DIGITAL NEWS: (Post Production) Fine Cut Feedback from Helen

Feedback from Helen:

- in the intro - when Alex says 'Katie' show a clip of myself at the farm

- during the scientific explanation of the hangover - need more sound to lift the mood - the science is quite heavy so music will help to pick up the mood and quicken the pace

- potentially add sound when the shot glasses (representing different chemicals) appear on the screen, this will again help to lift the mood of the scientific explanation

- the titles over the shot glasses work well and help to simplify the explanation

- make sure there's continuity when going into the sequence - currently, Jason's hand is down in the medium shot and raised in the close shot. This just needs to be edited slightly to ensure continuity.

- would be nice to add a sting between segments - helps to move along the story and transport to different locations - will also help to keep the mood lifted

- maybe include establishing shot of 'The Bunker' so that audience know where location is - not important but may add to the story.


We still need to change the titles included so that they all follow through and keep the continuity of the piece. We are adding black labels behind some of the text to give that old fashioned label look - like this:

We aim to track the titles on the shot glasses when they are being moved around - Alex is going to have a go at this as he is probably the most experienced editor of the group. To figure out how to do this we will watch tutorials on Youtube.

Colour correction still needs to be done so that the colouring is the same in all of the footage - at the moment the colour jumps around as some footage was filmed on a Sony EX and other footage was filmed on a Canon DSLR. This is especially important in the 'results' scenes as the footage is quite flat looking and needs to be brought to life.

We may cut down the beginning of the pre recorded package as it is over the time limit at the moment. The pace of the hangover explanation is quite slow so we are thinking of cutting this down and making this more choppy / faster paced.
