Re-Shoot

Our re-shoot happened on Friday 5th March. During our media lesson we got a lift from our technician Chris up to my house to shoot two shots that we realised we needed to re-shoot after working on our final edit. These two shots were:
The picking up of the briefcase. In my opinion this shot really needed to be reshot becuase there was a light meaning we had to cut the beggining of the clip which meant the character jumped a bit. Also there was a shirt hanging out at the back which didn't suit the character.
The shadow shooting shot. This needed to be reshot due to the fact that the guy's head falls into shot without a wound from the gun and trying to cut his head out just didn't work.
Therefore we had to practice the make-up the day before on my hand. Natasha was responsible for the make-up as she did GCSE Art and in my opinion she did an amazing job.
Earlier in the morning Chris had bought all the equipment down to my house so when we arrived evrything was ready to go. We shot the head wound shot first and took three takes, with the blood dripping further down my face in each one. It was quite a challenge to shoot without getting any blood on the sofa however we managed to do it and it looks a lot better. One issue might be the fact that, to reduce mess, we didn't run the entire shot three times and instead went from when my head hits the sofa which might mean that matching up the shots in editing will be hard, however only time will tell.
We then completed the briefcase shot, which, apart from a brief reflection of the light in the glass in a few of the shots and a continuity error with the drink, went well with at least one take which was error free and looked good.
This re-shoot completes our shooting and now we have all our footage. We are continuing work towards the final edit.
