Production Log 7

For this week we started filming our opening sequence but this was only a draft that was due in the following week so we could recievie constructed criticism and strengths of our film from our peers and our teacher. We had gone down to Forest Gate to film for our opening sequence however everything did not go according to plan, because we had never seen the flat before we were restricted to the certain shots we could as the flat was small and compact we could not achieve some of our shots we wanted, such as the smash mouth opening.

This was useful as we got pointed into the right direction to improve on our work. A key issue for our production was that when we had edited our film we decided to change the actors, some of the storyline and the shots we would use in the film. We had anticipated in consisting of a smash mouth opening in our film by having a close up and a low angle so you can just see the feet of the mother and father fighting. However once we had editing our draft into a full 2minute film it was terrible and we changed nearly everything except location and our protagonist Becca. We had to face a decision wether or not to replace our protagonist because she was not taking the acting seriously, the music was also a key issue as it didn't match the film very well as we had anticipated to be so therefore that we would have to compose a whole new soundtrack for the film.

We had did not just have to think about our production but we had to hand in all our pre-production research and planning which consisted of our Vox pop, meet my audience, shooting script, call sheets, treatment, location recies and the narrative, these were very important as they were acting as a guide for us to stick to in order for our production to be successful.
