First Filming Review

After uploading our film to I-Movie Beth and I were able to see some of the things that we need to do to make sure our film runs smoothly and that it makes sense. Here is a list of bullet points that we have to correct on Thursday 19th January: 

·      -Establishing shot of the house - this is because the audience then have a clear view of where it is set as before this wasn't clear.  

·     - (Film some on Joel’s camera) - the video camera that we have used isn't as clear as we would like so we thought by filming on Joels camera could make it more clearer.  

·     - ‘Villain’ walking around the side of the house and opening backdoor. Same shot look at Lil through stairs.

·     - When Chrissie shouts  ‘Lil, Lil” do a POV (point of view) shot of the villain  to look at Chrissie. (Show all of her).

·     - When Lil sat on the sofa to walk to the stairs, do again as you can hear the tripod in the background panning.

·     - Not POV when she turns on the light and looks up the stairs, this will then make it more of a clearer transition.  

·     - Chrissie says “Lil I heard a strange noise” instead of "Lil I can't sleep" as the lighting then makes it more clearer and it better timed.

·     - Lights go out, we need to film this so it is an easier understanding for our audience.

·      -POV shot, Lil panicking in the dusk this again makes it more clear to the audience how she is feeling.

·     - Lights come on, Lil screaming and Chrissies not there, to show what the victim is afraid of.
·      -Chrissie on decking – film in dusk so the lighting is better timed.
-Shot continues to run up the hill. POV shot - showing her feelings and enabling the audience to feel the emotion to.

·     - Lil needs to have shoes on when she is on the sofa for consistency.

·      -Film Ellie in the tree strangling Lil for consitency.

·     - 2 different POV shots of Lil running out of the house looking like she is being watched.
