Final Edit

Since looking at the rough edit with Chris there was only a bit of refining to do, maybe add in a few more close ups and adding in a train montage in the middles for an extra break. I took the edit home.
I felt that if I was to add in more close ups i feel as though i would repeat the shots over so haven't added any more in but I did take the advice and added in a few more shots of trains to create the break in the middle. I think this has helped as you hear the narrative say about falling to asleep around 3am twice so gives a little bit more of a break in between this. I reorganised the sound clips so that they were all on the right tracks.
I also decided to colour correct a few of the shots, for example the shot when he grabs the chain was very blue compared to the slightly warmer shots of sitting in the carriage. So I just added some slight orange to the mid and lighter tones so that it matches up better.
Here were some notes I took about the thought on our piece:

  • Really good opening and use of music, the talking could be like 10 frame slater to fit in with the beat of the song
  • If spend more time on it look at 2.48 - thats where the work needs to be done.
  • Also when he say s 3-4 in the morning could be moved 10/12 frames to fit better. 
  • Dont over use the music as it looses power
  • Could have tried the same melody but on a different instrument.
I wasn't too pleased with the final edit I felt like I could have done a lot more to it to make it better, especially the middle section which was pointed out. I did like how the dream sequence came in but I wasn't too keen on the end but there was limited ways to finish it so managed to come up with that. I think what I have learnt is that the use of voice over is hard to use but I think it worked alright in this as I managed to create a story that flowed with it. but as I said in the presentation I just put it together and made it fit following the basic narrative of the script.
