Filming: Third Time Filming

Unfortunately i couldn't be there for the filming of the second draft, as i was away for the whole week of the holidays and the others couldn't do the days i was free. We were going to maybe try and Skype but this seemed to be something of great difficulty and in the end i had just called them up every now and again to check everything was okay and maybe try and have an input in the film. I no that the whole of the title sequence has been changed but this i think was needed as it will show progression and the journey that we have gone on to get to the final edit. I have seen the footage Oscar and Imogen filmed and it was brilliantly done, the mise en scene and make up was amazing as well as some of the new bits, dialogue and also the camera direction.

Planning: Re shoot

We finished our first draft for the film and showed it to our Coursework teach Mr. Ford to see what he thought and what maybe we should include/take out or edit. He suggested to us again that we need to redo the female torture victim as it's not very realistic and we cant compare it to any other Thriller/Horror movies that include this kind of reaction. She also swore to much, and by the survey we did as part of our research shared the audience thinks that too much swearing can ruin a movie and take away the Horror element of it. As well as this unfortunately the group has decided to shoot in the holidays of which i am away, however we are going to attempt and try an internet chat so that i can have some input and some direction to where the movie is going. As well as this we have had to change the location as the location we previously used is no longer available for our use this is the same for the protagonist actor and the second torture victim. However this can be sorted as Imogen luckily knows a friend that would be willing to do it at her house as well as two other torture victims and a protagonist who looks vaguely had the same look as our last protagonist. As well as these changes we decided to change the child to a little boy, and to add in more interaction between him and his father. Another change that we have decided to make with the torture scene is to add in more violent acts such as him kicking the female victim or maybe throwing something at her. We have also decided to show his head as this proved to be very difficult to keep his head out of the shot. It will also allow the audience to interact and no the protagonist.
