Feedback of Final Cut

People said that our music was one if the best things in our was the soundtrack, however the volume was so loud that at times it dominated the voice-over. It was advised that we turn the soundtrack down and turn up the voice-over. However people thought that the voice-over needed to be longer in places, like after the first line. Another problem observed was that there were too few shots in general in our sequence. Having looked at these We agree with the sound criticisms, we know the soundtrack and the voice-over drowned each other out, especially at the first line. It also was an unnaturally quick journey from the hallway to the classroom.

Final Cut Opening

Our Opening

Character Comparison

These two character are ones that we think resemble our main character. The one on the left is from "10 Things I Hate About You" and the one on the right is from "Drillbit Taylor". The first is "Michael Eckman", and the second is "Wade". Wade is a nervous, skinny, pressured and fairly stereotypical nerd, who is bullied, pressured by his father, unsure of himself, wears glasses and has a crush on a fellow student. Michael Eckman, is a more "nerdy" character, who is obsessed with technology, as well as being the former head of a technology society at his school. We took most of the character "Wade" and combined it with the "extra nerdiness" of Michael. We took the romantic theme from both, as "10 Things I Hate About You" is a romantic comedy. We took the description from "Wade", with the costume from "Michael". With all these things we made "Tom".

Review of Filming

We got enough footage to make a sequence , but we had to adjust several shots. We chose not o have a conversation between Tom and his friend, instead we just filmed them saying hello to each other. We did this because we found it hard to film a long scene like that due to the large amount of people walking down the hall and, mainly we found it too time consuming. We also added in Tom dropping his books as we thought it would add to the characterization. We did not shoot the toilet scene as we felt we had enough footage and there was not the right amount of time to film it in. We added in the bit where Tom looks at the couple, as, since it as teenage romantic comedy we thought that it needed a romance moment. It took us longer to film than expected, as we simply we not organized enough when filming. however we did get enough footage to get a complete opening sequence.

Review of First Draft

The majority of the class said that our rough cut did not have a big problem with it, but that the absence of the titles and the voice-over was noticeable and that it needed to be put in for the sequence to be "great" instead of "ok". Thus this is what we will focus our efforts on, putting on the soundtrack. Once they are both on we will adjust anything we think needs it.
