Wednesday 14th April - Re-Shooting

Today, Shaun, Charlotte and I, re-shot the ending to our thriller opening. We re-shot the part where Shaun was walking up the drive, this is because we found that the camera work was not steady enough, and also we felt that we had shot him walking for too long, and it did not look right, so we cut down the walking part, to make it shorter. We then inserted a new part into our thriller; we were inspired by the Blair Witch project, as the shad a lot of hand held camera parts in it. This then gave us the idea that would relate to the ending, that we would film hand held, very violently and search around the house. This would then link to the mystery of ending up in a room after looking at all the others in the house. We wanted the feel of mystery and wonder so that the audience did not know where the character was going, but eventually we find the old woman in the room. We all feel very pleased with the outcome of the re-shooting, and feel that it made the thriller a lot better, even though we did like some of the parts before we re-shot them, we feel that from the feedback we got we had to change them to appeal to the audience that we wanted.
