PLAYTIME

After extensive talks about ideas for our film we decided on a thriller based on a story of a young girl who is followed and shot while walking. The title gives a sense of mystic to the audience as the title can be interpreted in many different ways.

The whole group took part in filming the opening sequence but after reviewing what we had filmed using i-movie HD we decided that we wanted to take the film in a different direction. As a result Fraser with some help from myself put together a scene by scene plan which was later put into a form of a storyboard to help reshoot the parts of the film which we felt needed changing or improving. We felt only 2 of the group was needed for the reshoots (Sophie and Tyra) as there were tasks which needed to be completed E.g. changing the scene by scene brief into a storyboard.

When Sophie and Tyra finished filming the second take of the film it was then again reviewed by Fraser, Sophie and Tyra making the majority of editing decisions consulting me on the most important ones. While the editing was going on I was busy finding a selection of 2 films which were related to the themes of film which the group could use for the analysis of an opening sequence.
