Changes to Rough Cut
We got 28/60 for our rough cut of our thriller so we had a lot of changes to make to increase our mark.
Our rough cut:
The feedback we got from our rough cut that the visual continuity was good but the sound continuity was failing. The real sound we had also clashed with the sound effects as it was overpowering due to the noise in the background of other cars. We were told to scrap the real sounds completely and only use sound effects which proved difficult as there was a limited amount available to us. Adding these sound effects will create a more realistic scene as they are all the ‘little’ noises that people rarely actually notice but make a huge difference in the overall production.
Another criticism was how bad the titles were. They offered no relationship to the thriller in their font, colour or size so we decided to completely remake the title sequence.
We also decided to extend the time of our initial title sequence as our thriller currently did not meet the minimum time limit. Instead of re-filming to extend the time, lengthening our title’s was the most applicable option in our case.
We will try to extend the title’s to roughly 25 seconds. We will animate them and add digetic to make the 25 seconds not look extended just to make the time limit. We will have them introduced before any footage is shown to set the scene and give the audience an inkling of what is going to happen.
Overall we do not have much to change and should not take more than a few hours to complete.
