Final Cut

This is our final cut after all re-edits and tweaking. I am happy with the outcome and pleased that we met our deadline to complete it. There are a few shots and edits that i would change if i had more time and if our actress was available.

Here i have chosen the four shots that really work for me in our production.
Firstly, the slow motion effect that we chose to use on this particular sequence works really well as it is a slow part of the song. The looking back on each syllable of the word "track" in the song really places emphasis on the line, and i think has a powerful effect on the viewer.

The first look back is an extreme close up, which even misses out some of the face. I like the fact that the wind is blowing in her hair as she is running which shows the desperation in her eyes also.

The second look back is a close up, which is done deliberately to show a change in the shot. I think the way she looks back again is powerful and almost seems like it is the same shot but taken at different angles.

The third shot is longer than the other two, and it is my favorite one out of them all. I think the reason why i like this shot is that it shows her running afterwards in slow motion, which in itself comes across to me as a powerful action. I think it goes well with the music and compliments the scene in a creative sense. The light flair also adds to the style of the shot and follows her running which i think works well.
