First Cut

First Cut

   

What went well?

In our sequence, we got some good shots that were fluently put together. Our actors and location also suited the part well.  

Problems?

When we had edited our first cut, we found that there were a few problems with out sequence. Firstly, we found that the titles had a few mistakes and went over two shots. We then noticed that two scenes needed re filming as the angles were not suitable and their were also shadows within them that shouldn't have been. We also realised that the music did not suit the sequence, therefore we will change it. As well as this, we noticed that the distribution titles were to fast and that the audience could not read them therefore they nee to be longer. We also have to add in the voice over of the news reporter and add an extra scene to make our sequence longer.  

Plan of Action:

• Remove the word 'starring' from the titles as this is unprofessional.
• Move the titles around so that they do not go over two different shots.
• Add an extra scene of the main character getting ready and leaving his house to add some longer shots so that our titles finish before any dialogue starts.
• Fill in the gap when they move from one location to another by using footsteps.
• Move the title of the film to a wide shot that has a longer duration.
• Record the voice over of the reporter.
• Make the distribution titles longer in duration so that the audience has a chance to read them. 
• Make the titles smaller.

What have I learnt?

When editing our first cut, I found that it is important to ask the opinions of others as you are not always able to spot your own mistakes, which is important if you want to create a great piece.
