First Rough Cut

Rough Rough Cut from Courtney O'Donnell on Vimeo.

This is the first rough cut of our OTS. We have filmed all of our scenes, however I have noticed some errors with the footage, which I have evaluated here:

Overall, I think that the non-linear order of scenes is very effective and has been presented in a clear way due to the editing transitions we have used to present flashbacks. I am especially pleased with the wide variety of shots we have used, as they keep the OTS interesting and professional looking. The acting, cast, and costume presents the traditional film noir characters conventionally, and most of the mise en scene is appropriate for the film noir era. The only issues are with some modern mise en scene and locations, and with the shaky camera operating. We will present this rough cut to our focus group for them to review and give us constructive feedback.
