Evaluation Of Rough Cut

Evaluation:

What Went Well

After finishing the rough cut of our short film there were a number of parts that went well and a few that need to be improved.
Collectively as a group we all agreed that the order of the shots, of our short film was where we wanted them to be. We also decided that the storyline was clear through the use of our shots and the audience were very clear on what was happening. The sound of our rough cut was quite good in terms of the running shots and being able to hear the robbers footsteps clearly. However we decided to exemplify this even further at a later stage in the editing process by adding sounds such as running, heavy breathing, and police sirens to our short film.

Improvements that need to be made
In terms of improving our rough cut although the shots we wanted were in the correct order the quality of the camera work used throughout our blog post was quite poor. For example there was a lot of shakiness in the camera, parts of the shot were being cut off for example the subjects feet or head and also the improper use of zoom throughout needed to be changed. This was because it caused the finish of our film to look unprofessional and amateur.
As a way to improve on this we decided to book the camera equipment out for the first weekend back after the holidays during which we would use the time reshoot many if not all of the shots that made up our short film. Particularly focusing on improving our camera work and making our film just look more professional and sophisticated holistically.

As a whole I am very pleased with what our group has produced do far for our rough cut however I do feel that once we have the opportunity to reshoot particular shots it will improve our work even more.
