Feedback and Half Term shoot

We mocked up our shots we had gathered from our recent shooting and got feedback from our teachers and sat back and evaluated it ourselves. Some of the mistakes i made was that I put in some edits (fade cuts) into the project without much thought. I hadnt thought about the desired effect it would give or really took into account that it didnt look right. This was obviously clear as both teachers said it didnt work - to account for this, the next chance i have at editing I will hopefully put more time and thought into what im trying to do and how i will do it.
We were given some feedback on the project so far so we went back out to reshoot some scenes over half term. We were told that an establishing shot was needed to set the initial location and furthermore the shot types got repeptitive and boring. With this in mind we attempted to encorparate both of these criticisms. We shot an opening shot POV walking up to the house which easily transitions into the actress entering the frame. We also had to reshoot a certain shot due to lighting issues - but we struggled to get our actress on location due to personal commitments. So we decided to shoot half of the shot POV style again and then edit it into the shot we had before up untill the lighting issue passes. The effect we intended to create was a slightly disorientated feel as the camera POV was unsteady which matches the actress's direction we gave her whilst filming.

Change

Our coursework has deviated vastly from our initial idea and our animatics. This is due to a variety of different reasons. Firstly when on set we started to come up with new ideas, this lead to a slight shift in the openings perspective in the sense that we where trying to put to much into it. We then changed our idea to be a little more interesting and less obvious. Secondly our teachers gave feedback and told us that we were using too many locations; personally I agreed with them as i thought what we had was a montage of shots and locations that didnt link very well. We decided to create a dual narrative, and establish two locations.

We got a new actress pretty late in the day at this stage as we had restructered our opening. It took one day to shoot the new scenes we needed.
We then had an ILP day dedicated to sorting out our media coursework, as a group we spent the majority of the day editing. As well as this we began to brainstorm further to enhance what we want our core finished product to look and sound like as well as voicing what we think we have come up with.
