Final Cut

After discussion, my group decided not to make any changes. We felt that some of the feedback misunderstood our artistic vision. For instance, someone suggested to "stabilize some of the scenes". However, my group intentionally wanted the shakiness to make the film feel panic-stricken, because this how the main character was meant to feel in that situation. The handheld camera tenqunique was meant to make the audience feel like they are in the scene. We also saw another comment thar requested that we shorten the first scene of the film. We decided that the length of the "man running" scene was necessary to establish setting and the dark mood of the film. It also gave us an opportunity to introduce the credits and the title of the film. Some people also requested that we include more contest, but as this this jsut a film opening we decided to keep it mysterious to an extent. We wants the viewers to want to keep watching.

Editing Second Week

For this week of editing my group continued to sequence the clips. We edited over the course of two class periods. We trimmed some scenes that felt too long. We added the title and credits. We decided to add the title and credits over the first scene of Josh running out of his house. When we first uploaded the clip into Adobe Premiere Pro we felt that this clip was too long. However, Lily had the great idea of using this scene as an opportunity to introduce the title and credits while still establishing the setting. We decided to switch from an arial bold font to something with more character. Instead, we picked the Lithos Pro font from the Adobe Premiere Pro font bank. We still need to add the diegetic music for the scene where Josh is running with headphones in, but it should not take very long to do so.
