Having re- uploaded our footage onto the Mac and showing our teacher, we had been advised to re shoot the entire sequence with the exception of one or two shots from the bath scenes. The reason for this was that we used zoom too many times, and this took away the realism of the shots. Due to this we have been banned from zooming, instead we must position our shots prior to the recording of the actions.

Another thing we were advised to do was to not have the actor writing, because the handwriting was too informal and the shots were too long. Therefore as a replacement we decided to use a love poem book instead of a scrap book, and possibly have a picture fall out of the book as the actor picks it up. Our next task will be to find a love poem book, and think of possible shots to use.

The drink idea has been discarded because it was highly cliche and the actor did not look old enough to drink. Although, we thought it would show his neglected life, we then realised that it did not fit in with the narrative. However, we wanted to keep the audience's on the girls that he is seeking vengeance upon.

We will also re shoot the couple shots, because we used zoom in those too. We have reconsidered our shot positions and have discussed which couple would be best where and why. We have to re-schedule the shoot and we may have to change locations, but we will still have the same actor , James. This shouldn't be too much hassle as we were able to start fresh.

Overall , the re shooting of the footage was a beneficial experience as we were able to have our teachers advice on what we needed to do and how we were going about doing it.
