Re-Filming

Also in today's lesson we made a list of the shots we must redo and why we feel we need to redo them.

• Zoom in on dress - this shot is good as it works well in the sequence, however we need to get it to be more smooth as the shot we have of it is a little awkward and unrealistic.

• Establishing shot - after watching back the original shot that we have to establish the whole film we do not think it is good enough as it seems a bit nothingy.

• Close up on Ruby's phone call - our whole idea is that we only show close ups of the main female character until the big reveal at the party so that the audience feels as though they are seeing her for the first time with Michael (the main male) and one of the shots of her on the phone reveals too much of her face and so does not fit into our idea.

• Opening the door (arrival of Ruby) - the shots we have of Ruby walking to the party are when it is much lighter outside and so it poses a continuity problem as when Iveta answers the door to let her in, it is suddenly extremely dark outside and so does not work.

• The reveal/arrival of Ruby - this is a very important shot as it is the first time the audience properly gets to see Ruby and so it must be perfect. The shots that we currently have for this are not good enough as in one shot she is looking at the camera and in the other the camera suddenly jolts just as we are about to see her face.

• Putting on shoes - this shot is not good enough as the lighting seems some what orange and also the shoes are not framed correctly in that they aren't in the center and are cut off toward the top of the frame.

• Blusher - we all really liked this shot, however we are using this shot before the girl has applied her eye make up, and in the shot she already has eyeliner on.

• Michael shots - generally we just need more of these.
