Changes Made, Final Filming and Editing

We had to make some changes as when we got to the location to do our filming, it took us ages to walk there we had less time to film. We filmed the most important parts needed, when we looked back at our last bits of footage we found that there was no sound (We had some slight problems with the microphone). As that part needed the sound because it was a key part to the story line, Me and Lewis filmed it again, as we were running out of time and travelling issues. Once we re-done that part and now we had sound. We uploaded everything we had recently filmed and started to put it together. We had some problems with parts we missed out and because of our time limit we had to cut down on the footage, we had around 2 minutes and 30 seconds off nearly final edited footage and most of it needed to go as we had the final clip to also add in.

Changes We Made:
So that we could fit all of the story we needed to give in the opening 2 minutes we had to decide what to keep and what to delete and what changes needed to be made.
We had to change the script (again) but we now know that this is the final. Instead of Simon and Lewis actually having a conversation and then Lewis killing Simon, we changed it to Lewis looses Simon and Simon gets away, Lewis then gets a phone call from a blocked number (a.k.a Simon) who tells him that his wife is going to die. Lewis then starts to panic and runs to try and help, he then receives a text from the blocked number, saying that he knows his wife is on a train. Lewis then starts heading towards the nearest thing relevant to trains he can find, so he finds the rail track. As he reaches it a train is going past, while this is happening we see shots of the wife (Me) sitting on the train acting normal being completely oblivious to what is going to happen. As the last carriage passes, we see Lewis looking stressed and helpless. The next shot is of the title RECONNAISSANCE, then the shot of an exploding train. This is where the opening 2 minutes now ends.
At first we were going to have some shots of Me texting Lewis saying I Love You and then after the train passes him, he gets the text just before it blows up. We had to delete this because of time issues.
We then found that we still had quite a lot that needed to be deleted, so we went through the shots and shortened them as much as we could, we then fit in out 2 minutes time limit quite comfortably.

Our last issue that needs to be done for the actual practical work is the sound, We are still searching for possible music and are struggling to find some suitable for what is happening. We want to have fast music for the chasing and then sad/sincere or building tension music for the train blowing up. The music at the moment is more important but if we have more time we would like to have a sound of an explosion over the top of the last title to emphasise the fact that the train is blowing up.

After many problems with weather, equipment and choosing the right story to stick to we have managed to keep up quite well.

VERY FINAL SCRIPT:
(Phone call)
Simon: Your wife's gonna die.
Lewis: Your not going to get away with this.
Simon: Watch Me





New props after the changes we made:



iPhone: We now have an iPhone in our opening sequence which is our only prop.

Time management:

We will need to finish editing and then do our evaluation.
