Another shot that concerned us during the rough cut was one where the stalker slams Eva's car door and then appears in the car. After watching this, we realized there was a logical flaw. The transition looked unnatural because there was no clear explanation for how the stalker got into the car so quickly. Watching this in the rough cut made it obvious that we needed to reshoot this scene to make the shots flow more logically. We decided the best way to achieve this is to begin filming as the stalker sits in the car, instead of him already being inside. This way, it makes sense when he started talking to her, creating a better flow.
This experience has reinforced how important rough cuts are in filming. They allowed my group to see everything come together and spot mistakes that we didn't realize were there during filming. Whether it's a shot angle that doesn't work or audio that doesn't match, the rough cut is where we could catch all issues and make necessary changes. The process of making adjustments after watching the rough cut may be time-consuming, but it's essential for making our film exactly how we picture it.
