changes.

On Friday we submitted our first draft, in todays lesson Caitlin and I have been discussing our short film and have agreed that we do not like it or want to use it as our coursework project. We feel that the main issues are the clarity of narrative, after showing the film to other people in our class and our friends, it is clear that it makes no sence without us explaining the 'point' of it. There is also an issue with the actors we have used, although this was a last minute decision because a lot of people cancelled on us, we feel that the actors we have chosen are unrealistic and not fitting for the parts at all, mainly because of their age but we also feel that Theo's clothing is unrealistic.
We have discussed everything we want to change and have decided to refilm everything on Wednesday 23rd December, this is in the Christmas holidays. As soon as we come back to school we will use all of our free time to edit our film and make it the standard we all want it to be. We have until the 29th of January to get everything done, and we feel that this is achievable as long as we work hard. We have also been told that our animatics need to make more sence, and fit in with our actual filming, so we will be redoing these over the christmas holidays as well. We will also be making a new storyboard and a new shot list. Although this sounds like a lot of work we are prepared to do it after speaking to our teachers.
We have completed the poster, which will just need the picture to be edited when we have changed the actor, and the magazine review will be completed when we have pasted the artical into it, which we finished writing on Friday.
Today we were told that our coursework is currently a U grade and we NEED to change it, however we havent spoken to all of the group yet so are unsure how the other members feel, however we will be refilming regardless of their opinions, even if this means submitting something completely different to them.
