Long shots

One of the problems brought up in the response was that some of the scenes were too long, and became somewhat boring and lowered the tension, so we added in some more reaction shots of Kira looking panicked, which hopefully solved the problem.

Music

This was a point of contention between members of our group, as each of us had a clear vision of the sound that we wanted to use. The beginning was decided before filming, as the music was exactly what we wanted, so that wasn't the problem. The problem was that during the running shots we couldn't find the right music, we knew what we wanted, but we couldn't find one that fit, or decide on which one was the most similar to our vision. We eventually decided, but after it had been added we realized that our choice didn't work in the slightest, and we scrapped the sound. We finally found the right music, which was a mix of tracks, and the opening came together.

'Elementary'

I found this article about gender roles and race in CBS's Sherlock Holmes adaptation, 'Elementary'. It was extremely interesting, and deconstructed how changing the gender and race of Watson (from British Male to Asian Female) changed the dynamics of the characters from previous adaptations.

Reaction to our rough opening

We had roughly finished our editing, and we showed the result to our class, to see what the picked up on to improve that we had missed. We are hopeful that all the issues brought to light will be easily solved!




Sorry about the quality, It was filmed on a phone, so there was nothing we could do...

My review
This show was amazing. The premise was one that I had heard before, so, despite many gushing reviews I was not excited to watch. However the shots were so brilliant from the very first second, the atmosphere so intense that I was hooked. There is no doubt in my mind that the shots and music are virtually unparalleled in any T.V. show I have seen in recent years. The acting was also extremely compelling, and very real, as many scenes were shot in one take, with no rehearsal time. I absolutely loved this series, and I will be watching the second, although it will not be able to rival the first as this is a show that only really works once, due to the suspicion being placed on virtually every key member of the small coastal town.

Blip in the title

Unfortunately, there is a blip in our title where the font flickers for a second. We have worked extensively trying to correct the problem but we couldn't find any reason why it should be flickering, and therefore couldn't fix the problem.

Recording sound

We folied our sound over the top of our opening, as it was the sound effect of a phone ringing and a busy message which did not record well, as the sound was coming  through the phone, on the initial filming. We also added the voice answering, as it was also coming through the phone, and we needed to get the timing exactly right to match with Kira's reactions, which was easier to do during the editing process.
