Rough Cut

Seeing as Shaun has some experience with editing, we decided to use editing programme, Nero, instead of the school's programme Adobe Premier Pro. I found Nero better than Premier Pro and it did not take as long for the video to buffer. Also, cutting the pieces of footage together was easier as it was easier to zoom in on Nero and find a closer cut between shots. Shaun also showed me different effects they had (e.g. fade to black) that we could use between shots, so we discussed what we felt would go best where. The programme also allows us to add titles less complicated that the school's programme, but we have decided to settle on titles once we have our final cut to save time and effort.

Good things:
I think the lighting for the interior shots has worked really well as was previously worried about the setting of my living room looking too modern or not corresponding with the genre of film.
The idea of the walking shots works well.
Background music when George is shot works well to create suspense.

Things to improve:
The sound in general is an area we need to look into.  The original voice were not powerful or American enough to suit the genre so we need to find a more appropriate match for this.  The background music does not fully flow with the shots, but this may be due to the missing of some shots.  Diegetic sounds such as footsteps or passing cars would work well in the beginning.
The beginning shots of the shoes are canted and shaky which makes it look too amateur.
Lacks continuity, probably due to missing shots.

How to improve:
Look into more music for the background.
Search for digetic sounds (e.g. footsteps, cars, gun shot).
Retake beginning shots.
Film missing shots to keep continuity.
Add titles.
Improve effects.
