If I was to have redone my vampire film I would have tried to use a much larger range of camera shot’s in order to make are film seem more expensive and add make it seem as if it had a higher budget. also in one of my shots members of the public are visible this could have been avoided by filming on a set or panning the camera in a different direction I would also have tried to make it clearer to the audience that the boy (rob) used to go out with the girl Shannon. I could have done this by expanding the length of the short film by adding some short shots to set the scene to show they both used to know each other. I would have also liked to use some more extensive props to make the idea of her changing into a vampire more terrifying and supernatural. We would have also preferred to have shot outside in the woods at night but we were restricted by college shooting times to do it in a field in the morning.
Are piece would have also looked a lot more presentable if we were filming, it all in the same day instead of whether conditions changing miraculously we al at least tried to keep the same cloths so are film didn’t loose its authenticy.
Since we were outside we had very high key lighting which did not fit the atmosphere of our piece. We could have controlled the lighting by choosing to film it at night and by having a more expensive camera that has the capabilities to get a good picture at light we were trying to stick to key iconography of the vampire genre such as darkness damsel in distress sort of situation but putting a spin on it by having the woman having more power and overall more strength in the situation.
My piece only had a few diagetic sounds that shouldn’t have been their most noticeable and annoying sound was the wind going into the speaker of the camera this could have been resolved by rapping the speaker in a wind resistant material that would stop the sound from getting distorted.
We choose not to have any music in our short film to give it an air of realism and because music didn’t seem to fit into our film.
The editing sign of our piece was challenging I was totally new to the whole idea of editing and I found the concept of the whole thing very interesting. But hard to grasp I tried to make the shoots flow as well as they possibly could without it being to jittery or distorted but by doing this I had to change the layout I had of my story board inorder for it to make more sense. If I could have re edited my piece I would have filmed my film differently because I didn’t realise how easy it was to use camera tricks to make things seem as if their happening.
In Conclusion I think are group did a good job on trying to create a vampire short film I think if we were given more time and money to fully customize are film to the way we all wanted to create I think it could have been a huge success.
