The film was easy to make and filmed within the space of just under two hours. It was filmed in a quiet, upstairs part of the library, and the intro filmed just round the corner in a corridor. Our costumes were simple, we just wore what we thought the characters would wear. We ran the lines of the script a few times and began filming. We used a mixture of mid shots and close ups, to show the emotion going through the characters. We used one extreme close up on the books after the victim throws his books to the floor.
Rudi helped with most of the editing but the overall decision made entirely as a group. I'm very pleased with how the film turned out, especially as it was our first ever attempt at making a film. I believe we made the best film we could with the knowledge and equipment we had , although if I had another go at it, I would most likely change/ include.
A music soundtrack - After taking more time and watching more films in depth I have noticed how power full a musical score is to a film. It truly enhances viewing. It can help cause emotion as well as build up to a dramatic scene.
Professional actors - I believe we did the best acting we could, I have a certain amount of acting experience but I don't think Tom had any. With real actors I believe the film could have been better. As well as the challenge of directing the actors.
More rehearsal time - We only had a few minutes to actually learn the script, due to groups being changed and the limited time we had to film.
With all these changes in place I believe the film could be improved. In the next blog I will include the video of our film 'Bully' !
