Rough Cut 1- Production Diary


Above we see my first rough cut of my A2 music video. It is a basic culmination of all of my shots, it has no special effects apart from the fact I created an adjustment layer and adjusted the saturation value to nil, and added in cinematic bars at the bottom and top. I'm happy in general with the edit as it has the start of what I aimed to do. However it is still without the intertitles I plan to insert, but in the time being I shall just add dummy titles in so I can edit to the beat of the song as at the moment there is no point of accurate on the beat editing as I will only have to change it in later edits. Furthermore, I plan to colour correct my whole video by adjusting the basic settings such as highlights, shadows, blacks, whites, saturation and exposure. I may also look for a more appropriate lookup table (LUT), in order to improve the general aesthetic of the whole production as it produces a more cinematic look compared to the use of saturation which I currently have in place. I'm also considering changing the bars at the top and bottom of the screen and instead moving them to the sides to replicate the 4:3 frame old silent films have. Finally I feel the use of some new transitions at the end of the production would help tie the narrative together as it will bring a sense of continuity, as at the moment I feel the cuts feel robotic leaving a narrative which is unclear.
