SHOOT 1 - Wednesday 21st January

As a group we managed to shoot all shots. The filming itself went well, and as it was our first proper time of shooting, all of the shots were very steady and a combination of different shots were taken. Andy, Charli and I communicated efficiently and effectively together, this was important as it made our time worth while. Although it was a good first time of shooting changes were then needed to be made.

Feedback from the teacher was that;

1. The slow zooming effect we used at the beginning, needed to be improved in terms of speed flowness. To make this better for next time we decdided to use a different camera to enable better quality. At the start we inclined to use a still pciture of the door and zoom in on the image, as we thought many films use this effect and usually is very effective, however this wasnt the case for us so we then decided not to use this effect.

2. The group's directing of the actor wasn't quite effective, as the shot that needs a little work on would be when our character is ferociously trying to scrub blood aways and off of his hands. He didnt look scared enough and frightened that he had just murdered somone. Therefore this was picked up on.

3. The positioning of camera during close up of the villains hands wasnt quite right for the response we wanted. We needed to make it clearer and more realistic.

4. The tilt wasn't effective it was needed to hold for longer for the audience to get that sort of anxious feeling that we had hoped for. Instead tension was built then cut off to quickly for the audience to engage with the directors interpretation.
