A big part for this week was changing the name of our production from the five syllable name of "Derogatory" to the syllable title "Hit List". We believe that our new title is much more catchy and representative of the narrative due to it mentioning a list of attacks, also known as a "hit list".
One thing that was quite an issue was the fact that our shots still had yet to turn out how we wanted them to. In particular, the hand held shots were the hardest to overcome. To solve this issue, my partner and I decided that we should turn our hand held shots into a much clearer and less jumpy one by using a monopod. This tool was very useful as it was much easier to control the shots and turn them into much more static versions of the previous ones. This allowed our film to run more smoothly when it came to us editing. The video below dictates how to use a monopod, with the pros and cons of it as well as what it looks like:
Another issue that we were faced with was the fact that our lead (and only) character in the sequence did not look particularly "angry" enough to portray his current emotions. This resulted in a re-shooting of these shots so that the correct image was given to the audience. Although this did take a while to complete (mainly due to the facts that we had never used a monopod before plus we had to double check each time so that it was perfect) we ended up being quite happy with the final result.
Overall, the issues that we had faced throughout this week were dealt with with ease and a quick pace. From this past week, we have both learnt to double check our shots to make sure that the connotations that we want to be presented are actually apparent, as well as there not being a bad shot involved. This includes taking extra shots just in case, making the most out of what we have and not rushing our production at all.
