Rough Cut 1

 

What is in this Sequence: For rough cut one, I did a thirty second clip of what my beginning sequence would look like. It shows our personas standing in front of a church lipsyncing. We filmed this sequence on our first day of filming, in the studio. It shows us doing a close up, medium shot and long shot with the additional transition to make the sequence flow more easily. I have to be careful not to go overboard with the transitions as it won't look professional like I intended it to.  

The Narrative of the video: There is a painting of a couple on there wedding day, the female persona is sick of being stuck in a small framed space, eventually she's had enough of being a painting and decides to break free leaving her husband confused at her sudden departure. She finds herself in the museum where she explores vicariously as if she was human, passing against the houses she finds some candles and begins to light the dark world which is the realistic look on life when she escaped from her optimistic lifestyle.  

What I'm going to do next: I am going to add more of the dance sequence which we re-filmed, I am also going to add the clips which we re-filmed in the studio. Due to re-filming, there was a few black patches of in between the clips, because we had not shown that she 'steps' out of the painting which would rupture the order of events in the narrative leaving the audience confused. I will try and make the next rough cut longer than 30 seconds preferably to a minute or more.
