Production Post 9

We decided to shoot our footage during the morning during schedule problems but also because the weather was holding out so we had to go with it. We didn't achieve our desired affect of an 'evening time' but it didn't matter as you couldn't really tell due to the trees enclosing on the set. It looked like a realistic time the girls would be walking home from school, and no too cliche with an obvious use of pathetic fallacy but we would need to use some editing to dim the light during parts.

We were generally pleased with our rushes and the overall outcome. We did however cut out some of the dialogue to speed up the action and remove anything that seemed unecessary. It worked out better in the end and was still appropriate to our original ideas and genre conventions. We also removed many clips and scenes of the girls randomly running about due to the fact they just felt useless and inapropriate. Obvious jump cuts were removed also.

We reveresed roles from our preliminary task, I filmed the majority of the footage (with the help of Jack) where-as Lucy starred as an actress in the film. We worked well as a team and got a great taste of what it's like to work in every area of production throughout the year. Our great team work shines through in our captured footage.

We decided that to create a scene in black and white would create a gothic and horror-like atmosphere and to add a haunting song playing through the whole sequence would cause terror and panic in the audience's mind.
