Film

After one final re-shooting of a particular scene, I edited my first draft for the movie opening sequence into the final product, I had many errors in the first draft which I managed to correct for the final edit including missing sounds and many other small errors, I recreated many sound files for the sequence as horrible background noise could be heard, something that is removed in the final edit.

Below is my final edit of the opening sequence

I feel like from my first draft to the final edit, I feel like the movie has progressed substantially into something which I feel I like, unlike my initial edit. This whole project has really brought to light the importance of time scheduling and when and when not to film and has really helped me amplify my skills in creating movies.

If I could improve my movie I would definitely reshoot all of my footage in the daytime, removing the horrible film-grain effect which is seen due to the camera not being set up for night-time recordings. This is something I will look into in the future and how to counter these issues if I have to ever film at night time again.

Reshooting

After finishing my first set of footage, I edited the clips together into something that I personally did not like, this caused me to have to go and re shoot the majority of the opening sequence, this is because I couldn't get the same people to act who were in the original shoot so for continuity-sakes I started filming from scratch: The only issue is. Being winter I didn't have much time to film in the day so I had to film night scenes.

Above is the original footage with no sound. I had an idea for the main character to look behind the camera but when we came to recording the specific scene, it just was poorly executed, something which I very much hated with my footage.
