This whole video did not go as well as I hoped it would, for a start the camera angles were not the ones we were supposed to do and secondly the idea for our video was a terrible plan. Then when the editing came we edited over part of our video by accident and secondly someone decided we should have a Katy Perry song in our video background.

We had to improvise with the location of our script allot because in the script we were meant to be driving through London and then we had to rob a bank and die from gun wounds from the police. So in the end we decided to have our location in the woods and just sit on a log and read out the script using cool camera techniques in the video shots we took. Me and Jack both played roles on the script and Charlie came into our group for the day because we were missing our other group member. Charlie was the camera man.

Because there were no gaps in the script where only one person was talking for a majority of time we decided that all our shots should be two shots so that the audience could see what was going on with both the characters at all time while they were making conversation with each other.

Because we changed the script to the two characters just sitting on a log talking the whole time we had to make up for that with the camera shot techniques, so we used some shots such as high and low angle shots, zoom in and out shots and panning shots which all worked really well with our script.

We had done an original film before this one but it was unfortunately filmed over by someone. I was not o bothered by this because the film we shot after looked a lot better. Things that I would have done to improve the video would be possibly more action or movement coming from the characters who were just sitting on the log because it did look rather dull and we could have used a lot more camera techniques if we had.
