So far in the edit, I have been able to do a rough cut for the Therapy and Theatre scenes. What I have noticed so far during the edit is a lack of varying shot types and angles. For example, there are very few cutaways or establishing shots, which makes creating space or pacing for a scene very difficult. It almost makes the scene very tedious and boring to watch, due to a lack of any real change or variation in angle or positioning. Additionally there are other mistakes made in the production that have a bad effect on the edit. For example, there are takes, especially on Mid-Shots, in which there is clear and obvious shadow in the background behind the character caused by bad lighting. Cropping or Letter-boxing isn’t an effective tool for this and colour correction will only partially help to remove any obvious lighting errors. Feedback was largely negative overall, as there were a lot of problems with the footage. This ranged from poor, wooden performances from actors, as well as uninteresting set design. Additionally I made a mistake in presenting an image only cut, which made it harder to analyse.
Below is a non-audio rough cut of the footage we shot from our first day of shooting.
