Re - shoots

Okay, so we did out re-shoot yesterday ( 15th february) since it was an inset day. This was our only hope on having everybody avalible for the shoot. It rained unfortunatley.
There were several complications to be sorted;

  • The actor who played male character two has been injured. Fortunatley, we have found another actor to play him for the re-shoots.
  • The framing problems were where a few shots where heads were partially cut out of the shot or wheremodern houses were visible in the background. If you view our first draft with a keen eye, it is likely you could spot these mistakes. This will be improved upon with the re-shoot.
  • Initially, both of the death scenes were shot in a cemetery located in Clifton. However, we are now going to shoot these in Weston in Gordano. Hopefully this can improve on the meaning and narrative for the viewer. We can shoot later  in the day because it is closer to our homes. Additionally the full potential of the old fashioned street lights will be facilitated.
  • There were a few places in the sequence that we felt needed more emphasis or were difficult to comprehend. This reshoot will help us make the story flow better. 

Overall, the re-shoot went okay, however I hadn't any batteries for my camera and therefore could not take 'behind the scenes' style photos for the presentation and blogs, apologies for that. This would have given me more of a solid purpose during the shoot. It is also worrying that the mise-en-scene may have been compromised by shooting near a busy road.
