Refilming scenes

As Fabiha filmed all scenes for the girl and I filmed all the scenes for the boy we eavh had o refilm some bits to make the scenes as accurate as possible in terms of angles, framing, types of shots and mise en scene. Here are the adjustments we made.

After Fabiha's first attempt at of filming the girls scene she was really unhappy with the work due the tripod and also timing therefore, She decided to re shoot the whole section again. as she got the opportunity to do this she wanted to change a few things around to polish tings up a bit.
In order to improve from her first shoot, she wanted to really focus on the props. she wanted her actress to look more feminine because she realized that she cannot really show her class status in the very beginning of the film as that would give away the whole film. she wanted to emphasize their social class through the setting rather than their character.
As you can see she has changed the bedsheets. In the first image the bedsheets were more red and had more print on them; when she first shot this she thought that it would be good the red could symbolize her passion and ferocious character. However, she then thought that this would give too much away as i am only filming the first two minutes and i didn't  want to give everything away. So in order to tackle this problem she changed the bedsheets she wanted pink to emphasize her girliness also used something much more simple and elegant. she thought it would be more safe for her to conform to the stereotype. Moreover, to really emphasis her femininity she thought a high angle shot would be vital to use instead of a long angle mid shot. In addition, when she looked back at my filming she realized that there wasn't much light  in the footage this reduced her from looking all naturally angelic. As she wanted her to be as natural as possible she knew that she could not use artificial lighting therefore she tried to use as much lighting as she could gather, she filmed this later on in the day when there was more light coming in the room giving us the illusion that she is much more sweet and innocent and the environment is more welcoming in her room.

Before putting my project on Final Cut Pro I was looking through the boys scenes and was not happy with my work therefore decided to film the boys scene again.  After getting feedback from my teacher she told us that we need to focus on the boy by using more extreme close ups and really emphasising his mis en scene. We then re-filmed and made sure that we focused on extreme close ups also the mis en scene making sure that his gender and class were explicitly being portrayed in a negative light. Moreover, we filmed the establishing shots of the boys area and the girls area and planned on moving back and forth in both areas emphasising the contrast. We can clearly see how the faming in the first picture down below is not straight. It is slightly titled and it is well noticible. It is not accuurate neither it is a good shot that is why we decided to delete this scene and film a ifferent scenes. We tried refilming this specific scene but because we was ssitng on the stairs i cold not use the tripod to record a steady shot due to how low he was. The tripod was not low enough. The second picture shows the new clip. The framing is really accurate as the tripod was straight and on the level. It is not tilted like the one before and the lighting is also much clearer and better.
