Oblivious (Final Cut)

Here it is, the final cut of 'Oblivious'. Within this cut of the project it contains an amalgamation of the various ideas brought to us after different screenings and test audiences. The most noticeable change made to the final cut is the change in music; we as a group felt that this choice favours over the original choice as it fits in more with the thriller genre. In addition, we've decided to cut out the last shot of the bag and leave the sequence with Joseph's glare as it leaves the a sense of ambiguity. Another reason for this decision was the notion that our original drafts spoon fed the audiences too much exposition; where as this cut allows enough for the audiences to follow along with our story, yet still being thrilled by it's ambiguous messages and ideas.

We have also changed the font size of all the credit due to the fact that they seemed to distract the audience's attention away from whatever was happening in the shot. In addition to the placement of the credits as some appeared in places that covered important visuals within the frame.

The final fix we made to this cut was the decrease in the level of the soundtrack as Joseph's father calls him to go to school; this was an issue in previous draft that some of the dialogue seemed unclear. But all these aspects have been emended and have lead to produce a cut that I am most certainly proud of.
