Today I discussed with my mentor, Sharon the shoots I have done so far as I felt clarification was needed with what I thought should be re-filmed. Even though I
I wanted the 1st shoot to be re-done due to the change of background throughout each video clip I filmed. We looked through these clips again and came to a realise how the use of the black background looks much softer with the projected image on the face.
I also wanted to re-film the 4th shoot because I thought that the model looked too unnatural. Again though, after reviewing the shoot we looked at the character's reaction in a different perspective. I will consider still including her in the film as I may just be overthinking how she appears as an actress. I am going to start editing her in but if I am still unhappy with the outcome I may have to result in reshooting for this character with a different model/actress.
We also discussed the idea of men being included in the film. This idea was suggested to me the beginning of my project but I had put it to the side. Now that it has been brought up again, it does seem like it would be a good addition to the film as it opens up the idea of men's reactions rather than just women's to films.
I think what I have learnt from this session is how to make decisions. I definitely feel more sure of my work when I ask for other's opinions on it. The fact that I thought I had to reshoot the Moulin Rouge character and Sharon disagreed instantly made me feel different and more positive about the shoot. I am going to continue to ask others opinions on this shoot as at the end the day they are the audience and I want them to be content with what they are seeing in my film. Although I know I am always open to ideas, rethinking about including men's reactions in my film has reminded me to not dismiss past suggestions when they can be just effective within my work. I am going to take this idea and rethink whether it is the best decision to include it though as I do feel there are some cons that could come with including men i.e. how many more characters, adding extra time to the film which could result in it being too long.
