After showing our roughcut film and getting some great feed back we have decided to post our video to youtube and annotate changes that are needed so people can get a rough idea of our final product.

update and scripting change
With the deadline closing in and the easter holidays for the next two weeks we are going to be cutting the timing short to reshoot. Im currently waiting for one of our cast members to confirm and then we should be filming with the next few days.
While looking for ways to improve our film i started to rewrite the very start of our film.
Instead of having a bystander acuse our main characters of murder and them running we decided that we should have the main villian threaten the girls. This will add suspence and give a valid understandable reason for the girls to run.

After getting some feedback i decided i wanted to improve our media film. One of the first things we must think about is making sure the shots are interesting and aren't to long, for example we have a running scene with wasn't very unique or particularly held the attention of our audience. I have decided that looking at the shots and filming of chase or running scenes from well known movies would help us to fix this.
The Train Spotting running scene is very impressive, it is shot in a way which holds the audiences attention. There is a variety of different camera shots and the editing was very quick sharp jump cuts which kept the action and speed of the scene. The shots weren't all medium of long shots like our attempt, for instance at the start it swaps from a closeup on the face to a shot of his legs which also allows you to see behind, by swapping backwards and fore wards they kept the scene and speed flowing. There is also a Point Of View (POV) shot with was again very short and was cut into the scene with straight jump cuts.
I hope myself and my partner can use these techniques better now we have seen them done well. I plan to include a lot of the same shots that are in this scene in my media piece.
