Feedback on Second, Third, Fourth Shoots/One to One #4

After the bank holiday weekend, I showed my work to Liz for feedback.

She said that I had a good trial and error approach to getting footage, although I may need to invest in a video tripod if I plan on making more films, as there is some movement in the footage at Clevedon from the tripod moving in the wind.

I now need to think about writing my voiceover and editing. I'm thinking of having the postcard "Love, Pie" shot at the end as I feel it will conclude the film nicely.

  • There needs to be a reasoning for the order of images/ film
    • Opening - usually the protagonist is seen first (I'm the protagonist as it's my perspective and memories of Pie), it should give the viewer a feel of what the film's about
  • Usually most filmmakers know the beginning shot, not the end
  • Focus on getting a beginning and an end shot, there may be a need for a midpoint - in fiction films it's a realisation or event - for me, it may be a location or something that happened
  • In the narrative - will it be a personal first person voice, or a removed third person voice?
  • Do I write then build images, or build images then write?
