Evaluating The Rough Cut

I believe the rough cut that we produced when editing the video was along the lines of what we wanted to see, and therefore were pleased with the outcome. What we have found difficult is piecing together the messages in the video that we originally had planned out in the storyboards. Especially that of the feather, because we ran out of time to shoot at the end of the day, we never captured the shot where the actors make their way up to Ivy on the roof. Neither did we do the camerawork on the day where the camera tilts 'into the floor' or 'up to the roof' communicating the relationships between Ivy and the extras. We have also had trouble with the timeline and having to render clips every time we place a new one down. In view of the fact that this had happened we then had to start the entire editing process again. 

Now that we're a few days into the editing process and have completed the final cut version of the video other than adding on the black and white filter along with the green screen, it looks professional. The cuts work and the message that we originally wanted to portray with Ivy as the empowering body has been communicated fully including the feathers. The project is still following the same original plans in terms of editing and has yet to go wrong again. What we wanted to see has come across visually through editing and is supported through the lyrics.
