Second Chance - Rough Cut


After sorting out the files, I went onto to create a rough cut. I would have created an assembly, however I didn't have as much time as I did on the previous project, as I needed a week to edit (and I only got 4 days), and then I needed to give the picture edit to our sound designer so he could sort out the sound on the project.

The rough cut consisted of putting in shots and soundbites I thought would work, as well as following the director's script. Unfortunately for this project, I didn't have access to a storyboard, so needed to improvise on some of the shots and choose which ones I thought worked best, which allowed me to be creative with the piece, but also made me concerned as I didn't really have any guidelines to work with other than written text.

The rough cut was developed quite well. I did request our producer Jessica for some advice because there were some difficulties and changes to footage at some stages, so she advised me on what to use and also looked through my edit with me to see if it worked well from another person's point of view.

Also, our tutor Annie looked at our rough cut, and gave us some good feedback on the footage and edit, and how we could make it work. She liked the corridor scene I'd conducted so far, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to conduct a full edit to show her.

When all the footage and sound bites were in place and approved by both producer and director, I started on the fine cut.
