In order to keep my workspace and sequences organised I labeled all of my footage in terms of how useful the clips were. By doing this from the start it meant that I didn't have to waste time searching through all of my shots.
1st Draft
For my 1st draft I created my opening scene. The narrative is extremely basic and is based in a car, an idea which I have replicated from Godard's Breathless. Jump cuts are heavily featured within my video, therefore I have chosen to skip the majority of narrative, something of which was common within the French New Wave. I have however decided to layer some of my videos as i wanted to try out different techniques. This is something very uncommon during the new wave, however I feel it accompanies the jump cuts in my video fairly well.
Evaluation
Generally I am pleased so far with my video, however to improve it I feel that I need more footage to accompany it. The audio is extremely basic at the minute as I had to remove the audio off several clips for various reason and therefore my next aim is to gather more footage with useable diegetic audio. Also the majority of my shots I'm currently using are quite dark due to there being a lack of light sources. Therefore to improve this, when I shoot more footage I will film during the day or even use more sources of light to brighten my shots. The effect I am most pleased with is when I blend two or more shots together, it creates a really visual effect on the viewer; although this is a feature used more in contemporary films, I thought I would see how it looked with a French New Wave convention such as the jump cut.
