it and dragged the audio from johns interview over to the pub scene, so that the to scene blend together better, my director watched this change and saw why i did it and was fine with its removal. I have also added an small ouch i the background for when john drops the bowling ball, and after weeks of arguing that this wast going to work i am glad to say i was wrong and me and my director managed to find a noise that worked but wasn't too over the top.

This is the film we handed in i have a full evaluation in my evaluation, but overall i am very happy with how this film turned out and even if it isn't laugh out loud funny i am glad to see we at least have some funny moments in there, saying how hard comedy is to right.
