Group Cut: Rough Cut/ Digipak

 

Over the past week we have been editing our footage as a team in Premiere Elements to there correct timings according to our storyboard. We have completed the majority of our filming and have been able to edit all three scenes of our video into order and construct continuity and montage in various sequences. We have been particularly happy with the shots in which the protagonist is seen twice, this was done by overlaying footage and cropping it in Premiere.

We are missing some footage leading up to the third scene and are currently planning a shoot to fill this gap.

We exported this rough cut in order to gain feedback from our tutors and peers, the majority of our comments were positive as people expressed how they liked various editing techniques such as the whip pan sequence, fast montage editing and the rhythm of our cutting rate in accordance with the music.
However an issue was presented by our tutor in the construction of intended meaning within the video. Our tutor felt that it was not initially clear that the boy and the girl where not really together and that the sequences in which they are with each other are in the protagonists mind.

We have explained that the distance and difference between reality and conceptual sequences would be signified through our colour schemes that have not yet been introduced to the edit. The colour saturation in the reality sequence will connote the loneliness and the use of bright colour grading with portray the conceptual aspects.

We also explained that the particular sequence that has been postponed due to bad weather conditions will strengthen the meaning within the video as it demonstrating them as separated.
