First Cut and What Next?

After analysing are first cut with the help of our teachers we have decided to re shoot the large majority of are initial cut. The most fundamental issue that came from out first sequence was the mise-en-scene in the final climatic sequence at came clear that to some viewers it may appear quite random and they could question why things are there. To improve this what we could do is use more fewer props that have a clearer and more relevant meaning to are narrative. Another big problem is regarding sound. The diegetic sound came out really nice in my opinion however the non-diegetic score is something we are still looking for at this current time my group and I haven't been able to do find a viable source that would fit into our sequence. We also had some issues with the camera work on the first tilt we used its a bit wobbly and this is the same on one of our pans. Although these shots help express the idea we want to get across the poor execution makes it look unprofessional. To counteract these we are simply going to have to take more time when re-shooting next time. In terms of editing this is where we believe we have done best. My group and I believe we have created a smooth running sequence that has a good sense of continuity. The only issues that we can really think of is about the transition between looking out the window to showing the lead characters eyes and then cutting back after the flashback sequence which some people saw as a bit confusing.

The final few changes that we are going to make is making our actress look more "drunk" after drinking a bottle of whiskey it looks a bit unrealistic having our character stroll around as if nothing has happened. On the whole we are quite pleased with the way the first cut has come out however there are small changes that in the long run will help produce a far more professional result.
