Final touches to my audio-visual piece

I just wanted to post some quick updates about my audio-visual piece (a clip from a new crime drama, Partners). Since posting my rough cut and receiving feedback from a number of people, I have modified several elements of my piece. Firstly, I cut down the opening chase scene considerably by cutting faster and paying less attention to continuity, which I think adds a lot to the energy and overall pace of the scene. I changed the music used for this scene also as I felt that the original music was too hyperbolised and didn't feel like music which would be in an actual crime drama. I am very happy with the new piece which I have found, and think that it goes well with the other piece used later on in the piece. I also tweaked the confrontation scene and arrest scene slightly. I have begun cleaning up the audio, and don't think I will bother doing any foley as I have enough audio from on set.

I filmed a very quick flashback scene which was intended to go in the middle of the confrontation scene, however I tried this but it really didn't work - it came off as very comedic (a friend who I showed it to laughed at it) and out of place. In order to satisfy the specification that we must use at least two locations (and because it should make the piece a bit more impressive) I will be filming a very short scene (around 20 seconds) to go after the current end of the piece. It will simply show the main character, Dave, in his apartment, deleting photos on his phone of him and Michael. This will be filmed in my house at some point next week. I may also see if I can get an exterior shot of an apartment somewhere in Cambridge to use as an establishing shot (if I feel this is necessary).

I will be posting my fine cut on this blog as soon as it's ready! (I know you can't wait!)
