First Cut- Week Commencing 10/11/14

First Cut


This is our first cut for our film. All we have done so far is put the clips that we are going to use in order and edited them to the speed and cut we want them. We still need to change the effects and lighting as we want the scene to have low key lighting as that is a typical convention of a thriller. Also we need to add sound. When we filmed there was noises in the background of us talking etc so we are going to add noises such as loud footsteps to when the villain is walking down the corridor. Furthermore we are going to record sounds of trees rustling and the victim screaming and shouting to go over the top of the action as if the victim is having flashbacks of what happened. We may use some music but we do not want the scene to look like a trailer. We are going to use transitions too, to make the film run more smoothly.



Feedback from Miss Spencer:

• add logo to the beginning
• add interesting flash transitions
• sort of the sound: add an indoor wildtrack, footsteps on hard floor, finger tapping, screams, trees, heartbeat, voiceover, police interview and rights
• colour correction- make it richer
• cut out slow mo of girl
• water cut needs fixing
• cut the window shot, make it shorter or add a voice over there
• add an end title

Feedback from peer:

• good us of camera movement shots (close ups and panning)
• good choice of setting, made it believeable to where it is
• the makeup is really well done
• slow motion at the beginning was great
