First Draft Rough Cut

For our rough cut Charlie and I went out filming, Steven couldn’t make it unfortunately, for our actors we used to of our friends James Hall and Lewis Brown, our location was in Chalfont. St. Peter, all filmed down the alley near to the school. We went out at around 7 o’clock which we thought was a good time.


We took two cameras out with us so we could get the low and high angle shots at the same time, to do this I was sat on the ground underneath Charlie who was up in the tree, this was so I could get the low angle feet shots and Charlie could get the high angles. I think that it worked well as both of us held the camera steady and the shots at the end were nice and clear.

Problems with our rough cut:

1. The first draft of out rough cut was too short only lasting for around 20 seconds. This needs to be made considerably longer as the final version needs to be approximately 2 minutes.

2. The footage was too dark. This needs to be made brighter the next time we film. We will do this by maybe filming at an earlier time in the day or using torches as props in the chase. By doing this the shots will be more clearer and lighter.
