First Draft Rough Cut

Mairead and Charlie completed a great amount of filming in order for our first version of our rough to be completed. They filmed down an alley in Chalfont St Peter. They filmed at this location because our group had planned for the chase scene to be in a alley to add to the effect of the thriller. Charlie and Mairead filmed at around 7.00pm on the 28th of January.

Mairead completed the low down shots. She did this by sitting on the ground in order to film. This method was very effective because the shots were steady and clear. Charlie, on the other hand, completed the high up shots which consisted of the high angle shots. He did this by using the tripod and climbed up a nearby tree in order to get the correct shot.

Problems:
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.
