Bury Your Sins

When the task of written, filming and editing our own single camera film at first there trying to fit the film I wanted to write in the genre but not stereotype the genre or just follow the basic guidelines of it. When it come to doing pre-production paper work and planning what type of look I was going for and how I can get that across to the audience with the shots I chose. One problem I had with the whole filming process was I had an actor who called up on the day of filming, while I was setting up and cancelled so I had to cut parts of the script out and change the scenes that actor would have been in. The editing process took three to four days but that was mostly due to sound and the sound quality. In the scene where priest Alexandra talking to Giovanni Potere outside, the audio just picked up the sound from the landscape, in this case it picked up cars, that were going past, some birds and the wind from time to time so I had to have the actors come back in the editing process and record their dialogue to dub over the image. If I had to redo things it would to have a backup in case an actor doesn't show up and having to cut out scenes from the script. Another thing I would make sure I covered would be checking and watching back the scenes more to see if the shots came out how I planned. Also checking if the audio is at a good standard for editing. I would change the grave opening scene because it was harder to get across who was the main character and I feel in the scene there was a lot of empty space, this is seen on the office scene, when Frankco is talking I would have liked to go back and move the camera a little bit so the candle is more to the left and the character is more in the centre of the shot.
