The Immunes - Rough Cut

This is my rough cut, there is quite abit more editing I would like to do before it's finished, some of the shots are too long and some more effects and tittles need to be added. Also I have to change the volume levels to the sound. Finally there is one location I would like to go back to for some extra footage.

Casting the voiceover

I have asked two people if they would be willing to speak in the voiceover who I feel fit the part. The character's voice needs to be deep because the character is mid 20s and I want my character to have a strong masculine presence because he is not on screen. I have asked people who's sounds close to this. The first person, who was closely to the age sounded good and dramatic but the character is coming from a working class background and has a rough voice. But the voiceover sounded more like upper class.
So I decided to use the other person his voice fit really well with the character. I was able to edit it the crackle and static of the radio straight after recording using the voice recording software, also I added a echo so it seems to be coming out a radio and isn't completely clear.

Filming Review

I felt overall filming went really well. I got most of all the shots I needed and I wasn't in a rush at any of my locations I feel like I tried to use a variety of camera angles while filming which really shows in my opening sequence. One thing that definitely helped was using the monopod; it meant I had a lot more flexibility and movement. Unfortunately at my first location the camcorder ran out of charge so I had to switch to my camera, this was not as easy to use as the camcorder but worked just as well. Also at one location I didn't have a monopod so my original footage was rather shaky but once I stabilized it the footage isn't any different.

Location 3

This location was an old RAF base, it had so old brick buildings which were perfect for another location. While editing I was able to mix these shots with the other footage from the other locations. There was a lot of rusted objects I was able to film like the wheelbarrow and milk bottles.
