Petrified- The Final Cut


This is the final cut of our film opening. We have made drastic changes in comparison to our first cut. We used our old footage but also filmed some more adding the scenes of the character 'Jenna'. We filmed this footage between the 10th and 12th of March. Given the feedback we received from our target audience, we changed the film opening to the requirements of the audience.

Petrified -First Cut




This is the first cut of our film opening. At first we thought it would be suitable as a film opening, however after being given feedback and looking at it more that it seems more of a trailer than an actual film opening. Using the same footage, we can easily make it look like an opening with a few tweaks.

Filming

We started filming our woodland scenes on the 2nd January 2012. The weather was good for filming, and the natural light from the sun was enough to get clear shots however it rained the evening before causing the ground to be wet and muddy so we had to take extra care as we filmed as anyone could have hurt themselves. Whilst filming we had to do a numerous amount of takes on each shot, due to mistakes in which our actors had made or we could tell that it could be made better. One particular take we had to make was when I had to run up a hill, fall and then dragged down it by the murderer- that had to be done twice which was difficult seeing as I got all muddy in the first take which caused problems, however we did overcome it for the second take. It took us around 2 and a half hours to take our footage, which is reasonably good as I personally thought it would take much longer especially with us being amateurs.
