From undergoing this process many areas were flagged up for improvement.
With this being a very brief rough cut editing was the most reiterated point.
- During the morning sequence when the character awakes and moves over to his wardrobe he lifts up his hand to grab the handle, which is presented in a first person point of view. It then changes to an over the shoulder but as it does so, it cuts back to a part eariler in the sequence. To improve upon this it was brought to my attention that I should either include a fading transition to mask the mistake, or cut down the sequence for it to match. The latter of these being the most likely.
- Secondly during the fight sequence work is needed for the structure of the scene. As he swings for a punch it looks to out of context and fake which isn't the aesthetic I'am looking for. So from feedback I could either speed up the sequence or slow it down, or use a combination of the two throughout. Which when spliced together better, will appear flawless and more professional.
- The final editing hiccup brought to my attention, is near to the end, as the central protagonist runs down the corridor the one of the scenes isn't interlinked well as the character goes from sprinting, to stationary to then running again. Where as it should be one simultaneous clip. So cutting and rearranging will be necessary in this instance.
- A concept for the title sequence was brought to my attention ,which consists of numerous people in white tee shirts, that have the name of my printed upon them.
- Influenced from this I have developed the concept myself. Having the camera zoomed in on the tee shirt with the name of the film upon it. However it zooms out to reveal the central protagonist is wearing the shirt and is in city, this only appears briefly and will then lead onto the opening sequence.
- In terms of the end of the film, it was said that more could be done. Perhaps having the screen go white and then using a voice over, saying what are you doing out here? Or something along those lines. To signify that the person is actually a mental patient.
- After also showing brief footage of a Sun City style effect and saying I planned to use it through out I was advised to concentrate it towards the end. To signify that the central protagonist is in a different world or state of mind.
- On the positive side though the comedic aspects went down well, due to the viewers reactions. However this may be due to they can relate to the cast, so whether is funny to a vast audience will deepened on their personal opinion of comedy.
Creative Arts
- After attending creative arts evening my film went down pretty well, appealing to a large spanning audience, In my opinion I felt this went down so well due to the inclusion of Spider man.
- The soundtrack also went down well and all of my editing effects, which was an excellent example of what Final Cut Express can achieve.
- The writing in certain of the linking scenes could be made more legible, certain words are mispelt and the background noise has'nt all been removed.
- Also more some viewers found the narrative to follow, however this was due to the conditions which the film was played in.
- However there were some improvements that I will aim to include in the time I have left. The main theme was to include some footage of the central protagonist undertaking day to day routines. Such as the protagonist goes to take a drink from a coffee cup, goes for a sip and then realises that he can't drink due to his mask as a restriction. As well as this after asking permission from my local Tesco, I am also going to record the character shopping around the supermarket being oblivious to everyone's reaction.
- Also a voice over will needed to be included at the end of the film to anchor the characters where a bouts, as its not entirely clear.
