1st Cut
There were many things that we disliked with our first cut. The first being some of the starting tool shots being a bit too out of focus, although we said that we wanted them to be out of focus some are too much out of focus and ruin the effect we wanted, so we knew that this is something we wanted to change.Another thing we had to change was the time length on the roles of each of us as they were too short,also the fong for each of these was wrong and we knew we would have to change them. The next thing we disliked about this first cut was how it suddenly get louder at 0:26 seconds, from the start its quiet and then the sound comes in and it didn't sound right, again this is something we knew we had to change. We very much liked the POV shots from the girl, as it shows well how she is drugged and cant really see what is happening, I especially like the one at 0:36 seconds where she can just see the head of the doctor but not clearly enough to see his face due to the drugs. This was the effect we were going for and we were all really pleased with this shot. At 0:54 there is a problem with her breathing as it overlap and you can hear it twice, another problem with the sound that we would have to fix in our next cut, furthermore at 0:59 the girls line 'What are you going to do to me' gets cut a bit short when the shot changes to her dress being cut and again the sound levels drop in this scene. At 1:13 the music starts but it comes on quite loud and takes the suspense away all through till the end. We discussed this and decided this would be a key issue we would have to go back on in our next cut. Also our cuts at the end were too long and therefore didn't add any suspense
2nd Cut
We were much happier with this cut then we were with our first. we had added in music in the begging to stop the big sound jump that was discussed in our first cut section above. There were still some issues with shots going from one to another and sound being cut out and layered over the top that is quiet easy to here. We changed our font and length of time on our tittle which make it look so much better than just a normal font. Although the sound is bliping throughout we couldn't do anything about this as it was the software we used and to transport it. Sound was a key issues running throughout our 1st and 2nd cut they we had major difficulty with at the moment our sound was very much chopped and moved all over the place which made it sound overlapping. to sort this out in our final cut we eventually had to remove all sound and dialogue and replace it back in to the right place so that we had 3 lines of sound : 1 for dialogue 1 for back ground noises in the garage and 1 for music, this cleaned things up and made it sound much better in our final cut
Below is a drawing used to explain our sound in our 1st and 2 nd cut, and then the one on the right is what it looks like in our final cut.
Final Cut
On or Final cut, like explained above, we had to remove all of our sound and re build it into 3 separate layers to make sure we didn't have any over lap. we also colour graded our final piece and letter boxed it to give it the more filmic view, we managed to sort out the key issues from our 1st and 2nd cut which we were really pleased about. Unfortunately the blipping is still noticeable in the music , however again there was nothing we could do about this as the software we used created this after we transported it and uploaded it to final cut pro.
Overall i am very pleased with my team The Dreggs production in our team work and our skills to make such a promising film opening that we are very proud off. There were some issues along the way but we manged to pull together and overcome these problems.
