Rough cut. Miss Miller
Above is the link to our thriller film.
A rough cut is important to consider as it gives you an overview of the plot and the narrative of our Thriller film. The rough cut is an idea of the plot and gives you a clear visual view of everything that will happen or everything that was filmed in context. The rough cut can or cannot be changed in terms of the film itself however sounds, transitions and credits can be modified.
We are able to collect positive and constructive feedback from showing our thriller film to a small audience. Feedback is important as it allows us to see or pick up on things our group didn't notice and feedback can help us improve problems with editing or narrative. The audience can also see our techniques used in filming and our inspirations used via our presentation we showed before the film. By doing this they may be able to tell us how to elaborate on our points to allow us to really connect with the audience at a greater depth or entice the audience to greater suspense or shock.
We presented the film through you tube and our audience wrote our feedback on forms which included the columns: 'what went well', 'improvements' and 'questions'. We then received these sheets back from our peers and we were able to see what they thought. The feedback mainly contained these constructive points:
.A bit to much dialogue
.Camera is shaky at some points
.Editing at final piece needs to be smother
.Credits could be improved
.Use a knife not scissors
.Not sure on the black and white effect
These also came with good points however here I am only looking to improve my thriller to make it even better. Our group can now take these points and try to build on them or change them to the best of our ability. Improvements we are making straight away will be the editing at the end as we may add a transition in and the font styles and credits were rushed so this extra time before our final piece will be used finalising our credits and font styles to how we like it.

This is a very basic explanation of why we have rough cuts and feedback.
ReplyDeleteYou need to:
1) Explain in depth the importance of having rough cuts and getting feedback on them
2) Elaborate on your feedback from other people and explain how you will make changes and why, for each point made
3) Include a summary explaining whether or not you found this useful, how it has helped you with improving your sequence and what you will change as a result
