Project 1-Rough Cut self evaluation

The footage that i have filmed and edited reaching an overall rough cut to the beginning of my super hero movie (The Elite Existence) as a whole, shows some creative skills which i have learnt through the project successfully. I personally like the contrast between each clip of the character 'felix' walking down a corridor with his back to the camera and each special effect that i have created. The contrast shows 'felix' walking down a corridor to then fading into the next clip. I also think that the voice over is very explanatory and impacting which works well with the backing track that sits underneath the footage.

 Purely because of the voice over which is in time with the sequence i think that it makes narrative sense and gives justice towards the opening. I also think that the special effects work well with the sequence because its in time with the music and voice over. I did have a problem with the 'walking through wall' effect because the empty corridor image was at a slight angle in comparison to the live action shot. I tried my best to edit this to make the shot look successful by re-sizing the image. I think that it has worked quite well and is almost un-noticeable as an end product.

 The other two special effects - 'Speed running' and 'Spinning into ground' were very successful. With the shot where a boy is running fast down a corridor, i sped this up in premier rather than putting it into after effects because i believe that not much was needed for the shot (speed up and colour correction) With the other special effect, i did put this into after effects, sped up the point where the boy started spinning, put a mask of smoke over the top and dropped to opacity when hes about to disappear. Overall i think this worked successfully and is effective and believable.

I think as a finished opening scene it is entertaining to watch because of each element working with each other (music, audio dialogue, colour correction, fading in and out of shots and the quality of each shot) The only thing i need to change or adjust is the colour correction in some shots. Personally i like the mix of different shades but according to the peer feedback, the colour correction i have completed isn't understood or clear to why its slightly different tones. As and opening scene i personally am very pleased with my work.
