FINAL CUT!!!

 

4th Draft

Oh look! An unanticipated draft showed up! Seemed like there's some errors with the sequence!

Change-notes:

- FIXED OPENING CREDITS: "CINEMATOGRAPHED" ISN'T A REAL WORD AND IS REMOVED (you can't blame me for thinking cinematographed is a word, come on!)

- ADDED ZOOM EFFECT FOR THE POLICE FOLDER SCENE AT THE END FOR A MORE *CINEMATIC* EFFECT!

- SYNCED THE FOLDER SCENE WHEN BACKGROUND MUSIC VOLUME PEAKED FOR MORE IMPACT!

- LOWERED BACKGROUND MUSIC VOLUME DURING JAREN'S DIALOUGES (again!!!)

- Soundtrack and sound design is finished and added

- Glitch/Strobing effect, transitions added

- Color graded

Draft 1

Draft 2 (increase in vibrancy and contrast)

Missing:

- Some ambience sound effects

- Some voice acting sections

Feedback from classmates and teacher:

- Re-color grade some scenes to make the criminal more visible

- Adjust the background soundtrack volume during dialogue scenes

- Add opening credits

- Add more special effects and audio to the logo reveal

- Increase the run time of the sequence (it is currently 00:01:46 and the required should be around 00:02:00)

Draft 2:

FIRST EDITING DRAFT

My own reflections:

- A discontinuity was found - cutting between two scene but the closet door isn't closed on the second one. I fixed it by putting the stream overlay on top to cover the discontinuity which saves time and budget on re-shooting.

First scene

Second scene (discontinuity)

Fix: Using the stream overlay to

cleverly hide the discontinuity

- Storyline is fully assembled but it is still missing some dialogue and voice acting.

    + Scene where the antagonist first appear is missing a line talking about the giveaway

    + Scene where the Streamer is attacked is missing a muffled scream

- Soundtrack wasn't added yet since I'm still working on it.

Feedback from other students and teacher:

What I've done well:

- There is an opening hook with an enigma

- Good use of props to encode genre conventions

What can be improved:

- Some scenes are a little bit shaky and can be stabilized.

- The story is not as thrilling without
special effects and sound-design.

- There are no transitions between scenes

- There is not yet a title or credit scene.
