rough edit 4

Now music had been added to it. When choosing the music i was advised to listen to the Boogie night soundtrack. On that i did find some good music, including magnet and steel and also jungle fever. I decided to carry on and research more soundtracks on film, the main priority being comedy films. I came across the full monty soundtrack and remember the song "hot stuff" which would be very fitting for the promo. I cut down the track to give it a feel of how i wanted it to sound.

The next job would be make the curtains look more professionally and to smooth out the edit.

I also still need to think about the final shot. Another thing is i feel that a few more quick cut aways need to be added.

rough edit 3

Now more of the colour had been added to the promo. The colours changed was the hoover from red to purple. Also the curtains changed to purple but these needed to been done more professionally. The edit was looking well but now it needed music

rough cut 2

(edit1) this edit was much better with the text. The that was used was American typewriter as this is the closest much to the e4 type. The text gave it more of a fun feel to the promo.

The edit was looking much better but it still needed more emphasis on the e4 branding

Rough cut 1 pro

The filming was very well lit and the shots could be used in the final piece, they did not need to be re filmed.

The basic narration was good, the message was clear and got the point i wanted to make

Rough cut 1 con

The first con i discovered was the opening. There was no build up to it, it was straight into main joke. There needed to be an establishing shot of it.

The second con was the font and colour. The font did not look correct atotal. The font actually gave the feel that the video was more creepy and a little perverse. This is not the tone I wanted to go for. It needed to be fun and interesting.

Another there wasn't much to give it an e4 feel. I needed to use more purple in the shot to keep true with the e4 branding

Finally the promo needed a good end shot.
