...I would drop subtle hints, like a billboard or something like that but you are doing a film about roadkill, chinese food and roadkill, just dont see how Brittany fits in

. Just me.

Anyways your film

here ya go, edit and mix that with the scenes

I have had some people say that the lyrics to Baby One More Time go pretty well with the film such as when Britney says "how was I supposed to know...when something wasn't right"...and also, the music is supposed to be outrageous...and have completely no meaning (except the lyrics that do match up kinda)...such as the mariachi music I have is kinda outrageous but adds to the comedic levels of the film.

ivanb06 · 03-23-2009, 05:36 AM

yeah i wasn't sure what it was about when i saw this.

the britney song didn't help either. it just looked out of place.

unless you make so that they are listening to it. or its coming out of speakers/ someone's car radio.

masoud90 · 03-23-2009, 05:37 AM

Well it's supposed to be the background music from the store...

masoud90 · 03-23-2009, 08:19 AM

So I made some changes (still have Britney though)...and it is definitely clearer of what the story is...unfortunately, I think I will keep the version up now available on youtube since it takes soooo long to upload! Starting next movie I'll upload the very final cut.

Thank you guys SOOO much for your feedback!

I can see what you mean with that. However, perhaps if you did a 'remix' of the song and only played those lyrics at the right time and for the rest of the song just have the background music to it with no lyrics.

Very interesting...overall the final edit worked out great because i added some footage and took out some and managed the audio levels and changed the screaming voice on the phone and it's subtitles and it's a lot more clearer now.

DAROCKNESSMONSTER · 03-23-2009, 06:34 PM

Felt a little strange and disjointed.

masoud90 · 03-23-2009, 06:36 PM

Although the final cut is different, can you explain why you felt that way so it can help me with my future films?

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing it. Make sure that you upload for us to watch. I know it takes awhile to upload to YouTube, but its worth it for the critisism.

masoud90 · 03-23-2009, 07:08 PM

ahhh I wasn't gonna do it!!! but okay i'll do then haha

masoud90 · 03-23-2009, 07:33 PM

Okay...I managed to get to have it at a lower MB size and it uploaded rather quickly on youtube....check out this link (might still be processing, but will be complete in a few minutes)

Thanks for all the feedback...and also this is the final cut as I just handed it in to my professor =)

Much better than the first cut!

My only comment for improvement would be to highlight the restuarant name on the Sales Order and keep it paused on it for a little longer or something. Other than that its like a difference between having nothing and a short film.

Kudos!

jkwest · 03-23-2009, 10:14 PM

I couldn't hear it...

also, thats Arizona...let eat snake all the time there...lol..not too disturbing...

good job, though....better than I could have done. Not a fan of Britney, but, whatever..

Sussudio · 03-24-2009, 03:39 AM

seriously tho...the newer cut does work better. you already know my feelings about the britney usage, but as you said it was already turned in as the final so i'll leave it at that
