Main Edit (1) Reflections

After we completed the edit of our second shoot, we went through it shot by shot in order to see what needed changing, so we were prepared for our next shoot:

Shot 1: Too shaky, should hold on Yssy longer at the end, work on framing- having less space on right hand side.

Shot 2: Turn bottles around, no product placement.

Shot 3: Make sure no product placement with objects we see in drawer.

Shot 4: Two strokes for blusher, looks unnatural.

Shot 5: Unnatural stroke of blusher, work on speed- bit too slow.

Shot 6: Light in bottom left corner, continuity of where she places blusher-make sure its the same positioning in the next shot, decide where the focus should be

Shot 7:  Buy new lip gloss, so drip is accentuated.

Shot 8: Apply lip gloss to whole of bottom lip, be careful where it is placed, mind the corners of the lip so it doesn't look messy.

Shot 9: Work on the turn movement, should flow more, either decide on no head tilt or a more subtle head tilt.

Shot 10: Continuity of head tilt and smile, make sure what we see in the mirror doesn't include unwanted stuff like lights, and stuff on the bed.

Shot 11: Slower movement of the hand, work on how the ring is put on so it looks more natural, have the fist clench more central of the shot.

Shot 12: Dust on perfume, make sure all the bottles are turned around to avoid product placement.

Shot 13: Make the shot closer up to focus on perfume spray, take the hair all the way round to the other side instead of just to the back.

Shot 14: Too dark, add a light at the front.

Shot 15: Experiment with angles, to see what is most effective and not dis-orientating to audience.

Shot 16: Work on movement of camera, make outside dark by adding black paper to windows, clear stuff in hallway, hold the camera on him looking at her at the end for a bit longer. Maybe have him closing the door for continuity later.

Shot 17: No changes needed.

Shot 18: No track of camera needed, hold still.

Shot 19: Continuity of door (one shot closed then one open).

Shot 20: Use the tripod instead of handheld as shot is a little shaky. Conversation slightly unnatural- Yssy should stay looking at him when talking, then go to turn around, see him checking his watch, then turn around to re-assure him in next shot.

Shot 21: Grainy- work on lighting

Shot 22: Work on framing- have more of her in mirror, maybe have shot closer up to focus on his speech.

Shot 23: No changes needed.
