Feedback & Changes

Feedback
After receiving feedback from the teacher, it allowed the group to realise that we were focusing more on less important aspects of the opening instead of the essential parts; we were spending too much time focusing on a plot than the actual shots themselves, hindering our progress. Our planning was less specific and detailed as we thought, especially our shooting schedule meaning that it was more difficult for us to get along with the filming than first expected. Our opening has changed vastly since we created our animatic, and whilst this could be seen as a bad move as it meant we didn't have a series of images which we could use as a guideline, it allowed us to understand the positives and negatives with our animatic and develop from this. It was evident that whilst our animatic was clear in the shots we were going to use, it had too much of a plot which isn't what the opening to a film should consist of. With this in mind, we focused more on getting a good series of images than a plot.

Changes
New Character Profile:

Heather Casey
Age: 16
Unfortunately, as our previous actress was ill, we felt that it was best to change the actress as we needed to be able to film fairly quickly, and also have time to do reshoots as well. It made sense to change the actress to someone who is part of the group, as it would be much easier to plan and organise any extra reshoots that were necessary.
Female Protagonist
Elegant clothing - black dress, heels
Main character in opening, dominance connoted through low angles, close ups, and POV shots.
