Story Board

Although we stuck to our story board whilst filming, like all big productions this was altered slightly whilst editing. This was done in order to create the best possible film that we could make. This helped us match our given genre and made an overall British impression. Minor alterations included swapping scenes around for example, frame 9 was put in place of scene 7 in order to grab the audience's attention straight away and given an obvious indication of what our character was about. As we changed our clips around, we also needed to change the oder of our titles to what was proposed on our storyboard. We wanted them to appear and not to take attention away from the opening establishing shots.

Furthermore, when it came to shooting we discovered that some of the inventive shots that we had intended to shoot didn't work. For example, we intended for our character to hit the camera sending it spinning horizontally but when it came to filming it didn't give for a sophisticated shot. Instead, we hit the camera vertically so it ended facing the sky which made an interesting phase transition when it came to editing.

In addition, once we had filmed our newspaper title it did not create a very climatic impact as the image appeared very static. Instead, we had the idea of putting several static shots together in quick edits to increase the pace of the drama.

Another aspect of our production that did not follow our story board was a voice over of a news report. This technique not only made the fight scene busy and dramatic but also emphasised the tragic outcome of the event.

In order to enhance the concept that actual time was distorted we freeze framed two scenes - before going into the fight scene and after. This smokey, static impression helped the audience understand that time had reversed and come back to real time again. This was a suggestions given to us when getting audience feedback.

Whilst editing, we included various transitions that we hadn't predicted in our storyboard. This was to add interest to our film and help keep the pace.
