Finished Product review

To be perfectly honest i am dissapointed with my final product, the weather meant that certain scenes didnt make sense, i personnaly didnt see much in continuity and realise this now, the original soundtrack got omitted due to audio issues. I think this was down to my poor allocation of time on the project, in future i will focus on my organisation as this piece is a reflection on poor timing.

Changes to the story

The story itself remains similiar although the orginal premise of a chase scene has been omitted due to complications with the weather, as a result the film has been shortened and we have replaced this scene with something we believe to be more dramatic. the scene is instead a straight run between the two characters with a dramatic cut. the scene itself is accompnied by rather dramatic music for effect.

Production Schedule: 19/11/12

We aim to have the majority of footage recorded on the date of 19/11/12 in order to allow us the time to use the rest of the week refining shots and inserting various edits.

Devised Scenario CHANGE

There has been a considerable change in the premise for my latest production, the original idea of recreating "Closing time" has been removed and instead we aim to create a sequel so to speak of the first production we did. For the title we are going to call it "The Prisoner: Reprisal". The story follows after the original and focuses on the son of the man who was captured in the original (Number 6).

Devised Scenario

The scenario itself is based on an old Drama Production that James Appleby
Has suggested to me, the Piece was originally called "Closing Time" and revolved around the setting of a department store, He has shown me that there are plenty of props that could be used aswell as scenarios in which expression of the understanding of continuety could be shown, aswell as action match moments. The Film will aim to reach high leveled standards and as suggested by the target grades on the media blogs, we aim to make it last for something beyond the reaches of just having one scenario where the characters could just converse once and be over with it.

The title itself is constantly changed and kept fresh, the people in this opening however are always doing similar things, its very enjoyable. The music is a perfect match and joins up with the situation, in terms of placement of names there are only a couple max in the opening
