FINAL CUT

This is the final cut of our film opening The Journey, a social realist indie production following an abusive professional tennis player who must rebuild himself and his life after he suffers brain damage in a car accident. Taking influence form social realists such as Paddy Considine's Journeyman and Tyrannosaur, and older films like My Beautiful Laundrette and Withnail and I.

Our primary target audience is males aged 18-25, and females of the same age being our secondary target audience. We would hope for a BBFC rating of 15 to allow for a larger audience, but it is likely that it would be pushed to an 18 (like This is England, Sweet Sixteen and Tyrannosaur).

Changes since the last rough cut:

the audio has been levelled, and more ambient sound has been added
The idents were also added

• Sound:
• different cars driving by sound effect
• using the volume levels to keep it even
• foley sound of panting
• camera whir sound removed
• dog barking sound added more successfully 
• dialogue at the end matches with the visuals, and the "good afternoon" was cut for verisimilitude
• music in the car volume has been fixed
• dialogue audio is quieter now
• the phone ringing is also quieter and less jarring now
• audio fade at end
• Titles:
• there was a wonky title at the start, that has now been fixed
• the film title has been put after the car crash before the light flare - look better. Also made longer so looks less like an inter-title
• Editing:
• more match cuts in the first cross-cut scene, this adds more meaning to the scene, showing the connection between the 2 characters
• trims were made so that it is closer to the 2 minute mark
• reactions to the news he will not play tennis again are shown
