Feedback From Rough Cut

We got feedback from other class members for our rough cut film. one of the feedback we got was to darken down the forest scene as it was too bright and didn't look mysterious and fit in with the rest of the footage. Also we need to put in the credits at the start as it is unaware of who the characters are and who edited it etc. We also have to include the sound in our film, we will have a mixture of diegetic,and non diegetic sound. This should give our film a dark atmosphere,which is an element that is lacking from our film.without the music included. Blue filters are yet to be added to the flashbacks which will add to the look of the film and make it overall look better the blue filters will also make it look more mysterious and give it the edge of a thriller. We haven't finished all of the flashbacks yet as there is a lot to do and we want to make them flow and that takes time. The better the flashbacks are the more effective are film will become. We will splice together footage of Tim's eyes during the sink scenes. This will hopefully make the film more sinister and give our killer a face.

Today is our last day of filming so we need to finish our shots outside in the woods. We have done lots of test footage therefore know exactly what we are going to film so we are confident we will get it done. We need to get shots of the killer stalking the victim, and we found this worked best from the killers POV, however we want to have a variety of shots so will use other camera angles too. We have brought clothes and fake blood to use as props, and we will have to edit the frames to make them darker on Final Cut.

test footage

Today we did the test footage of our stalking scenes, and the fight scenes. First we had to find somewhere to film, we had originally planned to film in an alleyway but then found that some woods worked better. We wanted to have different varieties of shots so we did POV shots, reaction shots, panning shots and some others.
