Final Cut Of 'Lucid'
This is the final cut of our opening to 'Lucid'. Again, as previously mentioned the lighting in the shots is not as originally edited. However, it displays many other elements that we had to overcome when making the film; sound, continuity, framing, music/audio, etc.
Clip Demonstrating Contribution/Skill In Filming
This shot, as mentioned previously in my last post, was effected by the screen used in editing, and actually was edited much darker. However I have taken it to display my contribution to filming the opening, particularly looking at framing. I like how this shot displays what's happening over the shoulder of the antagonist, yet still shows a proportion of his face. It also displays clearly the exit of the other character, continuing the continuity of the shots.
Clip Demonstrating Contribution/Skill In Editing
These three shots run continuously together one after the other towards the end of the film opening. The problem we faced was that lights only flickered on the first and third shot. So, in editing, I managed to insert a strobe to the second clip. By changing the times the strobe was present and the pace of which it turned on and off I could give the illusion that lights were flickering.
After rendering the film however, we noticed that the screens used in editing made the footage appear darker, this has effected our final outcome as on normal screens the footage still looks fairly light.
Analysis Of Audience Feedback
During our test screening of 'Lucid' we gave each person a questionnaire to fill in so we could carry out analysis in order to improve the final cut. The questions were:
1. Do you enjoy watching films?
2. What is your favourite genre?
3. What is your first impression of the opening?
4. Would you go to see this film in the cinema?
5. Is the plot clear so far?
6. Do you think the setting was appropriate for the film?
7. What did you think of the music used?
8. Does the editing make it flow smoothly?
9. What age group do you think it's for?
These were the results we got:
