Thus far with the project Tammy and I are working on, is going extremely well. We both have contributed to the actually filming for the project. In the classroom, editing and piecing together our sub-clips, we both have taken turns working the mouse. Although we went with Tammy's idea in the beginning, both of us have contributed different ideas that we thought would improve the project. We have been working together extremely well, and that camaraderie has really turned this project that we are both proud of and excited to show.
The concept of our film is the fast food environment. We decided to drive around off campus and capture footage of actual fast food restaurants, getting film of inside fast food restaurants and of menus, drive-ins, and various other things. We came up with the idea instead of having the ending be sad and showing a graveyard, we changed the ending to show the alternative to eating in fast food restaurants, the healthy side. So we showed clips of exercise equipment and healthy eating places to end the film with. The music that we added, one being a ridiculous and obnoxious song about different fast food places, and the other is the theme song to the show Biggest Loser to go along with the healthy section; this music really took our project to the next level.
Speaking of the musical aspect of our video, this is where we found the most difficult of our project to be at. We found this videos on Youtube, but then had to convert them to mp3's so that we could download and import the songs into Final Cut Pro. We decided that by just combining two different songs to our video it would sound better than all of our laughing and talking while we were filming. However we were unsure of what website and how to convert these videos so that they could be imported. We finally figured it out and cut down the songs to the parts that we wanted and the short film really came together nicely!
