Rough Cut Evaluation
The first thing that we did in our creative process is, once digitised we looked throw our footage and logged all the different shots that we took from the shoot day, in to different folders so that we would be able to edit easily and quickly. Learning to sync the music to the video was a hard process but once we found a good way of doing it we went threw quite quickly.
We have tried to create a piece that gives the feels of panic and frustration using quick cuts on the beat and changing the shot type often has helped give this feel to the rough cut. The story board resembles almost nothing of our rough cut because of the different shots we had taken on shot day the changes we made have been down to the material that we got and also due to the ill prepared manner of our group some things have just been done because of time saving. I think the strengths of the rough cut are that we have used a varied shot length we have cut well to the beat and used the markers in final cut to our advantage to give this clean cutting look. It lacks excitement and panache which I fear will never happen due to our lack of progress. People have said that they like I but it needs something else, which I completely understand because I am in complete agreement with what they have said once after affects is out in though I am still worried that it wont be any better than it already is which isn’t much in retrospect. We still need to do a lot of cleaning up with it because a lot of the shots are still boring out of sync and time and we need, if we want it to be good, to make a big change to this and work hard on refining the good ideas we have at the moment and pushing them threw more than we have been doing. Other videos which have influenced us have been many other Rhiannon and beonceye videos witch involve the one artist focus much like ours and so we looked at them to see how they cut it and in what way they try to use editing to solve problems of bad shots perhaps or this witch just need to cut around. We also looked at other pop videos which incorporate the same idea as us so we can see how It is done. We still have to do our entire after effects portion of the video witch we are ready to do but haven’t even started yet and the idea that we originally had has been abandoned so we have a lot of work to do in that of finding the shots that we will use for the new idea but I have a feeling that it will work.
In after effects we need to establish what parts of the blue screen we need to do also what will go on them and finally we need to resolve a blue wall we at the moment have in our video which has nothing to go on It at the moment.
