Last scene/Deadlineee

In essence, after shooting the last scene to our short film/documentary, we had saved the last 2 weeks to edit and develop our production folder.

We had a very successful last shoot of Jon giving the tour around his room, mom and dad interviews and scenes of Jon cooking. Whilst jess applied make up to our actor, we found the room in which we were to film Jon giving a tour was still insufficient, again due to lack of set design. So to make it appear in the shot of a more teenager boys bedroom, I began cutting out pictures in magazines of anything related to cookery as the zombie in the film will be portraying a profuse passion for cooking. Amy helped me, we’d stuck down these pictures to an A3 sized paper, creating a collage to stick as posters around the room. We had also replaced and eliminated some things in the room to the convenience of when Jon gives the tour. I filmed the scene in the room in a handycam style, with some assistance off Amy and Phill of what shots we require, and for editing purposes.

The second scene I shot was of Jon cooking, also in a handycam style, a technique used in most documentaries. We shot a quick scene of Jon on the Xbox before shooting the mom and dad interview scenes. I’d shot that in low angles and long shots.
The interview scene with the parents went really well, we captured their emotions in close up, mid shots whilst they spoke. Phill assisted on having extreme close ups, again for the editing process.

Since, all footage had been captured by Phill and edited. The production folder has come together well, individual research and treatments have been completed by us all also analysis of audience research to enhance our production file.

We have handed in all work by deadline and anticipate high grades J
