Finished Filming!!!

Today we completed the reshoot of False Pretences and we are all really excited and pleased with the footage we captured.

Exteriors;
Luckily, the rain and gales subsided whilst we we filming the sequence in the alley (although we still needed to juggle multiple umbrellas to protect the camera!) In fact, the weather actually worked in our favour as it created really good pathetic fallacy; the grey clouds and steady dizzle suggests a looming 'danger' and a sense of 'gloom'.

Interiors;
We managed to capture a number of really dynamic shots in these sequences. I am especially proud of the way in which we have integrated the titles into the of the protagonist, as they subliminally contribute to the progression of the narrative (they demonstrate, in more detail, the protagonist's investigation).
To ensure that we had a broad range of material to manipulate in the editing process, we shot each frame a number of times, using different camera angles and movement.

Overall, I think we have filmed a much more sophisticated, dynamic and interesting openning that definetely show cases our ability far more effectively than our first.

Now we just have to focus on editing our shots together, which we will carry out in our Media lessons, free study sessions, lunch times and, if required, after school on Wednesday and Thursday. However, if we manage our time effectively, I feel that we will be able to complete the final product with out staying after school hours.
