Final cut

Here is the final cut of my coursework.

Audience feedback of rough cut

The audience feedback of my rough cut was fairly positive. Everyone understood the concept and storyline, and quite a few people commented on how the narration and pace of the film reflected that. People also seemed to like how the editing was in time with the voice over - since it's only a rough cut, things weren't spot on, and I am going to go back and change the length of some of the shots and the timing of the narration in relation to that, but I am pleased that people seemed to pick up on the fact that it was meant to be in time anyway.

The main criticism I received was the stability of some of the shots - a lot of people suggested using the warp stabilizer effect on one shot (the one in the car) in particular. Some people also said they didn't like the shot at the end with him walking up the stairs, as it lasts quite a long time with no visual breaks, and so can get a bit boring. Another thing a few people commented on was the establishing shot of the train station - they said the ending of it, where it stops on the platform, was a bit too long.

Here are are some pictures of a few pieces of audience feedback I received.

Images whilst filming

This is the suction tripod set up on the bonnet of the car. I will use this to get the shot of my main character driving in the car - the 'left, right, left' part.

This is an interior shot of the camera set up as mentioned above.

















This is a shot of the train station, where the majority of my filming took place.

 Below are pictures of a couple of pages from my script. I printed it off and took it with me to on set as it is essentially a shot list, and it helped me stick to getting exactly what I knew I needed, and not going off track (before I had gotten the shots essential to making the storyline work) to get things I hadn't planned.


















This is my make-shift boom pole. I took it outside in my garden to get some ambient sounds for the scenes that were outdoors.
