Feedback after Shot Discussion:

My group annotated Ben's script with how we would shoot the film. We then came together and discussed how we would shoot the film and why we choose to to shoot the film that way.

Outcome:

We took turns to discuss each others shot selection. Then went through page by page and gave our point of view of what we thought would work best. Our decision as a group is to use a combination of each others shots. For example we are going to use Ben's shots for the opening scene. We decided this because it is Bens's script and he knows what will look best as he came up with the original idea. Even though we went with Ben's decisions we also made a few changes as a group. For example we had lots of mid shots in the opening. We decided to put a few CU shots in instead. We then moved onto the second part of the screenplay. We discussed the shot types and went with Reece's ideas. We did change a few elements of his ideas but the outcome was mostly his ideas. For example, Reece had the idea of using the reverse shots when the two characters speak. After that we talked about the final scene which is in the main reception and classrooms. We decided to go with my first ideas of using a montage. We thought this would be good during the voiceover.
