2. Initial plot of the film
• Initially, our film was to be filmed from my point of view, with me,
as well as Ben and Aimee, being characters in the film.
• However, whilst filming we stumbled over frequent problems with
the camera angles and shots as we did not get the effect we first
imagined. With the film being from my point of view we were
limited to just the point of view shot and so could not add in the
different camera angles and shots to develop the film further and
highlight our knowledge and techniques we knew we could display
in our filming.
• So with this in mind, I decided to take up solely the role of camera
man and was no longer a character in the film, leaving Ben and
Aimee to act whilst I was camera man, helping us to gain the best
effects we could possibly have for our film.
3. • In making these changes, this also allowed the
audience to gain a better understanding of
what the film consisted of.
• If the film had ended with me dying, as it
initially did, then there would have been no
real carry on for the film as the character of
whom the film was based on the perspective
of would have died.
4. Plot
• As the films storyline was initially based on me being a
character in the film, we had to change the films plot.
• Going from 3 characters to 2 characters, we decided
that the ending would now change, leaving the film
with a shot of the killer leaving the crime scene and
following him face sideways to reveal that the film will
carry on and that this would not be the end of the
killers killing spree., leaving a chain of events that may
occur. This will give the effect on the audience that
suspense has been created, and that now they have
got a taste of what the killer is capable of, they will be
left feeling constantly ‘glued’ to the storyline, in
suspense that the killer could strike at any moment.
