The Moving Man Final Cut

Today we finally saw the complete cut of our footage.  From seeing the uncut footage of The Moving Man I was expecting something some what different from the final cut. I found many aspects had been improved by the style of editing and addition of sound.  Previously to editing I did not like the use of the lighter green lighting, but in the final cut they cut it out and used the darker colours which created a more sinister tone. The tone however was slightly ruined by the adding of titles which said things like 'tee hee' and 'what do you think i'm doing'.  One aspect I really liked was the sound. I thought the use of creepy classical music really worked with the tone of the film and expressed a sadness about the character, showing his loneliness as all he had was a dog but even that seemed unreal because it was not in the form of a dog.

It was interesting the effect that the sound had on the titles. You all responded to the titles more favourably before the sound was added. Perhaps this is why they are a convention of silent films but didn't continue.
