1. Making the necessary improvements
to our work.
• We then set to work on improving our piece to the
highest quality that we could reach within the given time
scale.
• To do this, we planned how to refilm at times that would
suit our actors. We also had to try and revolve this time
around our other subjects and their needs.
• I found social media to be particularly helpful in this
process as it allowed us to contact the necessary people
and arrange the filming and editing times consequently.
• On the next slide is the schedule of how we achieved
this.

2. Date
Filming/planning/editing
What we achieved
Monday 16th
December.
Initial screening
After our initial screening we made a detailed list of improvements that we
had to make.
Tuesday 17th to
Friday 20th.
Planning
We spent the week before half term planning the improvements that had
to be made and really preparing ourselves so that we would be able to
promptly start filming and editing when we came back to sixth form.
Monday 6th
January
Filming and planning
We firstly planned the costumes for our characters that we felt needed
improving from the initial screening. The main piece of mise-en-scène
had to be the hat, which provided an American feel. Following this, we
experimented filming Patrick in the alleyway in the new costume of a
green jacket and a white shirt.
Tuesday 7th
January
Filming
We filmed Kell without the hat and a much less American feel was
provided.
Wednesday 15th
January
Filming
To try and collect the opening footage for our film opening, we filmed the
scene where Patrick washes the knife. This provided to look very good
when we uploaded it and turned it into black and white with only the red
blood standing out.
Thursday 23rd
January
Editing
We spend this date really bringing together all of our footage together,
editing it and looking at what we still needed to film or refilm.
Monday 27th
January
Filming
To try and make ‘the boss’ character more mysterious, we refilmed the
scene where Kell talks on the phone, framing his hands and hiding his
face.
Tuesday 28th
January
Editing
We analysed all of our footage and put together everything that we had
into a roughly cut video. We also made lists of what we had left to do.
Thursday 30th
January
Editing
This time was spent brushing up our final video and adding effects on it to
make it the high standard that we were aiming for.
Friday 31st
January
Editing
Deadline day- We spent the last day really working hard on making our
piece a high quality. We asked our peers to look at our work and give it
feedback that we could work on. We felt pleased with our final piece and
how all of our hard work managed to bring it together.
