Changes Made Along the Way

When we were planning our film, editing and also when we were filming, there were some subtle changes that we needed to make. The first change that we made was the brother’s name. He was originally going to be cast as Jack, but we changed the name to Ben so that we could use a door name.

The next change that we made was the poster. As you can see in an older post, we had three different posters to choose from. The first one that we made had a picture of Maddie standing in front of a house. The house was black and white and Maddie was the only thing in colour. The general feedback for this was that Maddie also needed to be in black and white as she looked a little out of place. We made this change and this gave us our second poster. We then showed this off again and people preferred Maddie being in black and white, but they said that she needed to be a bit smaller as she looks out of proportion to the rest of the poster. We also changed this and then we showed off this one. The feedback was very positive and we decided to keep this poster.

Another change we made was to do with the boyfriend. Originally we was going to cast him in towards the end of the film opening but we thought that it would be hard to portray him as the boyfriend and it might leave the audience very confused about who it was. Instead of using this we decided to use a different shot. We thought that when Maddie ran outside, she could see and car and a general pedestrian to disappear to give it more of a dramatic feeling to Maddie and we hope that this was portrayed to the audience.

When editing we made some changes to the sound. When showing off the first draft of Alone. We received feedback from classmates and teachers. Our teacher Mrs Field said that there were too many shots of Maddie walking up and down the stairs. She suggested taking one of them out as it could make the audience lose concentration. She also said that when the title of Alone appears, it looks like there is a light flickering in the background. This is what we wanted to get across. She said that we could put a light bulb flicker to make it more obvious that it is a light.

When we were putting on the titles, one of our classmates had an idea that the title could flicker out like the light in Alone. It would also make them individual and more interesting to look at instead of a boring fade in and out.
