SECOND CUT
(Tuesday 29th November)
After completing
my first cut, I finally had a chance to film on Wednesday 8th –
managing to combine the two shoots to finish my narrative. I have also had the opportunity for Mike Rymer to look at my work, giving me more ways to improve.

| Logo improvement |
Firstly, I have made a minor change in typography to my logo, changing it to Bebas to look more professional / match the font of my logo.
To add
realism to my film, I have included the sound effect of the brick hitting Adam’s
head, as well as an atmospheric track of city sounds underneath the whole thing,
setting the scene - which I could not get from the mono-directional Rode mic
used for dialogue. I have also purposefully left a silence on my long opening shot
for cinematic effect, choosing not to include my music.
I have also
had to change some of my original dialogue and narrative structure to my
opening two minutes. Due to coverage issues, I did not get the shots I needed
on location to make my story clear. Like Mike suggested, I could have gone back on location with my actors and shot some pick-ups, but this is inconvenient for both me and my actors/crew. Therefore, I have gone slightly astray from
my script, cutting out some dialogue and actions to make the story make sense,
and cut down the length of the film.
Finally, I
have worked on colour correction, as part of my feedback was due to a lack of
light people were losing my story – missing important details such as Adam in
the foreground:
 |
| Before colour correction |
 |
| After colour correction - only a slight difference to make it unnoticeable, but very effective |
Or a close-up of his hands bound:
 |
| Before |
 |
| After - now the audience will be able to see clearly what is in the frame |
This had definitely improved
my film, making my narrative clearer.
