Shot list changes

We thought we had a fairly good final edition of our shot list on our blogs but we decided that it wasn't precise enough compared to our new edition of our thriller production. Our final shot list, as seen earlier on my blog, is 13 posts long whereas our new shot list is 38 amount of shots which shows that we misjudged how many shots we were going to have to take during our thriller production. Our new, reviewed shot list has added a lot more to our film as there are loads of new angles added in which allows the audience to see the reaction and emotions protrayed on the faces of the actors. It has also allowed us to use over the shoulder shots and concentrate more on background through mise en scene too. For example, in shot 11, there is a lot of focus on the shadow that is creeping along the back wall that shows the audience that a key event is about to occur and builds the tension up towards it.

Our misjudgement is shown clearly in the fact that our revised shot list has so many more posts that have added so much more to our production. In contrast to our starting production, our final edition has a much more intense, uncomfortable feel to it because of the extreme close-ups of the trains that we have added in throughout. These also helped to mask any continuity errors that we had in our film, giving us a way of covering up any problems that we had during the filming of our production. We also have added in a backing track that adds mystery and a sense of depression to the film. Our new shot list also shows the new way in which we have re-structured our film. Our previous shot list showed us having all of our credits at the end and Annabelle's death and mourning scenes being at the end whereas in our re-structured production and shot list, we have the mourning happening at the start, followed by a flashback of how the death occured. Also, the credits showing the actor's names are now thrown in just before each actor appears and the other credits are put in, just like the trains, to mask any errors and also because it shows a contrast between the busy and bustling film and the cuts of the silence and words written on boards which I believe makes the audience feel uncomfortable because there is such a huge contrast between peaceful and busy.
