Feedback on rushes

Feedback: Unsure of the set up of the film what is the motivation for the person to jump out and attack? It this plausible?
Shame some of the church footage is unsteady but looks okay perhaps hold still in the final film. Why is Arran not in costume would a vicar really wear a bright green t-shirt. It would be better if you could re shoot and get some costumes for the actors. Would brother James really be wearing a coat?

Answer: This was only a practice shoot as the vicar and many extras were unavailable at the time, this is also why the characters were not in costume. We will re shoot this scene with more extra characters and costumes.

We have also decided to leave out the attack scene and just show the couple walking through the walk way. This is to create enigma and the audience will be able to make assumptions as to what happened.

Editing part 2

We are editing the footage that we filmed last (it was a practice run of the real church scene that we couldn't do due to the vicar and other extras being to busy to film before the rushes).

Filming Part 2

We have now filmed the church scene of our production, however due to certain circumstances we were not able to use the correct costume or have as many extras as we would like. Because of this we plan to re-shoot the church scene next week using more characters.

Editing Part 1 (Flashbacks)

Today we cut out the shots that we did not need, and then joined the remaining footage together in a logical order to resemble the flashbacks. We took out the sound and made it black and white to show that it is in the past and the character is struggling to remember the events exactly.

Once we have filmed the church scenes we will then integrate them with the flashbacks to complete the sequence. We will then add titles and sound to complete the editing.

Opening Title Analysis

Titles can either be separate to the opening of a film or incorporated into them in some way.
They can either add something to the narrative or add nothing and simply show the titles.

The Orphanage: The opening credits are shown separately to the opening of the film. They show children's hands ripping off wallpaper to reveal the titles. This probably has something to do with what happens later on in the film and implies that the characters will try to uncover something.

Vertigo: The opening starts off with an extreme close up of a woman's face, the title "Vertigo" appears in the characters eye in a very a very small font and then grows. Then as the camera goes into her eye and we see more titles in a separate screen. The shapes in the middle of the screen give the impression of falling.

Filming part 1 (flashbacks)

On Sunday we filmed the flashback/murder scene, we believe that we got the footage that we need however we have decided to cut some of it out.

We will be filming the second half (church scene) this Thursday evening.
