Rough Cut 2

With the help of our teachers my group and I sat down to review our progress so far.




Firstly, it was decided that our first minute was really good and the music we've chosen to use fits very well and helps to create the lonely, isolated, and sad atmosphere we wished to create. This has been achieved through the use of our establishing shots of the protagonist by herself looking out of a window providing a reminiscent mood which then leads on nicely to the flashback. We are extremely pleased with our flashback and believe we have shot and edited it into our piece effectively through the fade into the white screen and back into the action. 

However, to improve our second half it was suggested that we filmed more of the flashback and intercut that between some of the protagonists action in order to help move the narrative forward and represent the girls innocence. Furthermore, we thought as well as filming some more of the flashback, we could record what the young girl says and possibly use the dialogue as a voice over to parts of the action too. This would help reinforce the juxtaposition between her younger self, and herself now and make it clearer to the audience how her childhood has affected her. As well as this it shall provide some variance in the action so it's not too similar. In addition, our titles need to be finalised and we need to decide which font we want to use and where each of them shall be placed.

What we need to do:

  • Finish the titles (font, colour, placement)
  • Complete further filming of the flashback scene
  • Make final changes/adjustments to the music
  • Adjust the sound levels
Overall, as a group we are content with our progress and our second rough cut and plan to do whatever we can to make it even better. Therefore, we have each given eachother roles to complete by next Monday (18th) in order to make sure we will complete the project in time to meet the upcoming deadline.
