Post-production: Derange Action Scene Draft (Rushes)

*Excludes music. This is a very early and very rough draft which needs improvement in terms of sound and picture quality in the render process.


Production: Call for re-shooting

Since some of my shots have turned out shaky and the continuity between shots doesn't work very well, I've decided to re-shoot some shots, particularly the scene when Michael dies and the scene where we see Michael and Alicia for the first time. Furthermore I need to take some more shots of the landscape since these were the worst for being shaky and thus ineffective. Since I have the time to shoot more shots I will take this opportunity since I need to ensure that I make this film as good as possible.

Such shots include: shot 3, 5, 7 (boom pole shadow in shot), 8 (coat in shot), 9, 14, 17, 20, 44, 46, 47, 48, 49 and the moments when Alicia is screaming.

The weather and lighting will be considerable issue which may affect the continuity of my film however hopefully if I apply a filter it should help to make the scene look as if it was shot during the same day, at the same time.

If I can get the equipment, and the actors are available, I should be able to film this Saturday (24th Jan) during the same time I filmed last weekend, in order to sustain as much continuity as is possible.

Production: Power Supply

It's important for me to mention that when I was working on filming, the farmer who owns the land (filming location) allowed us to use a literal 'green' room providing heating and electricity which was a great benefit for the cast, as well as being incredibly useful as it provided me with an instant charge point for the camera battery. Yet again, when I film a second time I shall be in great need of this power source.

Production: Second Day Shooting

Today only an hour was taken out to re-create the make-up from yesterday and film the third scene from Derange. I added a slight filter as I recorded to make the difference between the third scene and the first and second ever more distinguishable. This also provides more ease during post-production (altering the colour and lighting already helps to create a foreboding atmosphere). I also took a few shots which I could possibly use for a poster.
