Filming Process
Successes: We were able to film on location straight away without any problems as to where we would film due to the test shots we did.
We had no problems with time management as we used our time effectively and stuck to our filming plan.
Hurdles: Trying to film the 'forest' without showing cars in the background was a problem.
Finding a way to make an 'old man'. Done with a curtain and a hoodie.
Acting difficulties. (Inexperience)
Missing a group member.
Editing Choices
We decided to do a dual narrative and to show this we cut between the young boy and the old man to show that they were happening at the same time.
The colour correction filters change the atmosphere and make the colours look less washed out.
The titles at the beginning fit in with the style of film. The other titles explain who would be in it.
