New Filming/Editing Changes/Final Changes

Changes:
The main changes are based around the 2 aspects of filming and editing, and this blog entry shows the changes we have made.

Filming: the main filming needed was for our new scene which was flashbacks into Hannahs past and the things that have traumatised her. We also filmed a new classroom scene because from the feedback we got, we found that the classroom scene we already had was too long. There was one other scene that we added which was CCTV footage of Hannah being beaten up by her class mates and now that we were adding more scenes it would mean that we would need to take out some of our previous shots/scenes when it came to editing.

Editing: The first thing we did when it came to editing we needed to make sure that each shot we filmed for the 'Hannah' flashback' was edited to make it run well and create tension. The shots we got for our 'flashback' scene were:

  • Hannah being beaten up
  • Hannah in the toilet acting mentally unstable
  • Hannah walking into a room and closing the door
After the flashback we added the shot of Hannah going back into reality after her flashback and the audience is left in suspense about what is wrong with Hannah? Why she is acting so strange? etc. In video editor we made sure that it looked like a flashback so we made the whole scene black and white-this would make it easier for the audience to understand what is going on and for them to find the narrative easier to follow.

We took out our previous classroom scene and added the new classroom scene because it was shorter and more focused on our main character. The camera work was also a lot better the second time round and worked well with continuity. When we finished editing, we added our production sign as well as the title of our movie 'Behind close doors' and made sure all sound was working well and everything was ready for our final screening.
