Today we completed our first rough cut of our film. After uploading all of our footage, we watched through all the shots we had taken and then cut out the bits that we thought really worked and pieced them together along with the rest of the footage we already had. Whilst doing this we realised that we needed to film a couple more shots and some of the scenes we shot on Sunday didn't quite work and didn't really fit the continuity of the rest of the sequence, for example, the final shot of Jasper and Ally walking into the court has to be reshot as we realised the mum and the lawyer just completely disappear!
However, we were really proud of our flashbacks and spent a lot of time editing them to create the effect we wanted. First we put an effect called 'dream' over all the shots which made it clear that it wasn't part of the modern day sequence and to make it clear that it was a flashback. We then added flash transitions to make it speedy and quite panicky as well as playing around with the speeds of the shots to make it quite stressful and jumpy to make it seem like a distressing memory. Tomorrow we are going to look through some more sound effects websites to find a 'whooshing' sound to go with the flashes to make it even clearer what is going on as we noticed the second sequence of flashbacks is less clear because it is a slower paced sequence and less stressful for the audience. We're also going to play around with the order of the driving sequences of Jasper and Ally as at the moment its quite repetitive and needs a clearer shape to it.
