Our rough cut

By completing a rough cut of our final opening sequence we were able to identify any areas in the film that didn't work as well. The film does not include all of the audio or music we intend to use and is by no means finished as both the audio and footage do not correspond and some scenes have since been altered. However my initial reaction was the 'dripping tap" sound effect that I don't think works at all with the footage we filmed. The concept of this in our planning stage seemed like a good idea but in practise, clearly does not work. Other audio failures involved the lack of diagetic sound from the footsteps of our characters walking past the camera and the door slamming. There is also a lack of dialogue sound when characters are speaking. This is something I will have to focus on in the editing, meaning I will have to re-import the video with the attached audio file and "unclip" them using premiere pro's panel. I will also need to adjust the lighting under the "effects" preset to enhance the colour correction and brightness of the image. I also realised how some of the footage was a little shaky such as the skylight scene which will be easily corrected using the "stabiliser" tool. This feature detects anomalies of areas of fractal noise or unsteadiness and removes/adjust's it accordingly. I wanted to leave this effect until I export it as it takes considerable time and takes more memory on the school computers.
Ultimately, I feel I have made good progress with the footage so far and am keen to develop it. By creating a rough cut I was able to witness areas that could be improved upon from the perspective of the audience. I will now upload this to youtube to exhibit the footage and receive feedback regarding how I could improve it.
