[No.46] Production - Rough Cut 1 With Feedback

Rough Cut 1 With Feedback

Feedback: 

• From Marissa she told us that we needed to re shoot the beginning as the clips was cut off before it was able to reach the shot of the body
• Also that we need an establishing shot at the beginning so the audience understands where the girl is

To also improve our rough cut we would need to complete the sound.

We will improve by:

[ NO.39 ] Planning- Pitch Feedback

Production: Re-shooting

Re-shooting

To respond to the feedback we were given by Marissa on our first cut of our final opening. Me and Naeema decided to spend one of our lunchtimes to re-shoot certain shots.

First we reviewed our footage in our first cut to see if any other scenes need re-shooting and then we went out into the park to re-shoot. 

We also decided to re do some of the bedroom scenes so Naeema borrowed equipment that was needed overnight to re-shoot also.

By doing this we have responded to the feedback we were given and have made to changes to ensure the overall quality of our final film opening. 

Post-Production: First editing session - 11/02/15

Post-Production: First editing session

After completing our last filming session on Monday we were able to move onto to editing our film opening.

*Need to insert editing session pictures

*Need to insert first video draft

Feedback:

• Over watching over our clips Marissa mentioned that we should re-do our unconcious scene that include a cut in of a bloody knife as she found the continuity of the clips weren't great.

Therefore on Thursday we are going to re-shot parts of that scene paying close attention to the clips we shoot so there is continuity 

• She also mentioned that there wasn't great continuity in the scene where Naeema wakes up in her room

To correct this we have gotten Naeema to borrow the equipment again overnight on Thursday to re-shot these scenes.

Production: Filming session 04/02/15

04/02/15 Filming session

Due to our detailed planning and schedule that we made in Monday's lesson we were able to get straight to filming as the lesson started as we knew exactly what we needed and what shots we were going to fim.


Everyone within our group knew exactly what they needed to do as everything was beforehand was planned pricesly  and we had strict timed schedule so we didn't waste on time and we get onto to doing exactly what we needed to do within that time frame this enabled us to succesfully get all shots as we needed.

*need inserts gifs

However, due to having such a productive day and running around to get our shots on schedule we found that we were very tiring so we took a break at the end which did not leave us enough time to film our final shot. we would of have been finish within that session, however, this means we now have to have one more final filming session

Production: Weekend filming session 07/02/14 - Esther Asaolu

Weekend filming session

As a group we decided for Naeema to borrow the camera equipment over the weekend so she could film independently at home for the bedroom scenes as she's the only one needed for these scenes.

To ensure we got the shots we needed me and Naeema communicated using Whatsapp to discuss the shots needed and in details how to shoot them e.g. from which directions, low angle, wide shot and so on.

Later on Saturday  we decided to meet up at London bridge so we could film some establishing shots for our urban film which included iconic buildings in central London such as the shard and tower bridge which we were able to film with the help of Naeema's sister . We then travelled down to south east London to a notorious estate named Aylesbury estate to get further establishing shots of urban London.

Whilst travelling we able to review together the shots that Naeema did independently and we were able discuss which shots were sufficient enough to keep and which shots had to be redid.

Overall, our weekend session was successful even though unlike Wednesday's filming session we didn't necessary plan all the shots we wanted to do as we did not have time limit like how we do when filming within a  lesson, this allowed us to get all the shots we need without being a rush to complete our filiming session.

Production: First filming sessions review - 28/01/15 - Esther Asaolu

First filming sessions review 

On our first filming session we found that we were quite unorganised so we though we ended up completing the shots we wanted to film we found that after reviewing them in Mondays lesson that a lot of them were unusable.

For example, we found that some clips were shaky, blurred and so on.

*need to insert screenshots of clips

To improve we have spent this Monday's lesson planning in detail the type of shots we are going to use, what time we are going to film those shots, what we have to bring in and so on. We have also allocated to each person in the group what equipment that are going to hold so there is no time wasting or confusion and we can get to work right away.

Also, when  we first filmed on Wednesday we didn't really know how to use some of the equipment properly such as the fig rig so that lead us to have many technical difficulties that had us stop filming at some points and head back to our classroom or technicians for help which wasted quite a lot of our time. However, with the experience now of using the equipment it is likely we will experience less problems during our filming session.

Next time we will: 

• Use the tripod more than the Fig rig for more steady shots and smooth panning
• Whilst filming ensure that the camera is focused at all times
• be more organised
