Further to our conversation in class yesterday, action points to take forward from the rough cut to final cut include (you may have been working on some of these points already since we talked about them):

- Edit your sequence so that the total running time is approximately 2 minutes

- Replace the brief segment of non-diegetic sound (the Lady Gaga track) with music you have created using Garageband.

- Ensure that your use of a pre-existing music track is only for diegetic purposes and segments (namely the party scene), which you are basically doing already, but given that the music is diegetic, the fade out when you cut to the exterior of the house is probably inappropriate and in that context would work better as a straight cut.

- Add titles (credits and the name of your film) to the sequence. Remember to make it look like an opening sequence.
