Editing Two Steps Behind

On Tuesday, we had to show are teachers and the rest of our class what we had done so far. They were very impressed with are work so far, after all the different changes.

we then decided to take the opinions given and try and make the improvements. We used some shots that we didn't use and put them in the film, to make it longer and more effective.

We then asked some people in the room, who fitted our target audience to watch our film and we asked for their opinions.



I believe that the opinions given reflects the hard work that are group put in and also showed that the film was very good to watch , just like a high budget short film.

filming part 3

Today we set out to film are whole film in one day and got permission to take a camera off-site. We had new actors. The only main difference in the plot this time is that the main character Scott is no going to work he is instead going to meet his mates for a cinema outing

By filming the whole main body of the film in one day will be particular useful to us when editing because it should have eliminated the chance of different cars in the area ruining our film's continuity.
We was able to get new shots than before:
close ups
extreme close ups
over the shoulder shots
mid shots
long shots
we wanted to create are own dolly but not have this laying around, so we create are own, by using a lift to carry one of our members around during filming.
However when we told are teacher about are made up dolly, she was very worried about are health and safety at the time but at least we got the main filing done.














Here are some screenshots of are filming :
