final shooting

I have finished the shooting of my trailer. This was completed when we shot the final sequences at night that show my main character entering the base. We decided to change several scenes here, as the ideas for scenes that i had originally would have made the trailer too slow. This would have been a major problem for viewers, as action movies tend to excite the viewer, so having a slow and boring trailer would have done exactly the opposite. Disguising our Media studies classroom as the villains lair was also a challenging endeavour, but this was accomplished y typing a massive ream of nonsense into PowerPoint. this may seem silly and pointless, but when the presentation was run on the large monitor that is in our classroom and the lights were switched off, the monitor looked much more convincing in its role as a computer that cold bring down the national grid! the green ambient light that this monitor gave off also helped my trailer, as it increased the threatening connotations that made the scene realistic.

No problem with the content here, Jack, but the huge number of typos and spelling mistakes make it almost impossible to follow.

A suggestion: why don't you draft your updates in Word and spell-check them? Then cut and paste into the Blogger posting window. It would give you more control over the process.
