Evaluation of filming

The filming went very well we the rough cut was still good but sometimes didn’t make that much sense; this is why we re-filmed some of the opening sequence because it makes the overall feel to the opening sequence so much more effective. Although the rough cut was good how we created the flash backs after getting the audience feedback we realised there were several thing that needed changing by doing a re-film meant we not only had done some more footage to play with but we now had a proper Rough cut with fed back that could be used for looking back an learning from. The second half of the opening sequence was ineffective it because it was the footage the audience had just seen but as a flash back. So we went to a completely different location but still with the same idea of a flash back but was shown in a better way instead of there being flash back in a hand held shot we film a watch edited it so it was in reverse so that the audience would know that the scene they had just watched was the present and the saturated scene after the watch was the past similar to the flash back idea. This was decided after some careful consideration after the first mistake we didn’t want to make the same mistake twice. This was why I think the second attempt a second half was more effective because it was firstly more panned and secondly less rushed. Overall I think now the filmed footage looks great but for future reference spend a little more time organising to make sure things don’t need to be re-filmed. The first half went well during the filming shot, I think this was due to it also being well planned we spent approximately 4-5 hours filming. So we had a lot of footage to play with. I do think though also that it went well because I and another group member spent a long time setting up the location and the shrine on our set to its full potential.
