Shooting location

We will be shooting in a couple of locations. We will also film in a back up location in case our forest shoot isn't very effective.

• A Forest or some woods
• A bedroom
• A backup location

We will be shooting on Wednesday at 17.00.

Animatic Feedback

We had a lot of mixed feedback from our animatic sequence.

• Good Shot range
• Felt very actiony
• Good use of close ups
• Hard to understand what was happening
• Music does not fit very well

We plan to try some different music and the music will be changed to fit with our sequence.
