Inhabitant: Successes and Failures
Our production was successful in many ways. The use of jump cuts made the production effective as it created a sense of realism and took on the role of "found footage". The first shots showed good lighting and use of space, however the success decreased when we were taken into the still establishing shots as they were poorly filmed and lacked good quality sound. This was then continued into the attic scene, however this can be justified as it suppose to recreate home camcorder footage, which usually has poor quality sound. The acting overall was at a success as the main character Lisa showed a realistic perspective, however this lacked in the other character, Ellie. Editing was mostly our success in this production,as we inserted time and date font in the corner to resemble camcorder footage, and also the use of distortion when we are introduced to the "demon", as the frequency is shown to interfere and the low battery symbol pops up on the screen repeatedly. However,back to the sound issues, the dialogue was poor when in the attic, as we should have re-recorded the sound, as the water tank in the attic was very loud and varied volume from time to time, this was evident as the sound cut out when Ellie was speaking. We can learn from this mistake and grow when it comes to filming and creating a feature length trailer for A2, the successes and failures that occurred will help us initiate a stronger production next year.
