Evasion (Most Recent Cut)

On Thursday we took on board some feedback from the other groups. The main flaw was seen to be the scenes where the kingpin is in his office on the phone. The office did not look realistic as the computer was up against a wall, and the shots were too dark and had a lack of different angles. We fixed this in the new cut. We also worked on sound levels a bit more so that all the dialogue is not washed out by the soundtrack. The only things left to do are to incorporate our 'Shatter Productions' animated logo into the opening seconds, and change the credits to make them look more professional. Another possible edit, is that we may re-shoot the scene where the car pulls up as we can now use another car which fits the role better, however we will need similar conditions to those that the rest of the movie were filmed in, for a re-shoot to be a possibility.

Cast Interview




I made a video to give people an insight into our project and what it was like for all the individuals taking part. This video was also a way to exploit my new found skills in final cut. The theme tune for the movie 'Rusteeq' by Ashgo is playing in the background to add to the theme of the video. There are some funny questions and some serious ones and hopefully the video is a good watch. I used many tools in this video such as overlapping video audio, editing audio levels, adding overlapping text, cutting scenes and re-using different parts of sequences. Unfortunately to upload here, we had to export to a lower quality. During our interviews we used some good English vocabulary but also some young people UK slang in order to get in touch with the under-exploited teenage audience a bit more.

soundtrack edit

This is the soundtrack edit we did using garageband. We used 3 instruments (church bell, bass drum and snare) and played an intro which falls into time with the instrumental imported after. After using the initial soundtrack of rusteeq we decided that it would appropriate to add a section with instruments to play in the opening titles and then fade into the initial soundtrack. After listening to the song we were able to recreate the loop using the the software on garage band to create the various sounds in the track. we then listened to the edited soundtrack and played it alongside to rough edit of the sequence to see where rusteeq could be layered or edited to fit the mood. We now intend to make the necessary changes to the soundtrack to create an improved version of what we already have.

Similar Mise-En-Scene


This recent music video shares similarities to our final film with its use of a suburban setting for action scenes such as the chase on foot through the street. We used the streets as it is an everyday environment, meaning people can relate to it more. The above video is also similar to ours in the dress code as many of the characters in our opening sequence also wear black clothes to show that they don't want to be detected or are criminals.
