New Rough Cut

After re-shooting our footage, we have done a new edit of 'The Black Widow'. The only thing that needs to be done now is the ident and the film title that are currently in production. But here is the new rough cut of our film, by Charlotte and I. 

Actor Release Forms

As part of the process our actors must sign a form so we have creative use of their identitties. Here is what they sign for, and if they're under 18 their parents.

Our actors Ryan Bickley (Aged 18) and Ryma Picken (Aged 16) have signed their forms and Ryma with parents permission to follow the terms and conditions:

Original Final Cut

After our feedback, we worked out some kinks in our film and editing. However, two of our group were still not happy with the film (Charlotte and I) so this is our original final cut that Robbie will use as his final film. However Charlotte and I will be posting a second final cut that we will use for our final mark.

Target Audience Feedback and Review

Our target audience we have a range between 17-24 from the feedback we gathered some points that stuck out were:

• Shot of the stones is too long. We get that it is stones and I can hear you have included a SFX but simply pause then within a second Ryma steps in, would be more effective. 

• Almost a jump shot to when the hockey stick is introduced. Feet seem to be in a different position and the cut alludes and tracts attention towards the error.

• 0.35- shadow on the wall. Although not a vital importance, this could also show lack of 3 point lighting technique. Obviously going to be some shadow from normal lighting but this is too much. 
• Phone call SFX- Volume is too loud doesn't sound like a mobile phone. 

• Cut Alex during phone call is too quick. Change cut. 

• When Ryma picks up the teddy to be-head it, we lose the top of the teddys head in the frame. We partially miss the point of focus on the teddy. (i.e. to pull its head off), because of the framing. 

• 1.10 Jump MOA. Alex walking throughout he door, is not smooth. 

• Voice over doesn't mae sense. it is too much like he is actually talking and his lips are just not moving. You need to add effects to the voice ego try and convince us that it is a voice over. 

• Looks as if alex is speaking when he is in Ryma's room, but unsure whether it is the voiceover or alex actually speaking aloud. His lips don't move then they do a little bit- IT"S CONFUSING!"

• Alex picks up the picture of him and Ryma, don't pan to the picture.

Some of the feedback we received, we cannot re-do like (e.g the re-filming) due to our actor not being available to re-film. However over the past few days we've been working on the sound, re-colouring and re-edit of the film. Hopefully it will all work out and be worth it.

Rough Cut

After three weeks of intensive filming and editing we have a rough cut of our film. Alot of hard work has gone into the filming process to get a rough cut done:

We also got some people of our target audience to assess the film and give feedback:

Hopefully the feedback that we have received, will help us create the perfect final cut for our film. Helping us achieve what we want to achieve in our coursework.
