Short Films: Group Discussion

On the project Trapped the director had decided he didn’t want to re- film a second edit all that had changed was a second cut from the beginning because some of the shots were too dark for example when he is running round in the room down in the cellar wasn’t clear enough to begin with but the camera operator and the director re-filmed this particular scene. As a group we thought some of the scenes were not as well as they could be shot and could be made to look more realistic but the director decided he didn’t want to re- shoot so we already had our final edit.

In the other projects Pause and Kids and Pranks, we were all contributing in both of the projects so we arranged dates that we could all meet up which first began with the 3^rd June which was cancelled because the actress in Pause short film she was also a camera operator in Kids and Pranks was not very well on the day. But also Daniel the director of Pause told us just before we couldn’t use the current location we used before at his to film this also effected Kids and Pranks because the actor John was the main character in that film. As we had many problems we had to delay filming to the 6^th June.

We then planned to film on the 6^th June which didn’t go to plan either because Daniel the director of Pause said again we couldn’t use his house as a location that once again affected Kids and Pranks for the main character. We were going to film in another location but the directors came to a decision that they didn’t want to re-film for a final cut because they couldn’t get a location and didn’t have the money to travel to the location.
