feedback
sound

diagetic sound is effective, roughness of sound goes with grainyness of video.
sound was too quiet sometimes.
no soundtrack builds up tension
effective ....very.

mise en scene

dark,mysterious atmopsphere
too dark that you couldnt see much

editing

liked first person perspective
shots too long and choppy

camerawork

not enough close up shots
good point of view shots...but too long

Editing
Once we had all the parts filmed we put them on to the computer, we looked through all the film and managed to pick out enough useable footage. The last three shots of our completed film were very dark and it was almost impossible to tell what was actually going on. This meant that we had to change the brightness and contrast on those three parts. When we watched the film through again we realised that this meant the quality of the film seems to drop there and looked much grainier, so we changed the contrast and brightness for the whole clip.

Problems on set.
When it came to the arranged day of shooting our film one of our cast members couldn't join us, this meant we had to change some of the roles. The cinematographer had to play a part in the film and we had to find someone else to do the filming for the first couple of shots. This didn't cause too much of a problem, but it did mean filming took longer than it should have.

Towards the end of it there was just three of us which meant the last part was hard to film. Two people were in the shot and one behind the camera, this meant we had no help with the lighting. Our location was very dark, which was necessary, but it took quite a while to get the right lighting with no one to hold the torch. It ended up balancing it on a tree and changing the angle until we could see it through the camera, if we had no light there was no way you could have seen anything.

visiting our location...taking pictures


Just as the sun started to set...









Part of the rehearsal...



A possible runaway path????



into the woods...


we visited our chosen location on the 27th January at about 4:00, when it was light enough to take pictures so that we knew where about in CHERRY HINTON HALL we were going to film. In this post we have included the photos of where we thought would be appropriate to film and some action photos to demonstrate shots from our film.
