Revision Plan

My revision plan for the upcoming rough cut due of “Rooftops” is to focus almost entirely on the visual aspect of my project. I am very pleased with the actual audio of the story, and cannot find a place where I would want to alter the words. However, I’m less pleased with the visuals, because as I’ve mentioned before, I really wanted to film Firefist and I walking, especially to the rooftop. I couldn’t before because he was sick, but very recently I finally got the footage that I desired, and will work on making it fit seamlessly into my project.

As for the sounds, I’d like to keep the ones that are already in my project, but tweak them. I think that the chatter I have of FIrefist and I in the background as the audio story is playing works for the authentic, somewhat disoriented overall tone that I am going for. I’m not satisfied with the volume though. I currently have our conversation at a very low volume, but I still think it slightly distracts from the audio story itself. I will work on that more, or possibly toss it out entirely if that’s what I end up feeling is best.

Another thing I may want to focus on are the effects. I haven’t figured out what I would want my “trick” to show the class to be. I want to work on cool effects to figure that out, and at the same time find something that will really benefit my story in the long run. My ideal is that the whole project will feel kind of mysterious and imperfect.  From what I’ve looked into so far, I think this “old-film” type essence can be achieved through manipulating the timing and colors, but I’m excited to experiment with it further.
