Second Bussing sequence

Planning:

When planning this second bussing sequence we used story boarding to better our outcome. In order for this story board to be quick and effective we roughly drafted what we wanted to appear on the screen with in the box, drew the character movement within the box, the camera movement outside the box and the shot type below the box.

What made the story board so helpful and effective is that through this planning method we were able to see clearly what we intended the finishing project to look like, and this time was not depending on the image in our heads. This made the filming a lot easier, however if i were to change something it would most likely be the detail in the storyboard, I would most likely add more detail and make it crystal clear what my intentions for this sequence was, in order to encounter fewer problems.

Execution:

Due to our storyboard planning our execution seemed to be a lot quicker and easier with a lot less useless shots. However we due to the complexity of our sequence we found that we left out a lot of reaction shots as well as close ups as we had so much to do in so little time. Therefore if I were to change the way this was done I would most likely simplify our storyboard more in order for it to be more efficient.

Editing:

As this was now our second time using the editing software, we decided that we wanted to be more adventurous with the editing and therefore made good use of jump cuts, making the camera action seem jagged and from the perspective of the "thing". We also mixed up the order in which we originally pictured the shots to be shown in. We realised that we didn’t actually have all the footage we needed and therefore had to reverse some of the footage for it to make sense (looking out of the door). We also decided to use a montage of shots to show time passing as the main character was working on the computer. If I were to change this I would probably use fewer shots as it was quite time consuming cutting each shot as well as adding some eerie music in order to add tension and make the audience more scared.
