The final cut of our film is now here and contains elements changed from the rough cut.
- Due to the loss of raw footage of the ident, we could not change the original. However we all felt that it worked much better at the top left corner as it resembled computer coding.
- We faded the music in at the beginning of the titles, more smoothly.
- We reshot the clock to remove the shakey cam.
- After closely observing the original mirror shots, and then researching this effect from the film Face/Off , we felt that the mirror scene wasn't acurate enough in the framing, and we also added an effect which makes the shot look entirely different. Like in Face/Off it shows adam's mind in a state of confusion e.t.c. See 3.10 for mirror scene.
- We changed the music at 1.54 and turned it's volume down, we also cut out the OTT breathing shot.
- We did a complete overhaul on the next scene, changing the lighting, adjusting the contrast in final cut, make the storyline much easier to follow and added a sound bridge rather than the simple shots of chris and rose talking. The simplification of this scene totally changed the film, the shakey camera also is not present anymore.
- At 3.03 we got rid of the original sound effects of footsteps but instead increased the volume of the track which made a totally realistic sound.
- We decieded to keep the out of focus POV shot at 3.34, the reason behind this was because it show's Chris's haziness and confusion, also the regret for what he has done, blur's his vision which prevents him from working.
- We altered the contrast of the garden scene at 4.17 onwards to compliment the natural lighting of the outdoors.
- We did deliberately knock the camera when Rose dies, this shows an imbalance has been caused at the shake represents an earthquake, and the destruction of a relationship.
- We altered the brightness of the scene where adam crushes the rose so it is much more eaily seen.
- We again changed the freeze frame by altering the brightness so it is much more easily seen.
- We also added the credits at the end to apply to traditional film conventions.
