OUT OF DATE

Out of date is an interesting comedy with moments that are a bit funny and the very first comedy I have edited. I have watched all the scenes and I'm editing the scene where Alf gets ready to for his date. The reason why I chose this scene is because it relates to the name of the film (Out Of Date) and also the scene I wanted to do had a missing codec. 

I believe, I was able to create a clear narrative of what's happening and establish the relationship between the characters with the footage I had. 

I wasn't able to establish the female character (left side in the image above) because all the close up shots she's in are out of focus but I used her voice over in certain moments within the scene. For example when she makes a joke of his 70's shoes and I show Alf's reaction towards it (image below). 

With Alf, I mostly used close up's to show his emotional reaction as his not keen on going to this date and the other male character is his side kick trying to cheer him and have a laugh. 

I'm not happy about the ending scene because there's only one angle and there's not much in terms of creativity you can do with one angle. 

I haven't done much in terms of sound design. This is because I'm not very skilled at choosing funny sounds for comedies. Different comedies have different sounds to suggest the genre and mood.
