Planning: Production meeting - 28/3/12

As it stands, our film is almost complete. All the footage has been filmed and edited, and our film is currently at the length of 1min 30secs. There is a small possibility we may have to obtain some more footage to increase the duration.
The main thing we still need to do is music. We have a number of ideas but we are yet to make a final decision. These ideas are:
  • Jazz
  • Strings/classical
  • Pop (our suggestion is ABBA - The Winner Takes It All as the lyrics match the synopsis and content of our film). If we were to use this however, we would break the conventions of a film noir quite explicitly, and we are not sure whether we want to do this.
We have listened to examples of the two instrumental suggestions, but have yet to find a suitable piece. We are also undecided as to whether we want the music played independently or through a radio.

The plan for today is to show our OTS to teachers and get their feedback. We can then make any appropriate changes. The next step will be to create a survey through Survey Monkey to generate even more reactions, and know what improvements to make.
