Software usage: final draft Writer App

Whilst working on the film I was introduced to an App called final draft writer. This app enabled me to write scripts on my Ipad wherever I was and also meant that I could have it on both my Iphone and Ipad simultaneously. The app was easy and effective to use and gave me the ability to send the script to my actors in a PDF format.

Production Log: editing

The music for the film is finally completed and fits with the film. If the film undergoes any further editing then the song may have to alter but I believe that the main structure of the piece isn't going to alter.
My biggest concern is still the voices for the final scene of the film. The noise created in the background is an issue for me as it stands out against the rest of the film as I have correctly recorded those sections. My play was to record them speaking externally but this is proving difficult to sync.
