Thurday 18th November - Deleted Shots and Why?

Deleted Shots and Why?









Pan of the coffee table - This shot was deleted due to its ambiguity and link to the plot. We took this shot to fill in space later on in the editing process. This also was initially planned to be a shot to set the scene and make the audience understanding where these scenes are set and what type of house and class these characters are from. However this shot became unnecessary and had very little connection with our plot.

Character Cage Shot - This shot was deleted because we didn't film this in wide screen. Also while she was singing she threw her head down towards the floor in anger (and character), this shot therefore, when editing couldn't be cut to anything else because her face, during her performance went out of the the camera frame. We planned to re-film this shot, and achieved the shot we wanted.

Character Wall Shot (Left Close Up) - We initially planned this shot to move to the beat, with Sophie's hair flying around as she sang the bridge before the main chorus. However whilst editing this shot looked very unprofessional and major continuity errors occurred. This shot has been abandoned. It will be replaced with other wall shots.

Character Walking,Stood and Running in the rain - This shot, due to the rain looked perfectly and could metaphorically represent the vulnerable character crying, however the filming was quite shaky, because we were concentrating on keeping the camera dry plus it wasn't it wide screen. This shot was quite spontaneous, we had planned it during our planning process, however it was obviously weather dependant. On our filming sessions previously, we didn't get the luck, therefore this should was abondoned and will just be replaced by Sophie walking down the street.

Character Corset shots - There were several shots with Sophie walking towards the camera, avoiding eye contact walking quite seductively, with anger. Plus another shot with her taking her corset off, and throwing it out towards the road. This shout would have increased voyeurism however unluckily this shot was again not filmed in wide screen and when we enlarged it on the editing software it became pixelated.

Character Wall Shots - These shots, unfortunately weren't in wide screen but also didn't have correct white balance property. This shot when placed on the editing software couldn't be edited to recover the original colour, therefore was abandoned. These shots were planned to be re-filmed and we achieved this in our re-filming filming session.


Above are the some examples of the shots above (in video form), plus other shots which have been abondoned or replaced.
