After today's session however, my fear that we hadn't captured enough footage has turned out to be true - we can only just put together about 2 minutes of the 3 minute film. I'm a bit concerned that we've used practically all of the usable material and it's still not even close. If anything, I will take this forward into my next project so that I will have a wide selection of shots to choose from and enough to make the film the correct time. Another good point is that although we have different shot styles, we perhaps needed to use a more varied approach in specific scenes; for example, we have a long shot of the pebble on a road and in the edit we could have done with a close up too, which we hadn't thought of during the filming process. In future projects, I will definitely get more shot types of the same scene than I think I'll need in edit because not only does it help when trying to create pace in a piece of work, you never know what works and what doesn't until you try it and it's better to get more than you need than to be stuck with too little for a final project. Having said this, I am positive that the narrative is clear and our aim of portraying a stone's journey through Edale is communicated in the rough cut we will show to Esther on Thursday. Hopefully with some feedback we can expand the time of the final project to show in our presentation.
