Finally in a session with Jo Saunders we were all asked to put our visuals from the storyboards that were made into order from the filming that had been done. Firstly on the storyboard was a mid-shot of KATE lead in the bath the audio for this clip would have been water running, and the duration for this clip would have been 10secs. Although that clip went along well and I was so chuffed with myself! Because I had done that bit then I started perking up thinking yeah, no problems this will be fine.
The next three clips where supposed to be of JAKE in the bathroom he would slide open the bathroom cabinet door to retrieve his toothbrush, when he had finished doing so and slid-close the bathroom cabinet door their Kate would appear. This separate scene would have lasted for the duration of 30secs (approx) but I couldn't find the film to edit the clips and import them into the rough cut.
As the main protagonist was JAKE playing the part of a love sick boyfriend of a dead girlfriend who died because she committed suicide. a lot of shots were taken so then we had a variety to then chose and refuse from when it came to making out rough cut and final cut.
Doing this took up a lot of time because we then decided to use different camera angles and time frames although we wound up mostly using mid-shots and long-shots. We wanted to used more filming to annotate the story line as opposed to JAKE or KATE speaking. we wanted the film to be self-explanatory this also meant that we had to take the lighting and the audio clips that we were going to use into serious consideration.
A mid-shot was used in the graveyard scene to add extra authenticity, and make it more dramatic, we then used a considerable amount of time on this scene instead of using just a snippet or snap-shot. nearer the end of the film we really brought together the full story because from the beginning not everything is clear but by the end of the film all the pieces of the puzzle fit into place. the last three shot conclude of JAKE no-longer being able to cope and he then takes an overdose.
i feel that this is a smooth modern cut of a Romeo and Juliet love sick story. although it is quite short and sweet the point, subject, and imagery has been done so the purpose has been put across clearly.

This is a good account of the filming. You have worked really well as a team and produced an interesting film.
