Analysis of Rough Cut

After viewing my rough cut I have come to the conclusion that it is not very well made and could be done better.

Pros

Good Editing

Some Good Shots

Good Music Choice

Cons

Rushed

Generic Story

Not Enough Footage

Too Short

Filmed at school

After seeing the audience feedback I have decided that I am going to completely redo my film with a completely new story. This is not too bad as I did not film too much of this film so not much would be lost.

Editing 2

In this editing session I added all the footage from my new film also I:

• Edited together the footage to make the scenes smoothly transition together
• Added Music to increase the tension for my film
• Chose which scenes I wanted to add to the film
• Added Sound Effects to fit the scenes
• Changed the colour grading and the colour correction to make the film appear more bleak and depressing to fit into the film
• Added the titles to the film

Filming 3

In this filming session we went to a new filming area to start our new film: the forest. We spent 5 hours there so we could film our entire film. There were some nice shot we got and it was an interesting environment. However it did start to rain near the end of our session so the next time we film we need to check the weather before hand.

Editing 1

Today I edited 20 seconds of my film, I had to edit scenes of me running at different angles to make it look like one smooth motion. I also added some effects to make my footage look more cinematic and a soundtrack to improve the atmosphere.

Filming 2

In the second day of filming we managed to complete our chase scene. In this we included a variety of shots including a POV, mid shot and a close-up. We also included many sounds including off screen and on screen and afterward some non-diegetic sounds. We also including a match-on action and graphic match. However when editing we discovered that some of our shots did not move smoothly into each other and saw numerous over minor mistakes with our filming and so we will have to re-film those shots at a later date.

Filming 1

In the first filming day we filmed the start of the chase scene. Next time we need to make sure we have more time because we did not manage to film enough. We also need to make sure we have all the necessary equipment at the start next time as we forgot we needed the Dolly and had to get someone to get it which took up more time.
