Yesterday, me and Kirsty got to see our new footage on the computer. I'm very pleased with the shot of the four boys walking down the corridor as they begin in darkness and then walk into the light so we can use it as part of our 'spoof' idea. We looked at the two possible endings that we shot: the first of the dopey character Daniel walking into the camera, the second of the character Ashley covering it with his hand. We both preferred the second as it gave us a totally black screen which we were then going to place the text 'Science Boys' over. The short collection of shots we got of each character individually look good and we have a range of camera angles in there too which we needed. My favourite has to be the one of Ashley checking himself out in the mirror as it is very comical especially when he picks up his science textbook at the end (look out for that one!)
Next week editing finally begins....
It might be worth, if you have the time, posting a comparison of your footage. This might illustrate clearly why you thought that your initial attempt was weaker.
