Point 36 & 37: Rough Cut

This is my first draft and rough cut of my opening sequence to the film I have titled 'Standard Goods'.
I realise that there are some shots that I need to re-shoot as the focus or steadiness isn't correct. However I am happy with this as my first draft and now know how I can improve it before I publish my final cut.

I had to very carefully plan out the order to which I was going to shoot the film in so that the characters morning routine was parallel to the chronological opening titles. The actress and I went over the scene multiple times to make sure the transition between clips were smooth. Something that I struggled with throughout the filming process was making sure that the cameras shadow was not visible on screen. Due to this challenge i am going to have to reshoot some of the scenes as I am not happy with the outcomes of the clip. Overall the shooting process went well and the first rough edit is what I was hoping for. Now I can look over it and improve on the errors and mistakes that are present within the film
