Within this session of post production work, the main objective within this draft of my media product is to approach this edit with the feedback from the test screening in mind.
The major changes made to the edit is trimming a few shots, in particular the slow motion shot as this was identified as a shot that diminished the overall production value of the entire sequence. In order to fix this, I replaced the shot with a take that simply had the radio fall in one drop instead of bouncing and prolonging the shot; resulting in a quick but effective shot.
One other trim made to the film is within the eye line match within the opening of the short film, cutting out the shots of the eyes reacting to the blood on the actor's hands. This decision was made particularly due to pacing as this small sequence over welcomed its stay according to feedback from the screening and from my teachers. By only using the one shot of the blood covered hands, the same message is delivered regarding the shock the character is feeling just simply without the intensity seen with the eye line match.
In regards to the sound mix, the significant change made was towards the ear ringing sequence during the office scene. During the test screening, many complained it was far to painful to hear and therefore disconnected them the story. I then took this as a priority to reduce the level of the effect as well as reducing the duration of the sound effect.
last addition made to the product is the inclusion of a production logo as well as credits. Overall the product is assembling very nicely and will be continuing to perfect the edit.
