R&P Post 19: Our Rough Cut

The rough cut was very useful and helped us realize any continuity errors and jump cuts. By creating the rough cut on the same software we used for our animatic it made it very quick and easy to compare and was helpful as this would be the software we planned on using for our final edit.

To create our rough cut..
1) We will view all our rushes and select the best shots
2) We will then place them in a separate folder to make it convenient when we have to edit
3) We will then cut the shots and add them to the timeline (referring back tot he animatic)
4) We will then add all the different components such as the music and dialogue
5) Once all of the above is completed we will be able to add titles


Corrections we needed to make and how we plan to do so:
- We had a lighting problem so we spoke to our technician about it and he helped us by doing a demo with us in our media lesson.
- We were able to add and delete any shots that were missing or did not fit with our sequence before shooting our main sequence.
- We were able to change shots and the angle/positions we filmed from so that they did not break the 30 degree or 180 degree rule.
- Keep shots tight and the character always as the central image in the shots that focus on her as opposed to having a lot of space around her in the framing of the shots.
- Film shots as one whole shot rather than cutting it up as this caused jump cuts.
