Changes in Light of Feedback from Rough Cut

Since we've now finished our rough cut for our title sequence, I've come across a situation were i thought re-filming some shots would make our film better considering the fact that there was hardly any good lighting and camera angles in our rough cut. It isn't the editing skills we need to work on, its the actual filming that would make our rough cut look more professional.

  • One of the first things that we would be changing from our rough cut would be the studios name would be changed instead of being promoted on a simple white handwriting.

  • This shot needs to be changed into a close - up to make the audience have a clear idea of what is needed to be seen and watch for the following scenes interests. The shot would look more dramatic and less simple if it became a close up, it would also have more affect on the audience.

  • This shot looks too bright compared to the other shots so i think we need to saturate the shot and it would make the scene look better, and even effect the whole title sequence if it was a extreme long shot because it would have an effect of point of view shot and creepy due the character being alone in a forest. The dog would be taken out to make the shot look more dramatic and add emotion. This is because with the dog, the audience may feel laid back thinking, the dog would look out and keep the girl away from any how. However, if the dog is out of these shots, the audience are likely to worry more than this shot that is actually in the rough cut. This shot that's in the rough cut so far almost looks as though its just a random scene of a girl walking on some grass around some trees!

  • This shot shows one the one of the two characters in the title sequence which is the fortune teller. In this shot, she gets a scruffy piece of paper and starts writing. The shot just goes on and on, without any movement with the camera, just very little zooming. This shot has to be shortened not to bore the audience with a scene of a women writing for ages - were the audience are not even aware of what is been written.


  • Lastly i think that the forest scenes look abit too light, although the the fortune telling shots are too dark! Even if we didn't want it to match, i think its too light for a thriller movie. I think this shot either needs to be re-filmed at a better location and better lighting, or edited on final cut pro by playing with the levels!
