change with film storyline.

i have decided to change the storyline of my film because we lost alot of the film during the process and it doesn't make sence with the original storyline if we dont do the filming all over again. we don't really have enough time to re-do it all. i have decided for the film to be about a girl who feels she is being follow but really it is all in her head, her thoughts haunting her.

Reflection For Production Task

We didn't really face any problems during the planning process. maybe a tiny bit of organization but nothing that had a big effect on the planning. We had a few time-management problems when we were shooting and most of the others were ahead of us with the actually film shooting process but we dedicated 2 lessons to just shooting to catch up. I think we used all the templates effectively which helped us. We didn't really use our storyboards when we began shooting, we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted and how so we just went off what we had in our mind that is very similar to what is on the storyboards anyway. We lost most parts of our film in the last week so our rough edit didn't include our whole film. we will need to re-shoot the toy scene when they cover the body and the doll comes close to the screen, this was a best part of the film so it will be essential for it to be re-shot.
