Extra Filming

After putting our footage onto the computer editing software (we're using Final Cut) and beginning to edit our film opening, we decided that we didn't have enough footage to play around with. In particular, we wanted more angles to cut to within the flashbacks. This means we can speed up the pace of the editing and therefore make the scenes much more exciting.

As Alex was ill and down to the amount of time we have, Georgie and I went ahead to film some extra shots for a couple of the scenes today. We mostly focused on the pregnancy scene, to get more angles to cut to. We experimented with lots of angles and shot types, such as very low angle shots and even a point of view shot.

Throughout the course I've definitely learnt not to think a shot looks good until you've seen it on the computer! This meant we took a variety of shots to have a look at and see what works best.

Hopefully next time we film Alex will be feeling better and will be able to join us again!
