Decisions and Revisions.• While we were making draft two, we came across a
problem that we would face – this was the filming of the curtains opening.
• We decided not to do this, as when the curtains opened quickly, too much light flooded into the room which affected the lens of the camera.
• Also, originally we wanted to have a gust of wind blow papers from our character’s desk. This proved too hard to film as we didn’t have a powerful enough electrical fan.
Decisions and Revisions.• Another decision we had to make whilst filming was
the idea of a shadow figure being seen in the character’s laptop.
• We couldn’t do this as the laptop couldn’t be switched off any other way than manually.
• To combat this, we reverted back to the initial idea of the shadow being seen in the television.
Transitions and special effects.
• For draft three, we want to use cross dissolve over the text, so it flows nicely.
• We have also considered using a special effect for the video camera when the character records herself.
•
Changes in character and mise en scene.• For draft three, we want to make our character look more nerdy.
• We will accomplish this by using large oversized glasses, and a simpler costume that makes her look even less confident than in the first and second drafts.
Titles.• After making draft two, we realised that the titles on a
black screen didn’t work as well as we initially thought it would.
• It made the opening sequence too disjointed and wasn’t appropriate for the type of opening sequence that we wanted to make as we had a linear narrative.
• For draft three, we want to put our titles on screen alongside our footage. This will work better as it won’t break away from what is happening.
