Shooting day 1:
On our first day of shooting, we had planned to shoot the whole opening of our film, all in one day.
We went to a deserted place as we had planned beforehand, which was based in a private area in limehouse.
We had then moved on to shooting particular shots by using different type of angles, we had done this by following our storyboard.
We had to re-take many of our shots, as we there was difficulties with the positioning of the camera and so on.
When we had then come back to our class the next day, for editing. We had mainly cropped out some of our filming as some did not come out as we had intended to come out as. We didn't use as many transitions on our filming, we mainly used fade out at the near-end of our opening.
We also added music to our opening, to create tense within the begining, and we had thought as a group it had fitted in nicely with our opening.
Audience/Class feedback:
The class had watched our opening and we had got alot of positive feedback, but on the other hand, there was also feedback, where the class/audience had told us that the framing was a bit out of position, and the main point was on the costume that was worn in the opening. As all our actors are young asian boys, when they had similar costumes- black jackets, it was hard to distinguish between the victim and the villains. It was suggested that we make the victim wear white to connote innocence and vulnerability.
Therefore, we had then planned on taking all the feedback, and take it into consideration, as a result we had re-taken our opening of our film again.
Shooting day 2:
As we got feedback from the class, we had taken all that in, and had re-taken our opening again.
The actors in the film were wearing what they were supposed to. Victim was wearing white, whereas the villians were wearing all black. So when watching, you can tell who the vulnerable is, and who the villians are.
We had then got into shooting our opening. This time we were focusing on the framing of our opening, as well as our filming and techniques that we had used in the first day of our shooting.
The next day we had come and edited our final shooting, we had used some bits from the first day of our shooting, and had also linked it with the new shooting that we had taken. During the editing, the difficulties we had faced, was doing continuity within the opening of the film.
