Fine Cut

  After the tutorial with Dom, we thought of how we could improve our film straight away and came up with the resolutions found in the feedback post below. 

  We used the 'camera shooting log' to understand what footage had been used in order to know if enough was left to fill in the following deleted gaps:

• The cuts between walking sections that were shot from an angle on the opposite side to the previous
• The diminished areas of footage taken from the 'stills' after placing all of the front view shots of the character at the beginning - making them faster by cutting the timing in half

  This however proved that there was little footage remaining. We resolved this problem by repeating a section of the graveyard sequence at the end of the film. This worked in our favour as Dom also mentioned that it would be helpful for the audience to have an idea at the beginning, where the character is making his journey to. We also made the shots of the character looking at the grave at the end, slightly longer, to create a more intense atmosphere to the film.

When creating the fine cut, we refined the film and ensured that the pacing and colour effects were right and the storyline was put across well enough to understand, as well as adding the final chosen title of 'A Lonely Man'. We decided upon this title as we felt it described the essence of the film and the reasoning for his journey well. 

  We finally exported the film as a playable dvd and a quicktime file.
