After finishing creating the sub-clips from
the visuals and audio we were given, it was time to start the rough cut.
To do this, myself and Lewis started off by
looking through the script and seeing what order the visuals were supposed to
go in. Since I cut up the narration, I had a very good idea of what the story
would look like so I recommended to Lewis that he should have a read through
the dialogue in the script to get to grips with what the story is supposed to
be like.
We started off my opening the film with the
clip of the cannibal walking away from the train and the narrator watching him
leave. Then we did a small montage of the train travelling fast through the
night, with very quick cuts to add pace to the piece and to show that the train
was moving fast.
After that, we cut to a shot of the
corridor and as the train jolts the camera falls into the cabin and then we cut
to the cannibal lighting a cigarette and starring at the camera (as if it were
from the narrator’s point of view).
After that, we cut to the shot of the
cannibal with nobody either side of him and his suitcase above his head and it
starts to open. Then we cut to a close up of the suitcase as a skull is
revealed and falls out of the case. Then we cut to the shot of the cannibal’s
feet as the skull rolls and hits his foot.
We didn’t stay long during the rough cut
because we had spent roughly 5 hours cutting the sound files and getting them
labeled up in a way that we thought would be most practical and we were getting
annoyed with the rough cut due to the fact that we had been starring at the
screen for a long time.
So we decided that it would be a good idea
to leave it as it was and both go back to our houses and have a good read
through the script and make sure that we had the story in our head ready for
the next day when we could carry on with the rough cut feeling more refreshed
and ready to edit.
