New Ideas

After brainstorming and devising a new story we quickly came up with a new story board to work from when we film so we know all of the timings and the shots that it will come to, this will make our filming day a lot quicker and we won’t waste any time.

Evaluation of Rough Draft

After looking at all our footage and our very rough edit, we came to the conclusion that the footage wasn’t too great and there was not much else that could be done with it. Another thought was that maybe we could change just a few scenes and redo them to make the quality better. However this would be an issue, as I am silly and dyed my hair therefore the continuity wouldn’t work, my hair would change from red to black in the opening scene.

After a lot of talking on the subject we have come to the decision that it would be best for us to re-film everything and start from scratch instead of just trying to amend the old footage; especially as it could still end up no good and have no time left to sort it before the deadline.

I think that the story line we gave ourselves before was too complex and by simplifying the story we could then put more effort into the editing so it’s simple but still very effective as a thriller. We plan to start a new story board and begin building up a new story to film as soon as possible so we can get straight to editing the new and improved footage.

Editing

Editing had been difficult for us as Sam and I weren’t too great at it, therefore we took the option of splitting into two so that James did his own and we did one together. This way, all three of us had the opportunity to edit and make it look our own. Sam and I struggled at first but began to get the hang of editing.

We started by splitting up all the scenes and cutting them to the right lengths then putting them in the right order to make the story complete. Then we started to add in titles with names of characters and the title of the film.

After doing this we had found that we’d run out of time before the deadline and had to upload this as a very, very rough draft and thought we would just put a lot of extra work into making a final edit of the film.
