2nd attempt of filming

So the following Wednesday, Kameir and I came back to my house to re-shoot the shots needed to make the film better. But because we were unable to find the sheet with the shots we needed to re-do, we decided to re-shoot the whole film together.

It was very hard just being the two of us, as I would be filming and directing whilst Kameir would act;but we were very focused as we realised that is was very important to finish the film at a better quality. Also we felt we needed o re-record as in the first shoot Kameir was wearing obvious gold studs, but was not the second time round; so it was also to ensure continuity as well.

We changed some shots we used to make the match cuts more realistic, for example when Kameir is walking from the bedroom to the bathroom instead of having a shot of her back going into the bathroom we changed it to a shot of seeing her walk into the bathroom head on. just the slightest change appeared to look alot better than the original.

Overall the second filming did go alot better, we also did the establishing shot during the evening which set the mood better than during the day as it created tension. So now we had better footage to use the following day, we also learned from our mistake and watched any footage recorded .
