The Prisoner Final Cut

Here is our video which was made by the group and consisted of me, Craig Mullen and Peter Chivers. Throughout the production, we encountered a few problems. Some shots were missing which were so simple like actors entering the room or establishing shots which lack certain continuity elements (one including with me with my hands in my pockets but a second later I didn't). We also picked up a lot of diegetic noise when filming certain scenes s we had to think up a work around which we did by playing some music over the top. It in fact added a much better atmosphere to our film, creating a somewhat creepy and fearful tone as the character who is the integrator walks towards an apparently abandoned area which contains the prisoner. Also, our interrogation scene was nicely filmed by Peter which gave a very good atmosphere with the low angle, focusing on the prisoner while Number Two is in the background who is much higher to show the difference in power between the two. So overall, we did a decent job at filming our scene but simple problems like missing shots and less planning brought it down. It does however, show us what we need to improve on for our next project and make it much better then our last.

The Prisoner - Editing Process

We started editing our shots and sorting them into order of how we wanted our film to go but now we can see the various problems arise. Some simple shots are missing which have dramatically effected our editing but we are finding ways to reduce the negative effect its having on the project and some major continuity errors are popping up during cuts which are harder to fix without basically reshooting certain scenes. Still, you can't get it perfect everytime and we did give a good effort with some of our shots and acting hitting the mark. Tomorrow we will be finishing off the editing with fixing some of the problems we can and adding music to help increase the overall quality of the final movie.

Movie Progress

So far, we have taking every shot we needed for our movie extract and sorted through the ones we are using last lesson. In the editing process, we are focusing on getting all the scenes we needed cut to the desired length and will do the music and effects later on.
