Progress Report (Reality Check)

23/03 - We presented what we believed to be our *final* cut of the opening sequence to our production to MC Gab, Jatinder and two members of the 'Dot Com' production. The night before, myself, Kabir n Jas had spent roughly three hours putting it together. We were more then satisfied with what we had produced, so much in fact that I went around the next day boasting to everyone about how *good* it was. Boyyy were we in for a bit of a reality check. To begin with, after watching the sequence, the looks on their faces resembled that of a 'is that it' look. To make it worse, Mr.Bush then began by saying he thought the footage that we had posted on the blog was better (the same footage that was put together in less than half the time it took to put the final cut together).

After their feedback, a few things have evidently become apparent:

1] We've completely underestimated competition. The DotCom production at present looks to be by far outdoing ours.
2] Our lack of committment is costing us.
3] Our production.. It's not rubbish, but nor is it exceptional. Infact, it's far from exceptional.

Our aim is to produce a practical production which will rightly warrant the 'Best Media Practical Production' award. Right now, our footage is not good enough to even pose a threat, but considering the talent we have in our group I'm sure we can put things right =).

Over the course of the weekend and next week, we're going to film some extra footage to replace the shots that are letting us down. Then we'll edit. Then we'll return by the end of the week with a substantially improved opening sequence.
