While editing the film, I noticed that there were several scenes which did not appear to fit together as well as we had originally hoped. I also thought that our film lacked pace. After some careful thought, I realised this was because I was stretching out the shots to make the film longer, while we had an overall lack of actual footage. This was despite the fact that we had shot several hours worth of footage, because much of it was actually unusable for various reasons.
Therefore, after lengthy discussion with the group we decided that we would have to film more footage, as it was the only way to achieve the effect we desired. Although the Christmas holidays are upon us, we decided that the extra effort required to find another video camera and assemble the group in our own time is worth it if we are to make our film to a good standard.
Of course, the extra shooting will also require careful planning if we are to make the most of our time and be as efficient as possible, so more on this to come…
