Major Project: First Rough Cut meeting with Simon

First Rough Cut Viewing

What the day consisted of

Whats missing

• I  need inserts of the close ups on the art board after art class
• CU's of the art flier - it includes the viewer in the story, its important
• get the reverse MCU of him since we only got the girl's - its odd if we go into her single without going into his.

Other feedback

• All i need to do is cut in tighter. 
• Use the singles of the boys during the conversation
• The way I am framing it is evocative for the story.
• Dont compare my story to anyone else because my story is different, its emotive and doesn't necessarily need handheld edginess.  
• don't fight the fact its a slower pace. don't lose track about the pacing of my actual story
• choice of location is great, can really bring together with the sound
• The calendar scene works
• Even though its rough you can tell it will really come together
• Its a beautiful story with great elements.

What went well

This tutorial with Simon was a really uplifting experience as he really reassured me that I was indeed on the right track. Sometimes you forget about all the good things when certain things just don't match up to what you originally expected so I'm learning that that is also okay. 

Next Steps:

• Continue to refine the cuts and make things tighter
• reschedule the re shoot
