43. Reflection of what went well & what didn't 1

REFLECTION

      After our first session on sunday we reviewedour footage, and realised that our choice of location affected how well we could get the shots that we wanted too. We chose to film at camden lock which ended up etting really busy. This affected our filming because before every shot we had to make sure it was safe and convininet and that we werent going to get in anyones way.  So overall our choice of location was bad and we knew that we would have to change it, in order to be able to get the shots we wanted. We decided that we would return to Camden in a couple days and try to find much more quiet place that would also work with our chase scene.

Welcome back to the blog!,

Here is a collection of photos we took at our first location - the corner shop.

Before we started, we walked into the shop and asked the owner of the shop permission to film. We also told the owner what the film was for and what it was we wanted to achieve in regards to camera shots and concept. He gladly accepted and was actually involved in the filming!

Director

As director, i decided to visit the area of filming beforehand so i could picture some shots in my head first to be prepared for filming day, i took some videos of camden before we filmed so the team could gain an insight of the area

Practice shots

We  did some practice shots using the camera in order to get an idea of how we will film our running shots. A lot of the shots in our opening will be focusing on certain body parts such as the feet and so this is what we tried to practice.

41. Blogging Healthcheck 2

Blog is better than last time,

things to improve;

• Stay consistent
• Label titles properly (Research, Planning etc.)
• Various uses of ICT needed
• Use photo sharing sites for every photo/video uploaded

40.Revisions to the pitch

We have revised our pitch and feedback.

We decided to make some decisions and change a few things,

Firstly we decided that 'The Pursuit' wasn't a suitable name for an independent film as it sounds like a hollywood production. We have changed the Title to Garage 32b.

This leads to our second change, the story. Instead of a mysterious envelope we will have a key with the tag 'Garage 32b' on it, instead of the girl collecting an envelope she will collect this.

Another change would be that the ending will be different, instead of a blackout and a sound of a car horn we will have the girl drop the key and not realise until her pursuer is long gone.
