Just like our animatic, the rough cut contained all the titles, sound effects and the soundtracks we wanted to include. We added a second soundtrack for the beginning and middle sections of our opening as we wanted something less dramatic. This piece is called "Ever Evolving" from the album 'Ambient Figures Volume 11'. This was sourced from freeplaymusic.com.
The rough cut was extremely useful as it helped to highlight the issues in our sequence. One of the main issues with our rough cut was that it was over the 2 minute time requirement. We tried to shorten the length of our opening by using Adobe Premiere Pro to speed up some shots or on the rare occasion cut small sections out so that they would take up less time (for example we cut the perfume shot from three sprays to two). However this was mainly due to the fact that our raw footage was longer than we had planned. For the main shoot we are going to follow the timings on our timeline strictly to avoid having to speed up/cut small bits out of our footage.
Another issue that both our group and our technician noticed was the sound levels. For example the ambient sound during the scenes with the radio announcement distracts from the announcement itself. To improve this we plan to cut the ambient sound entirely whilst the radio is on so that the audience can focus completely on what is being said. Additionally we need to change the sound levels slightly for our main edit so that the transitions are smoother.
