We feel that the majority of our shots are steady but there are some with can improve on with a second shoot. We believe that all of our clips were well framed and we always considered rule of thirds and head room. We also have a wide variety of shots which are well framed. We used multiple angles in the shoot, such as canted, high, low, and a moving canted angle, showing a switch of sides. There is also multiple types of shots, like close ups, mid shots, long shots and over shoulder shots. As it is a horror film that we are making, we made sure to include many close ups.
Editing:
We believe that in the films for both locations, we achieved continuity editing. We edited both films fairly well, so that it flowed and was easy to watch. The editing also built pace and tension due to the music that we edited in, as it was very low and suggested dark atmosphere and fear. We used a couple of transitions like fade at the end of the Wollaton Hall to show how the character was fading away as she was becoming possessed and to show instability, as she did not know what was happening.
Mise En Scene:
We believe that we have well used mise en scene, as we effectively used doors, locations, lights and props such as old photos and a bible. Both of our locations (Wollaton Hall's Willoughby Room and St. Mary's Church in Wollaton) were used well to create fear, as they were relatively old fashioned, and we used dim lighting to create a more tense atmosphere and fear. We have used colours well as our character is wearing dark colours to reflect the dark surroundings. Our character is suitable for a horror film, as she conforms to the stereotypical character of a horror film, as most films have a young female lead. We think that our actress portrayed our character well, and her performance was extremely convincing through both her voice and body language.

After looking back over the clips, we think that our first shoot went really well. We believe we have used a variety of shots, kept the 180 degree rule, used shot reverse shot effectively and mise en scene well. We did have some problems with costume, as our actress had a hoodie on in the first location but not the second, which is a continuity error, and so it will not flow as effectively when edited. We are in the editing stage of the first shoot, and we feel that it is going well.
For future shoots, we could improve on camera focus and steadiness and continuity with costume.
Unfortunately, we have to make do with our shots from Wollaton Hall, as we cannot use this location again due to events being taken place there over the next few weeks. However, we can reshoot shots from the church.

The date for our second shoot will be confirmed within the next few days, and it is highly likely that it will be within the next week or two.
