On the day of filming we decided to change our idea completely due to issues with too many groups wanting to use the same location. Instead we decided to use the graveyeard as the setting for our film. Our aim was to create a flux in the audiences mind with regard to the outcome and message contained in the film. We did this by focusing the camera zoom on a specific name on a gravestone. Our actress(MG) was then filmed facing the name on the gravestone. As the frame panned round to the actress it showed the name on here file contained mwithin her bag, the same name as was on the gravestone. The actress then walks away slowly and somberly. This films causes the audience to be unsure as to whether the character visiting the gravestone is the ghost of the buried or a younger relative with the same name, and contributes successfully to the eerie feel we aimed to create.
I feel that this short film project was successful, bearing in mind that it was a first attempt. We achieved our goal in terms of what type of mood and thoughts we wanted to plant in the audiences minds. One small think i would change given a larger budget was a more intricate support system for the camera as the shot slightly shaky using a tripod without moving support.
