This is our finished rough cut. I had a lot of fun filming it and it has been extremely helpful with regards to spotting what went well and what we need to change.
From how our rough cut turned out, we noticed the overall feel of the opening was quite slow and didn't work well with the background music and overall atmosphere we wish to create in our 'party scene'. In the main shoot we have decided to include more than double the amount of shots we did in our rough cut for the party scenes. This is to ensure we can have fast-paced editing and lots of cuts, including cutaways of scenery and objects in the room related to the party lifestyle. A lot of our shots were poorly framed, for example in our shot of a girl dancing on her own there is a huge space above her head which makes it look very unprofessional. From listening to feedback, we also felt that our use of alcohol and smoking was too obvious and was not used in a clever, more subtle way which would have a better effect on the audience.
Most importantly, the lighting in each of our shots was very inconsistent and not of a high quality. So, in the main shoot, we will be using a lighting kit and a light for the top of the camera to avoid getting such grainy shots.

We concluded that our shoot board was unnecessary for use in all the shots apart from the argument scene because we wanted them to be spontaneous and not forced or awkward.
