Group: Rough Cut #2 / Update 5-12-13

JP: We managed to do some more filming today and we are hoping that this will be the last time we need to film. Our plan was to re-shoot  the establishing shot on the roof as our original footage was a little bumpy and film some more footage of Chris in the location for the ending. We are going to edit the urban footage at the end so that Chris is in colour and the background is grey as we believe it will help to develop the narrative better and create more of a connection between the locations. We think this will help pull together the video as a whole.


LB: Today we filmed again in the morning, we planned for this to be our last shoot. We had planned to re-film the first shot of Chris looking over the city, as last time this shot has a bumpy pan. We also planned to film some new new different shots for our urban location, this included shots of Chris walking and standing looking upset in a mid-shot like our woodland footage.


Shot of Chris in Urban Location


As well as filming we have made another rough cut to see what we have left to do, most of the gaps have been filled since last time only leaving about 15 seconds, however there is a section that may be altered. All that remains now is that there are many shots of Chris in the woods that need to be put through After effects and put into Black and White using the 'Roto brush' Also making the final segment complete with cut down shots that go in time with the track.

Since last time there has been a big change, the opening sequence has been filmed and almost cut down properly, this section has also been put it and Black & White this makes the small narrative of colour complete.

1.Location and Chris in B&W = negative, washed out, upset
2. Woodland location = colour, nice place, exciting / Chris = B&W, upset
3.Chris changes when in woods, location = B&W / Chris = Colour

This whole colour idea has come instead of changing the feel of our video but reinforcing the brought up problem we faced off Chris showing no emotion. We have also changed the order of some of the shots, instead of going straight into our shots of characters when Chris first arrives. The video has come a long way in the last week, but we still have a lot of work to do before we have a finished video.

Things noticed After we watched rough cut:


  • First shots - Not certain if these go here, need Bastille font to appear
  • 0:21 - Random Cut of shot not needed
  • 0:44 - This paint shot needs to be one rendered from After Effects (Shot is really jumpy)
  • 0:52 - 1:00 - Not certain on theses shots, may be changed (too jumpy)
  • 1:54 - 2:03 - This is where the footage is rewound fast
  • (Last segment) - Needs to be fully edited
