Close To Locking

For the last few weeks I've been showing my movie to friends, family, and faculty. I've gotten plenty of feedback, mostly good. I showed a cut of the movie to the class I'm a teachers assistant for. This enabled me to get responses from a group of people that had no idea what the movie was about. Showing it to this fresh audience was really helpful. There were things that people enjoyed and laughed at, and there were parts that were meant to be meaningful or funny and totally did not come across that way.

So my schedule says I should be picture locked my December 5th. This means I stop editing and start working on sound, music, titles, etc. I think this is a doable thing. I have to show the movie to about 3 faculty members at USC. This is a requirement. I think it's a good idea because these people have seen hundreds of short films so they know how to make a short story work in a short amount of time.

So the movie is going well. I'm really happy with how it's looking. I am nervous about starting to work on Music because all of the temporary music I've tried to put in hasn't really fit. But my mentor at school says I have to keep looking and trying new stuff. So I will.
