Bussing exercise.

Planning:We first started the process by thinking of a bussing sequance that we could easily film with the number of crew we had and the enviroment we were placed in. Once we had an initial idea in our heads of what we wanted in our bussing sequence we began to plan what we wanted to see. This envolved writing down the shot types we wanted and what the character was doing at the time. If I were to improve this process I would be more indepth with the planning, being clear about exactally how we would move from one shot to another whilst focusing on the character and the action with in the sequence.

Execution: The execution of the sequence was harder then we first thought. This was because we found it difficult to present what we imagened in our heads through the camera. We found our selves using a lot of film and taking more then one take on each shot. If I were to change anything it would be to take a wide range of different shots to give us more choice in editing but also block through what we wanted more before we started filming, in order to make sure we got exactly what we wanted.

Editing: When all the filming was finished we began to edit the shots we had in order to transform it into a horror sequence. We cut and moved certian shots inorder for our sequence to flow and make sense, we placed shot reverse shots and edited the speed in which some shots where played in order to gain a greater outcome. When editing our film we realised that the person running behind the main character in the mirror wasn't clearly noticed in normal speed and therefore decided to have that shot played in slow motion to draw more attention to it. We then decided to cut to a reaction shot in order show the characters paranoia kick in. In order to improve this sequence I would work with the music more, enabling it to create tension through out the piece as well as adding a more unexpected, sharp and abrupt sound towards the ending as the villan is revealed in order to get the audience jumping in their seats.
