Filming Mid-Point Evaluation

After the initial filming of the opening of my movie, I have decided to make a number of significant changes to the way I shoot next time and also the plot of the movie. I feel as though my initial filming did not work out the way I wanted it to for a number of reasons. Firstly I feel the plot of the movie was too unrealistic in terms of it was always going to be difficult to find somewhere that resembled a laboratory, and the substitute location I chose was not convincing enough to be used. Secondly, the way I filmed the shots were not up to scratch as I did not consider enough some aspects such as lighting, variety of camera angles and mise-en-scene. When I finished editing the shots together I also found that it was about 20 seconds under the 2 minute mark, so I also need to add some more dialogue to the movie.

For the next time I film, I will have to consider the things I previously did not pay enough attention to, a lot more than I did before. I will also have to re-write the script to better fit the resources I have available to me. I will keep with the thriller genre for my movie so that my previous research is still relevant for me.
