Rough Cut for Flame Faery

L3 - GROUP 6 (Sophie & Charna) Film Opening Rough Cut from cmdiploma on Vimeo.



This is mine and Sophie's rough cut for our film opening. We have recently gotten feedback from a teacher (Steve) and a fellow student (Jahmal).

Steve told us to take out the dialogue originally, so we did. I then went out to fire troupe and filmed them at their practice session. In total I got about 30 minutes of footage. We have started to take the clips from there which we want. I think we should have the scene with Ali walking down the path and seeing the faery before the random shots of fire, as this will set the scene in a less abstract way. I'll also add in the faeries and we should make Sophie's music (The happier sounding one at the beginning and end of the rough cut) longer throughout the music.

1. What did people rate as strengths of the work?
Variety of camera angles, the colours, titles and how it keeps the audience's attention.
2. What did people rate as weaknesses?
The music was the main thing people didn't like, it jumped a lot. There should be more camera shots towards the end and they need something to understand the plot.
3. What do you intend to change?
Add faeries into flames, Sophie's music continually no jumping. Get some close-ups. See what the trails effect works out as in Final cut and perhaps add some of the dialogue again.
4. what is still to be done? e.g. titles, sound, visuals
Just the stuff we intend to change.
