I'm very proud with the end result of the film, I am a big fan of horror movies and I think the story could have the potential to be a very successful horror movie. Some of the shots used as well as the music are very similar to actual horror films that make it into the cinema. The thing I would improve would include a team more willing to do two or three takes of shots, as apposed to wanting to be finished as fast as possible. I would have also shot the film later in the day, so It looked more like a horror film. I would have had the characters carrying props, such as sleeping bags and one of them carrying a tent. I think if these changes had all been made I think the film could have been more of a success.
If I had the option to make a film by myself I wouldn't have gone with the final idea we went with. I also probably wouldn't have done a horror film, I would also prefer if more of my group members were willing to act / communicate.
Making a film with limited resources and budget/equipment is always a challenge in itself. Filming later would do the trick but you would then have to have the equipment that could cope with low light filming.
ReplyDeleteAnyway a very good first effort well done.
