The shoot

My role in our shoot was a helpless victim in a kidnapping case. I am one of the three who is seized out of the bloom from 'my house'. The location and the actions I do is supposed to suggest that it is my house. We have filmed most of our work but we are finding that we are runnig out of time because our rough cut is supposed to be in done for Tuesday and supposedly we are not supposed to filming after the rough cut. Thursday we thought we could do all the filming. The last kidnapping which requires a little time becaue it is quite complex, the room where the victims are put in and the the last shot of Daniel(the kidnapper) walking away and ripping a picture of the friends he had kidnapped. We thought if we could be done with that on Thursday, then we could edit as much as we could on Tuesday, show it to the class then carry on with the editing and soundtracking. We have limited time and getting slightly frustrated and tired of people not showing up. Steph and I then concentrated on titles and editing the film shots. We also need to upload the test shots in our blog. If Daniel can not make it for Tuesday then we would film our other friend who is willing to help. If Colette can not make it then, we would try and find another girl who is willing to help as well. We realise it is a must to finish because the editing needs a lot of time as Steph and I are perfectionists and we would want to try to make it perfect. It all depends on what happens on Tuesday because some of us have been let down a lot.
If I had to change one thing it would be everything. The whole plot of our thriller because a kidnapping has been done countless times. An original idea would have been good and fun to do whereas you know what it's going to be like for a kidnapping. If it was completely original then the ideas would be spur of the moment and could most likely get away with any idea, for a kidnapping, one is slightly limited. Although we had original ideas, it's like we were too afarid to venture into them so we stayed in the safe zone.
But now that we have good ideas, we could make it an interesting thriller opening but if we could only get the filming done it would be fine.
