Scene Rushes Without Editing

This is a look at my first scene without any editing.



I think that in terms of flow it works well because there is a shot that I need to add in when editing.

However, I need to edit these clips because we had to film in lower light than usual which has resulted in some grainy footage. As this is the very first scene, it must look professional; if audiences started watching and saw this they may turn it off because they would think it was unattractive before getting to the scenes with more appealing lighting conditions.

If I reduce the grain using After Effects and it still looks unprofessional, my options are to reshoot or to alter my narrative structure so that we do not begin with this scene and create the wrong impression.

I will also be taking out the audio and adding sound effects or alarms, ringtones and my soundtrack.

I saved my videos efficiently in order to make it easier when putting them together, which it did...

 I went into my 'To Use' folder for this date and had split them into different scenes. I then opened the 'Getting Ready Morning' folder and found all of the videos I needed, all specifically named so I knew what they were.

I then imported them straight to my project in Premiere Pro and it was easy to order them because I had already renamed each file.

This is what my cyber-bullying scene looks like without any editing.



I think that these clips flow together well.

I am also happy with my lighting in these shots. In particular I like the section where my protagonist looks directly at the camera as half of her face is lit with red. This effectively symbolises the negative effect which this bullying is having on her; it is taking over.

Again, I will be taking out the audio and adding my soundtrack, which will increase the sense of sadness and audience sympathy.
