Production Diary 9

This is the final production diary entry as we have finished editing the film and it is ready to watch.

We have added the music for the background, we included sound effects, we got some extra footage and removed some unnecessary footage.

The narrations had to be recorded twice in order to flow with the film and to figure out what words would work better

Production Diary - 8

I plan to add the narrations in with the footage this time around and I think we might be able to finish the editing if we're quick.

From what we have now its half done.

We also still need to find background music for it

We also need to add the  titles and credits, and I may try to get one more scene in.

I have probably underestimated some times, but also don’t know what should go next, so feel free to give me some ideas
The shots of putting the costume on could be rearranged if needed

Feel free to add shots if you think of something
