Rough Cut appraisal

Audio
The audio in the clip at the moment is pretty basic. I haven't added in any music or sound effects yet. The dialog is sometimes engaging but mostly a bit dull. Also it is difficult to hear what is being said at some points because of background noise. I think i can improve by adding some music and re shooting to get the best dialog possible.

Special Effects
There is only one special effect so far in this sequence, the throwing of the tennis ball and i think it worked quite well. Although the drop isn't very convincing and i should adjust the colour correction and opacity to make the ball a more realistic colour so it doesn't stand out as much as it does at the moment

Sequence
I think overall the continuity of the clip works quite well and the tennis ball being thrown around offers a marker as to when each person is speaking and i think that makes it flow nicely. Also the special effect tennis ball clip the 2 shots flow nicely into each other. At the moment it doesn't make complete clear narrative sense but that is because a lot of shots are missing that haven't been added in yet. I'm going to make the composition of the shots a lot better because the position o people were too far away a lot of the time where a mid or close up shot would have been preferred. Also colour correction is needed on a few washed out clips.

What went well- The tennis ball effect work quite well and it didn't take as long as i thought it would.

Problems- didn't have a background slate so they're wasn't something my character could disappear into.
What will do next time- take a background shot before all shots it will need something to disappear into
