3rd Draft with Improvements

All I need to do is add my name and candidate number at the beginning of the film and also the credits then I will have my final edit.

2nd Draft with Comments of Improvement

After my teacher had viewed my second draft he suggested that I changed a few things:

• the shot between 49 seconds and 1 minute 8 seconds sound had to be louder as the background music seemed to drown it out and was hard to hear and understand

• the shot when Bliss is walking into the house, the cut from the outside to the inside was a little delayed so I was told to cut shorter the outside shot for continuity purposes

• when the shot at 3 minutes and 57 seconds cuts to black, the background music continues into the next shot, to improve the shot my teacher told me to cut the music when it cuts to black and to have the next shot silent with just the dialogue from my actors, this is to create the suspense for what is to come in the later seconds

• I was told to remove the music which starts at 5 minutes 4 seconds so that the audience will feel the impact of the turmoil and emotional change my protagonist is facing from what happened

• the scene between 5 minutes 15 seconds and 5 minutes 33 seconds was too long and drawn out, my teacher suggested that to improve the scene I should cut the scene into four shots and to shrink them and for them to flash on the screen to show and reinforce the idea that my protagonist is in a state of turmoil and distress

• when the screen turns to black at 6 minutes 13 seconds the affect I wanted to create from the spectator didn't quite work, as they wasn't as shocked as I wanted them to be, my teacher suggested that I should cut to black later in her dialogue i.e. just before she reveals the name of James' mistress so that it creates the shock and alarm 

Editing Update

The filming which I did over the weekend went well and on Tuesday 29th January I put what I had filmed onto the edit suite and started editing.

On Wednesday 20th January after some hours of editing I have finished my second draft of my film and I plan to upload it when I have the chance.

Filming Update

I have booked out a camera between 24th and the 28th January to re-shoot my film.

A situation has occured which has led to me recast the role of James. Instead of Nathan Alcock, Alex Cheeseman has been cast to play the role.
