Delirium Version 1 Evaluation




This is the first edit of our AS Media production 'Delirium.' Unfortunately we found this particular edit unsatisfactory and decided to refilm it. The final product can be found here

The above piece does not contain music, as we decided we weren't working with it before we sourced the music for our current piece. There are areas that are muted, this being an indication that music would be in place of it (0:00 - 0:25). The camera at the beginning is also noticable shaky, which is something that we remedied in the second piece.

The match on action shot at 0:32 is also not perfect and required a re-edit. Match on action throughout the rest of the piece, however, is not bad.

The disappearance of a character at 0:39 was also an aggravating factor, something that we revise and made much more slick and less confusing in the final product.

Dialouge throughout 0:49 to 1:10 was also unsatisfactory, as it appeared fake and almost cheesey.

The cut at 1:07 was really noticable, and unfortunately we didn't have a sufficient amount of shots to fix this. We would need to re-shoot to achieve this.

At 1:12 as Kieron pulls out the ring, a stifled laugh can be heard in the background. This was a problem as it ruines the immersion and tension that we were trying to achieve.
Following this is a long period of silence. (1:15-1:27) Initially this was a kind of first person perspective of our protagonist with their eyes closed, and the atmospheric sounds were to build tension. However, the clip didn't cut so we were left in the dartk for much longer than we intended (6-7seconds) and ultimately it didn't achieve what we wanted it to. This part was scrapped completely in the end.

The clips from 1:29 until 1:36 were blurred to indicate confusion in our character, however that didn't realyl work so we were lift with clips that just looked out of focus and out of place.

We intended to overdub appropriate dialouge over the clip from 1:44 until 1:55, however this never came to fruition.

Following the fade-to-black at 1:55 we wanted to have it fade back in to Louise lying on the ground and discovering blood and markings on her body, much like you see HERE in our final product. (EDIT: This part was eventually cut out of our final edit due to time constraints, however it is still visible at the link above.) However we couldn't film this during our first day of filming due to loss of light, a drop in temperature and one pissed off dog (leading to the exclusion of it's role in the final product.)

Despite all of these problems, we felt that we had some good shots that we recreated in Delirium V.1

 
 
There were also shots that we originally shot that we couldn't use

But then there were also shots that we didn't think of in the beginning that we really liked
