Rough Cut Feedback

During this lesson we watched everyone's rough cuts of their opening sequence. A rough cut is designed to show the storyline of the sequence so all the clips should be ready and in order and with sound. Editing should have started. The following sheets are feedback given from the rest of the class, to highlight areas which we have done well and what we need to improve on.  
 
The common areas which we needed to improve on were improving the titles to make sure they didn't cover the actors faces, and do add the title of the film in somewhere appropriate. Also we needed to make our sound effects and transitions a lot more professional as well as start on colour grading.
 
Our group found this lesson very helpful as it identified key areas in which we needed to correct to improve our opening sequences. We put these into a checklist format and went through each one making sure we had completed it so we did not forget anything.

Institutional Research - Logos

Our team really liked the idea of a moving picture for our institutional logo as we thought they are unique and would set our opening sequence apart from the others. So we looked and some institutions that use these types of logo for some inspiration:
 




 Walt Disney











Metro Goldwyn Mayer












20th Century Fox





Then as a team we started to brainstorm some ideas of our own company name: Where we finally came to a conclusion of  'Cracked up productions'

We also started to draw up some designs for our moving picture institutional logo: You can click here to see how we edited both our final products into our opening sequence; and by clicking the 'Production' link and looking at 'Logo Design'.
