It was interesting to see how our film progressed. During the shoot all three of us contributed to the how the shot was to look. As director I feel I took on the leading role in what shot we wanted to produce. Fiona followed directions very well in terms of set design and Maz pointed out each flaw when I tried to achieve something to ambitious.
During the edit the bulk of the picture edit was done my Maz and Fiona and I contributed constructive criticism at various stages. after the first rough edit we realised how much we wanted to develop the idea and went to re-shoot 2 scenes for example some of the fountain and water shots. During the first shoot my hand and foot had got in the way on one of two of the shots. this was on one hand very annoying but then again also gave us the opportunity to see the strengths and weaknesses of the shots we had got b4 re-shooting.
One very big problem we found with shooting was the last scene, which we filmed using 4 SLR cameras. We knew it had to be planned properly and only had one shot at what we were trying to achieve, however after looking back at the footage it turned out only 1 of the cameras came out with the right camera shot the others for some inexplicable reason came out to dark. This was very disappointing as we had planned to have the shots taken from 4 different angles and have a quick repetitive edit designed to shock the audience. I feel this led to one of our weaknesses of the film and that the film did not have the desired impact we had originally aspired to create.
