Design Practice 2: Film: 2nd Edit

Shift Edit 4 from Jordan Brooks on Vimeo.

The latest edit for our design practice two project: SHIFT

New additions:
- Sound correction to the opening scene. 
- Correction to the 'shift' title transition.
- Straight cuts added to the reception scene for better flow.
- Envelope scene shortened to keep audiences interest.
- Postbox scene shortened.
- Corrections to the night time alley way scene such as: a more fast-paced, continuous set of movements displayed by camera cuts and a correction to a continuity error with the bag.
- An overall contrast increase to the entire film, to create the dark film noir look and feeling.
- An alternative ending, makes more sense in terms of movement of the characters and also creates a better sense of equilibrium from the start scene. The still image with wind has been replaced by the much more effective fade to black with a gunshot noise and a slow motion drop of the hat.

Possible further improvements:

- The addition of voice overs to establish and explain the story better. avoid feeling like a silent film.
- Addition of running away sound in the beginning scene.
- Addition of sound to the final scene: 2nd time you see Chris, 3rd time you see Kyle.
- Sound fades in from writing letter to postbox scene.

P.S. ( It is to be noted that editing is now being done by seperate people so differences are to be expected, were aiming to create a general over-all team edit which were all happy with. This may well be the finished piece. )
