Filming Blog: Reshoots

For today’s blog I will be detailing what we did after our last blog, the peer review. Initially going into the peer review and submitting our product for viewing, we knew that it was not the best or to say, final version of our film. We really wanted to reshoot some scenes to get better quality ones. When the other group looked at our film, they also noticed some minor issues in our film. For example:

Just.a snapshot of the car crash scene above reveals some issues. First, interior light in the car is quite an eye sore in the scene. The brightness of the light not only takes away attention from what’s going on in the scene, but is also desaturating the focus of the camera. Another aspect that we would like to improve in our scenes is the acting or more specifically the line composition and delivery. We found that the dialogue of the film could be better if we would have prepared more and written an in-depth script to memorize off from. This is not a huge flaw since acting isn’t that important to the quality of the final product, in this type of film, but more fluid dialogue would only improve the film. We plan to continue our reshoots. For now, we’ve been talking about how we could can our music selection for the film. However, that’s for the next blog.
