Difficulties encountered when editing

Health and Safety concerns

One of the most prominent health and safety concern is definitely the fact that a glass has to be smashed during the flashback and violent scene. This can be hazardous as the environment we are filming this is an enclosed kitchen.
In order to overcome and deal with this hazard, when smashing the glass we planned to make sure Callum was back as far as possible in the corner of the room, and all the other actors stood behind a closed door as he threw it. We also made sure everyone was wearing shoes to avoid the risk of getting shards of glass in people's feet. As soon as the glass was thrown, we got a broom and swept away all visible pieces of glass, and then hoovered the whole floor to collect any remaining shards of glass which could be dangerous. This was also the last thing we filmed, so that there was less of a risk of anyone stepping on glass during the other parts of the filming.

Second shooting

Callum King- Below are some headshots for the actor playing the role of the abusive ex boyfriend. He is dressed to dark colours to symbolise his dark and violent personality, and as for makeup, we used some foundation, concealer and highlighter in order to stop his fact reflecting light and looking shiny on camera. We also used a slight bit of dark eye shadow under the eye to give a more deepening and scary dimension to his face, in order to create a fearful effect on the audience.

Changes to the storyboard

 These are the storyboards I drew in order to fit the changes to the narrative that we made. These new storyboards fit in amongst the rest of the storyboard previously, and we have just replaced the attack scene,

First shooting

Ben Howse-

Ben Howse is the councillor for the first scenes in our film opening. In order to make him seem more like a professional councillor we made the outfit smart with a dark black suit and tie, but then made it slightly more casual with a simple grey v-neck jumper in order to make his look seem more comforting. We also had to make him look older, and so we added glasses and gelled his hair in a slick back manor to seem a lot more professional. We also spent a lot of time on his makeup, by adding some dark foundation and powder to make his face seem clear and less shiny when on camera, to give a good quality look to the film. Dark eyeshadow was also added under his eyes to give the impression that he was older, and we took time drawing on a beard with eyebrow and eye makeup, which also added to idea of him looking more professional and more mature.

Matilda Hale-

Tilly was the main actress for our film opening, and this is a headshot of her before adding the bruised makeup.

As we had practised the bruised makeup previous to the initial filming, the makeup was very quick and precise, which was important because it meant we had a lot more time for the actual filming. For the bruising we added some subtle purple and red eyeshadows under her eyes and more prominently on the right eye to indicate the audience that she has been involved in a violent  attack from the very start of the opening. We also added more shadowing the collar bones to give the impression that she is very run down and obviously effected by the attack. However, we did not want to make the makeup too obvious and bloody like we had previously, because this would give the impression that she had not tried to cover up the injuries, which a lot of domestic abuse victims do, so we added some foundation, concealer  and mascara to give a more realistic feel to the makeup.

Makeup for the first shooting

For this video, we set up our camera device (iPhone 6) and used a camera setting called 'time-lapse'. Time lapse is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured is much lower than that used to view the sequence, meaning that everything is speed up by about 10 times. This shows the development of the makeup for the first shooting, which took around 45 minutes in reality.
