ROUGH CUT 1: Full Vid

...


...

Above is the first full rough cut with the narrative and performance combined.

There are no visual effects as of yet but these will be improved.

Edited by CS

What needs to be changed:

  • Colour correction on a few clips
  • 1:00 - 1:09 the background two performers arent playing 
  • shot at 1:21 is too quick
  • 1:50 odd framing with a tree in top left
  • 1:51 CU of push
  • Clip at 2:02 needs to be replaced
  • Stabilization in a few shaky clips
  • Maybe add some greenscreen effect at 3:20
  • Have some greenscreen footage added in narrative in some places
  • Reshoot graveyard scene
    • Avoid shooting the text on them
