Final Filming Decisions

We decided against the charred hand of the victim as we did not like the effect given when filmed as it did not look realistic enough.

We have cut part of the ending of the sequence before the title as we had a discussion as to wether we were giving to much story away to the audience in the opening. We have decided on a fast paced action opening so that we keep the audience interested and wondering what is happening. In the sequence we have fast cuts with a one or two slow shots within them to empahsise the atmosphere within the sequence.

We have used natural lighting throughout this film piece as we felt this gave us the most realistic and desired effect that we wished to obtain, however in some shots we had to use a light reflector to maintain lighting continuity within the sequence.

We filmed each shot a number of times in different angles so that we had a choice in which shot to use when editing. we also made sure there was an overlap in action (filmed the last bit of the previous shot) in the shots so that the editing could be made easier and less complicated for us when needing to combine the shots together.

Originally we were hoping to have a slightly upper-class look to our antagonist characters but due to lack of cotume supplies we decided to change this to a more modern style of tracksuit bottoms and jeans with black tops as this is all we could get for our characters. this has worked well with our piece as the look we finally decided to give them suited the setting and story line of our piece.
