A new schedule

As we approached the three weeks before the deadline it became clear that we needed to manage our time more wisely so we devised a new schedule where we looked at what free periods we each had a a team and when we can get together as a group and when we as individuals could come in and work on the project. So when we devised our schedules we also decided what we was going to do in those free periods so that if one of us was going to work on the project for an hour and later that day another one of us was going to work on the project later that day we know what each other was working on.

Re-filming shots

After we had shown the class our rough cut we were not very happy with the response so we decided that it would be best if we reviewed our strongest shot and looked at how we could film new shots that would accompany our best shots and show a variation in skill. Some of the new shots we desired were ones which would show distress and anxiety from the killers victims, in order to get theses shots we travelled to a friend of Lyles who owns a large section of land where people go shooting, we obtained permission to use both a real shotgun (in order to gain the sound effects) and an airsoft pistol as a prop used by the killer in the production. We succesfully filmed a large selection of shots that were usable and appropriate for our production which we used to replace many of our weaker shots.

Feedback notes

Jamie, Will, Lyle

To get a rough structure to the shots to create a narrative
Use the strongest shots and get rid of the weakest
Try to find shots that don’t reveal too much information about the subject straight way to keep the audience on the edge of their seats
Good use of fast edits, use more of this within reason
Use the existing music but add some sound effects to add atmosphere to it….. speak to James or AJ for advice.
Get some simple but effective titles
