In order to find out what our target audience thought about our film, it was felt necessary to create a questionnaire in order to find out and change our film according to what the audience think of it and how it can be improved.

Final Film Edit
Over the past few weeks, as a group we have been working on editing our film. We have gone through many processes to get to the point that we are now at, however we did not do this easily. We had many problems with the software in which we were editing our film on. Several clips of film went missing and had to be re found which was time consuming. However we managed to work well together as a group and ensure that we finished our film edit, to a standard that we are all happy with. We also encountered some issues with sound and them being in the wrong place. However once more our group managed to overcome this issue and work together in order to resolve the problem.
Overall I feel that our film is really good, it includes everything that we wanted to include and together looks very professional. We have had some good feedback about the opening sequence which reassures us as a group that the work we all put into to creating the film was well worth it.

First Film Edit
As a group we are working together to edit the film fully. We have each taken it in turns to do some editing and therefore have managed to edit the film well. This is our first edit and is continuing to be improved.
After this edit we will all go over the film and see where we need to make small changes and ensure that everything is working well. By doing this we can check and be sure that our project and the end product are as good as physically possible.

Filming day three- Scene One
Today we completed all of our filming. We managed to get to the location quickly and at the correct time we all agreed to meet. This meant that we were able to get filming quickly and do it in the time that we set ourselves. We were all fully prepared with all of the props that we needed. This then meant that we were able to set up without any problems and get on with filming as quick as possible.
We did encounter a few problems when working out how to film the running feet scene. We were not sure of the best way to film it so we had to do a few experiments in order to find out which was the best way. This put us back in our schedule slightly which meant that it took longer to finish filming.
However overall we managed to film successfully and finish all of the filming that we needed to do. We have now finished all of our filming and continue with editing our film. We are working well as a group and ensuring that we are organised.

Day two of filming- Scene Two
Today we filmed scene 2. Scene 2 is the couple arguing in their house over money. I feel that todays filming was even more successful than mondays filming session as everything went to plan, we managed to film and get some good shots in under an hour. I also feel that we planned out this scene particually well as we all sat down in the morning and went through everything that we would need so that we could go and film and do it efficiently and successfully.
Our actors were really good, proving to us that our auditions were worth it and that we chose the right people. They brought real emotion to the scene and we could clearly see that they were enjoying the filming. This encouraged us as a group to continue filming and work hard to create the final film. I think that we are working well and all our planning and hard work is coming to benefit us because it is all paying off and our filming is going very successfully.

Filming day one- Scene Three
On monday we filmed scene 3. Scene 3 is the staff room scene in which the nurses are having a dicussion about the escaped patient and the troubles that it will cause.
We had several problems with this scene as the original location that we wanted to film initially in had to be changed at the last minute because of issues with the location. The group managed to find a new location and create a very effective set in order to keep to our filming schedule. I think that this was a particular high point for our group as we managed to sort out and resolve the issues that we came across and made it work well.
We also encoutnered another problem that set us back slightly was that one of our cast did not turn up to filming on time which set us back by about ten minutes, however as we had all arrived on set an hour prior to filming we were fully prepared and organised and therefore were able to make up the time in filming and film all that we planned to film within an hour with time to clear up sufficiently. I think this was also a good point of our group because through the problems we managed to overcome them and make the most of the time and space that was available to us.

Shot List
To ensure that filming the piece is as easy and successful as possible the group created a shot list, which can be viewed on the group blog http://cvhs-jall.blogspot.com/2009/12/shot-list.html , so that we are all sure of the exact shots, their location, timings and which characters will be included in each shot so to ensure that the whole group is completely aware of what each shot includes. This will help us as a group to make our filming sessions much easier to plan out and understand as we have thought about every detail of each shot so we can film the shots straight away and not have to worry about the details when it comes to the filming day.
As a group we had a discussion about all of the different shots that we need to shoot in order to plan out every single second of our film. We all spoke about the shots and what we felt they needed to include, the length and other important details that will enable our filming to be even more successful.
I put my ideas forward to the group about the different shots that we will be filming and we included them in the shot list. We had to compromise so shots as the group had different ideas upon what should be included however we all worked together well and managed to create a shot list that we were all happy with.
