Final cut - HIRED

Looking back to your preliminary task what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from to the full product?

We chose not to use shot revere shot as we didn't have any conversation nor did we want to reveal the main protagonist#s face. We now are more competent in using the camera. We now have an understanding of match on match action as we realised as match on match action and continuity is paparamount to keeping are media project believable and realistic. Such as the continuity of the main protagonist entering the car. However the flashbacks broke up continuity as it was part of the audience role to spot the enigmas and examine what was happening through the clues.

Audience feedback

When we asked for feedback on our roughcut we were told that:

•  It was a good engima  that the audience couldn't see the main protagonists face as it adds mystery.
• It was good how some of the credits were instilled in the surroundings, for example on the white board was some of the credits, however they were too hard to read and not really typical of the genre.
• There needs to be more transition shots particularly towards the end of the opening credits.
• There was box showing that the main protagonist was being watched by someone, however this needs to be more obvious such as a shot of someone watching separately and not in a split screen "24" style approach.
• The close up effect on the eye was excellent as it was clear and you didn't see the face of the main protagonist. It was useful as further enigmas were dropped in such as counting money and firing a gun. This was shot in black and white to signify that it was a flashback. There was some confusion as why there was a split screen towards the end.

From this I have learned that overall I have a strong opening credits footage, however I do need to add more transition shots as well as possibly rectify the split screen towards the end. 

Rough cut

In our rough cut we changed many things such as our font, it didn't suit how our opening credits was suppose to be. It also didn't match with the props, costumes and sequence which is dark. Furthermore we tried to incorporate some of the credits into the props such as the white board. However this didn't catch the audiences eye on feedback from the audience. Additionally it was hard to read and yet again wasn't bold or clear which would go along with a thriller storyline. We changed our music to a more darker tone of music. We also slowed done some scenes to give the appearance that the main protagonist is very methodical and careful in very movement he makes. Particularly when planning his route and circling the targets. This scene being slowed down also raises the importance of this scene in his preparation.
