Second Rough Cut

Rough cut 2 from Beth Cooper on Vimeo.

Changes made:


We have added shots of mise en scene to the opening which was previously blank as this was missing. This includes shots of bottles and cigarettes which are typical of house parties and youth image.

We re shot the scene of Callum dressing, so that there is continuity with the T-Shirt he wears.
One problem with this footage is that it is a little dark.

We filmed the scene in which Callum goes to the fridge again.
The problems with the editing of this is that some of the takes are too long and also he looks into the camera a little at one point, although he does this in sections of lip syncing so this isn't a major problem. With music video there aren't clear cut conventions about breaking the 4th wall.

We re shot the scene in which Callum goes to leave the house, in order to maintain continuity as in the previous shot he had a cigarette in his mouth, whereas in our original filming of that scene he did not.

We have filmed the car scenes again, in which Callum and Simon both lip sync. We added these after gaining audience feedback, as our audiences said they liked the rough footage we took of the lip syncing in the car and wanted to see more of that. One problem with this scene in this edit of our video is the lack of shot variety, in the next edit we do we will add more shots from different angles within the car.

We have added the characters' arrival at the party which was missing from our original rough cut. There is a slight glitch in this editing, which we will sim to remove with the next edit of the video.

From our audience feedback we were told that the transition between the kitchen scene and the rave scene wasn't very good, we have added in a fade to try and improve this although were still not entirely happy with this so again we will aim to make further improvements.

Finally, we added shots to the rave scene which was originally all fish eye lens shots, it now contains some of the HD footage. The section which has been added uses very fast pace editing to match the beat of the track.
