Production Diary Entry 5

Editing for Rough Cut

Rough Cut due date: 19th March 2013


What went well

Selection of scene, cutting and piecing together as well as colour enhancing the scenes to emphasize the effect of a flashback.

What might need improving

Selection of shots.

Continuity.

Soundtrack.

Any progression on ideas

The scenes we have to date are to be used as flashbacks that Amelia has when she is writing in the diary.

More shots are needed (to be filmed on Sunday).

1 minute shoot of Bex writing in a diary that will relate to voiceover.

Any changes to schedule

This Sunday we will re-shoot a few scenes to continue with our idea of the flashbacks. We will also do a 1 minute shoot of Bex sat at a desk writing in her diary as we plan to vary the shots of a mid close up of her face and then possibly one over the shoulder so we can see what she is writing. 

How the overall shooting has gone

Overall things are going ok, we just have a few areas to touch up on, especially our continuity but everything is scheduled.

Techniques used when editing 

Transforming the recording to have more of a cinematic 16:9 feel rather than a standard 4:3 video aspect ratio.

Colour correction on the video so that it has a more professional visualisation, although it may not be a natural colour tone it is one that will enhance the shot to collaborate with the mood of the scene and emphasize the idea of a flashback. 

How the editing went. 

So far so good, mainly been exploring Final Cut Pro and all the many things you can do on it.
