Today I started the filming on schedule and thankfully it all ran very smoothly. I finished all of the touch up shots and had time to plan how I would present to the audience that the animation begins in Australia and show them the title. Right now I am stuck between two titles, the first is: 'A G'Day to Fly' which hints at the Australian Origins, and the other is: 'Budgie Smuggling' which is where the name comes from, (smuggling birds from Australia). I like both of the titles, I think that Budgie Smuggling will strike audiences much more than A G'Day to Fly. To figure out which one that I should use I plan to ask my peers and test viewers (beta testers) which title they prefer.

I found a way of getting around my problem with people not knowing that it was Australia, I solved it by having the newsreader talk about the local news, which makes it clear to the reader that it is Australia.
As I felt that i did not have much time left to create the newsreader, I made him using a very simple design. I planned on putting him against a green background and them green-screening him against a famous Australian landmark. However the green-screen did not work so I had to resort to masking him, which was very easy as only his mouth moved throughout. I then lip-synced it to the news-report which I had recorded earlier
