Film Opening Day 16: Final Piece - Rough Cut
Okay, before we go anywhere further with this blog, I just wanted to let you know that I did this and the rough cut on a school laptop because mine broke. It's got issues with the mainboard and basically it's decided it no longer wants to be a laptop and stopped charging completely. Buying a Macbook Pro Retina 13"... smart move. Buying the first generation? Not so smart.
Right, back to the rough cut.
Now that we have this nice footage and all good, it's time to do the final bit of the project; the editing. From this point on, I'll probably be using "I" more than "we" because I did most of the editing; Ten did the planning and the music, and Pooh did a lot of the camera work and some of the planning, and we all the did location and the organising.
Well, when I say all is as planned I mean most things are going well. So far we're missing:
- A scene for the credits scene
- My laptop *cry*
- ALL THE AUDIO
At this point we still don't have any audio, as Ten is finishing the music, and the audio from the footage had issues (I'll explain this later) so our rough cut will most likely be a silent film.
Summary of rough cut.
What went well:
- The footage was good. Most of the shots were as we wanted, and some even better (what didn't look as good in real life, we decided not to use and found/experimented with shots that worked better).
- We finished on time!
What didn't go well:
- Some of the audio had people talking in it and there were words in there which probably shouldn't be in a film opening. This is most likely because there were a group of teenagers hanging out near our filming area... understandable as this was a public area. This was just the background/white noise though... and I remembered filming the area without the actors before we began filming the actual thing, so I could probably use the audio from that.
- I wasn't allowed to have a tripod out so some of the shots weren't as stable as I hoped.
Summary:
- Silent film done
- Good shots
- Generally pleased
- Here it is.
