R+P Post 19: Our Rough Cut

After we got all the footage required from our test shoot, we began editing our rushes together in the edit suite. We started by renaming the clips with shot numbers to correlate to our shootboard shot numbers and then we put them in sequence. We also had to go online and find the production and distribution clips so that we could add them in at the beginning. We then added in our sound track and sound effects at the end to complete our rough cut.

After watching it back, we noticed many errors that we had made and what could be changed to make it better, with some of the errors being that we broke the 180 degree and 30 degree rules. The main thing we realised is that we need a lot more shots to really create the fast pace and party atmosphere, so we will take more shots in our main shoot. We then made a list of all the things that need to be changed or added and we will bring it with us to the main shoot to ensure we follow through with all the things on the list.
