Pre-Shoot:
I wanted to very much intend for the film to look like a very rough piece of work however presenting a different array of shot types and still maintaining a high standard.
Shooting:
As mentioned in my previous planning post, I wanted to include elements of the natural world such as unworldly creatures and magic realism. Therefore whilst I was in certain areas of Manchester and Birmingham, i shot footage of bizarre sculptures which represented the creatures i wished to integrate into the narrative of the film.
Editing:
It became evident during the editing process that due to practicality reasons, I was unable to use the footage shot in Birmingham and Manchester. This was because the footage at those locations was shot during the day, and the film was finally decided to be shot a night as it fit the narrative of the film much better. I attempted to manipulate the footage to make it appear as if it was shot during the night however this effect was not convincing enough and looked very out of place to the rest of the film. I then decided to use items and statues around the location of the actual shoot, in Nuneaton town centre and have the main character react to ordinary items as if they are from other world to compensate for the missing of the original concept. If i had more time to shoot I would have defiantly reshot the originally intended footage as I wanted to reflect on the Czech New Wave movement which I have been studying, as much as possible. I did however emulate the Czech new wave further in the editing process,for example I used different coloured filters for certain individual shots which resembled the technique used in certain scenes of "Daisies" (1966)
