Evaluation of Rough Cut

During the past few weeks of filming and week of editing we have finally rounded up with an idea of what our opening should be like.

It was my second time properly editing on final cut pro of  so it was challenging at some points. As a group we decided to open with an establishing shot of 'Angel Road Station' our only and main location.  It then cut into a second shot of the top of a fence with sticks/twigs surrounding it. This close up shot was panning across for a good 4seconds, again to present a cold atmosphere. Third shot was of a train passing by, it was to give the audience an idea of what could happen or hoping it would relate to our title 'Last Stop'.

We carried on using Final Cut Pro too do a shot reverse shot of the villian in a gas mask and the train passing by. We've done this to try create a scary/creepy atmosphere as it isn't quite normal to see someone in society with a gasmask. Also she wears school uniform to make it more intense. The uniform signifies a young innocent girl, however in this case we have decided to represent this opposite to show how demented she is.  In these shots, it again presents a character and the fact that she comes closer and closer makes it even creepier.

The next shot cuts into a shot of me (the victim). This shot just establishes another character. The normal clothes and myself acting as if its a normal day shows that im un-aware of any happenings what so ever. The scenes go on for me to not notice the villian until I turn my head. It then cuts into a shot of the villian sitting still. This shows awkwardness and status as she doesn't react or look at anything however the victim does.

We didn't use sound track pro as we didn't have enough time. Theres a few alterations that we need to do e.g use effects, add in titles, add in sound effect and music. By doing this we should have a successful opening as a group!
