LO 2: Following Storyboard and Script

Prior to filming, myself and Lewis carried out a recce of the location to choose which areas to film which scenes, providing that it would be safe enough.

There were elements of the script that had to be changed due to issues with the location. For example we would have liked to have had Fear die due to falling off of a lift shaft, which is present at the location. However we deemed it to dangerous and we not able to put enough Health and Safety precaution measures in order to keep everyone safe. So we had to change his death into being left for dead as the character is paralysed with fear.

There were also lines in the script that were change to either reduce the amount of swearing or fit the scene more appropriately.

These pictures show the storyboards and actual shots from the film, representing that we effectively followed planning.

LO 4: Feedback from focus group

Both versions of the final film were shown to a group of students who had also been working on similar short films. 'Alter' was generally well received; however, they weren't too keen on the ringing sound at the beginning of the video, even though it was used for an intended effect. There were also criticism based on the audio levels; the first half of the film ended being much louder in comparison to the final scenes. In their collective opinion, they thought 'Alter' should be an 18 certificate due the excessive swearing, gore and vomit, but some agreed with our choice of certification as a 15 rating.

There are a couple of things that need to be added and 'altered' before the final version is completed:

• Add Music
• Editing tweaks
• Scene missing before death scene
• Video did not fully export, missing final scenes
• Issues with lighting and volume levels
