Review - Leonie

Well the last few weeks can only be described as hectic! Along with illness, group members being off and a half term smack bang in the centre, the production process has been very slow. Though, during the last few weeks our group has been looking over the footage we shot as our final piece and came to a conclusion that it wasn't going to work and fit in with our theme at all. So, we took the half term to gather any ideas we had and try and figure out a way we can make this work.

Our recently shot footage will now be taken off and instead we are going to film in two days time during the day an interview sequence with our 'Personal Assisstant' to the main actress and 'Cameraman'. This will give two extra twists to the project: the idea of a relationship forming between the people mimicing the 'Producer' and 'Director' in the final scenes and another twist to the reality.

The reality will be played about with as during the other scenes, the main actress seems to fit in and is likeable but the PA paints a different picture. This will be shot in a documentary sequence also so that it flow with the rest of the film sequence. The two will be interviewed by a voice behind the camera and we will use improvisation for the answers, based loosely off the scripted questions. That means I will have to run down a list of possible questions and pick the best ones. However, I will make these loose questions because I know improvisation can easily be taken a different way to where questions are heading.

So, I am overall excited about our new idea and I think it will work much better than our other idea. Now that our batteries are recharged, I'm sure that we can pull this off easily!
