In these photos you can see that we arranged the books on the chest of drawers to try and make the room seem more therapeutic and calming. However, we should've moved the hanging love-hearts, the heater and the hanging ornaments from the wall . If we did that, then maybe the appearance of the room would've looked better and more like a therapy room.
Filming could've gone better if we had a tripod. This is the reason for the poor atttempt of a pan. However, despite not having a tripod, I improvised and did what I could. I made a makeshift tripod from the boxes that were in Joelle's summerhouse and piled them ontop of one another until the height was appropriate enough to begin filming.
For the other angles of filming, I had to hold the camera steadily behind each of their shoulders whilst they said their lines. I think I did a good job of staying still and there's minimal white noise which is ideal for being able to hear the dialogue. All in all, filming went well despite not having all of the equipment that was needed. We improvised and used our initiative and ended up producing some good quality footage that we will use in our thriller opening.
For our first draft edit, we managed to get all of the relevant clips in and add music. However, the music was added last minute as to make the deadline. Therefore, the video is over seven minutes long when it should only be two minutes long. In general, for a first draft, I think that the editing is sufficient and works well for a basis for us to work with. We need to refilm certain parts to ensure that the footage is of the best quality that we can produce.
Once we've refilmed, it should be easier to edit the shot-reverse-shot as the footage we have at the minute isn't good enough to edit effectively.
