CONSTRUCTION/EDITING: RE FILMING AND EDITING GETTING READY SCENE

To ensure continuity and high quality in our film work we chose to re film these two short scenes, as the feedback we had received after viewing it, was that it had not been of a high enough quality and that the footage lacked visual variation. Previously we had found that the footage was out of focus and there was a problem with consistent costume. So we ensured we had the correct costume and made use of our nearby location of Amber's room. We used camera angles we hadn't used before to make the scene more visually effective and interesting. 

We used a Pan to display the protagonist applying her makeup, this type of shot allows the viewer time to see the protagonist debating which makeup to apply, suggesting she cares about her appearance and loves the idea of beauty and attraction. We then used a crane shot to clearly display the protagonist on her phone playing with her library card and lying and lying next to her book. 

We used close ups to highlight important props and moments in the scene, such as the library card and the phone. We did this by using a zoom, going from the protagonist lying on her bed to her hand fiddling with the card, as she is discussing the boy she me at the library, making the connection between the two.

We wanted to find a way to not just show the protagonist the whole time, whilst she was on the phone and so we decided to use cut-away editing, to show both an extreme close up of the protagonists mouth mouthing "I'm so excited" as well as a shot from before of the protagonist and the guy together in the library. 

To conclude this scene we have a cut to a mid shot of the protagonist fully dressed in a smart red dress, flicking her hair over her shoulders, ready for her date.

Today Amber and the rest of us to assist and offer opinions started to edit the "getting ready scene".

We experimented with cut away editing, we placed a clip of Bryn flirting with Aggie onto of the scene where she is talking to a friend about her date. We did this in order to show a connection between the two, making it very clear to an audience that Aggie feels hopefully and passionately about this guy. 

I made an Emaze to document the filming and editing of the getting ready scene:
