This is the first rough cut to our thriller opening.
Audience reaction:
- They liked how the colours and lights looked in the street, and that it aqppeared to be very cinematic
- They enjoyed the shallow depth of field the lense provided (Canon 550D with an F1.4 lense created this effect)
- The flashbacks were constructed well as it was clear that it was an event in the past.
- They suggested the first soundtrack should continue through the first flashback else it becomes anti-climactic and jolted.
- instead of the hump cut back to the present it should be edited so that the hand comes into the frame as the other leaves, else it also looks too jolted.
- The editing is slightly unclear due to sound, but as it was unfinished this didn't help- we think that with the voicemail and the finished edited sound will make it easier to understand.
What we are aiming to improve/finish:
- Add filter on golden hour flashback so the colours are richer and warmer
- Clear up diegetic sound at the end: at the moment we only have the sound on the film the had been recorded on he camera not the microphone
- Sort out the ending- with diegetic sound of the voicemail to fit the visuals
- Play around with sound levels to build tension at the appropriate times
- Finish and import the ident
- Add graphics and end title
