Rough Cut and Feedback

This is the first roughcut we came up with:




We struggled to keep up with the deadline of the roughcut, as in terms of the editing side it was taking a lot longer than we expected. At the same time, we realised that we had to adapt our plan story, as initially we were not sure how to make our initial raw footage become a reality.

The general feedback from this included:

• Introduce the closeup of the eyes first, then present the studio team and title later
• Not enough editing to make it obvious that this has a cyber theme
• Not enough coherence with each of the shots
• What is the plot?

The main issue we had was conveying the plot over to the audience. Our plan did not make any sense, so we had to rearrange the order of the shots
The roughcut also made us realise that the Photoshop images we created did not have coherence, and was too hard to join with the real footage. This is where we made the decision to cut all Photoshop footages and images, except for the back alley shot.

Praew came up with a new storyboard in response to this, which showed our realised vision of how to make what we imagined come out to reality:

 

 We did not create all the shots that we planned out on the storyboard, but the backbones of this gave us a better path in finishing the work.
