2. STRENGTHS
-We all worked hard in our specific roles and communicated well within a group.
-Good location (Josh’s house) and availability. Low budget for our film.
-quite complex structure and use a motif for symbolism.
-The connotations of the shots, and thought that went into them is a very positive
aspect of our film.
4. LIGHTINGTO CONNOTE MEANING
Through use of lighting and positioned
shadow we were able to connote themes
including Amber’s entrapment and her
boyfriend’s power in the relationship .
Connotes that he is distant in the
relationship yet overpowering.
Prison cell bars- Isolated
5. SOUND DESIGN
We wanted to convey Amber’s Isolation and paranoia through the sound scape.
We re-recorded connective sounds (such as doors, tv/radio and general atmos) to
ensure continuity
Use of Non-digetic ambient sounds for emphasis of Amber’s mind set.
We also used sounds from archive sources- Audiomicro for
SFX, incompetech/mobygratis for music.
Equalising and editing frequencies to match editing pace.
6. PRODUCTION DIFFICULTIES
Location- we had to change our original location plan.
Time limit was a big problem for post production.We had to cut a lot of the scenes
down and also some scenes all together.
Re-shoot- didn’t have enough time/ some shots didn’t work and needed re-
shooting.
One of our main actors ‘Dean’ could not drive.We worked round this by the
different use of camera angles to hide this problem. Also Emily (sound recordist)
drove the car instead, which meant that we couldn’t record the sound.
The weather- effected some shots, due to the sun and also we had to block out
the natural light out of some shots by using black cardboard on the windows.
Time schedule for the actors-We had to film two different days due to their
availability.
