Documentary: Rough Cut Viewing

As part of the post-production process, our group had a rough cut viewing with Helen.

ROUGH CUT VIEWING

By this point, the documentary was more fine than rough, however, a lot of GVs were missing. This cut consisted mostly of interviews, music, narration, and a few sequences. The GVs and titles still need to be added.

After Helen had viewed the rough cut, she gave us some feedback-

- The story structure and order is good.
- The music is good.
- The narration is good.
- The title could be changed.
- The music levels need to be lowered a little.
- The aerials of London should be replaced with GVs of Margate.
- GVs: change an establishing shot during the opening. Add in a GV of a drop off point.

And some feedback from the rest of the group-

- Think about changing the music during Martina's initial interview.
- Adjust the music levels.
- Stabilise some of the shots.
- Colour correct GoPro footage

To fix these issues I will:

- Change the title to something that sounds better and fits better.
- Either film or get hold of some GVs of Margate seafront.
- Adjust the music levels so the narrator and interviewees are more audible.
- Change the establishing shot so something that fits better.
- Add in a GV of one of the Veg box drop off points.

One of these issues was fixed on the day. After the viewing we sat as a group and came up with a new name: Soil, Sheds and Rows Of Veg.
