1950's Re-Shoot

We have reshot the opening due to issues we had whilst editing. We were unhappy with the way the footage looked when we were trying to piece it together to create a believable 1950s setting. The first shoot was fairly rushed as well so this time we were careful to make sure that we had ample footage to play with. In this shoot we tried to use more realistic props and professional in comparison  to what we had done before. We also developed the opening more than we had beforehand, including the addition of dialogue.

Crucial changes we made to our opening - 

1. We made an adjustment to the outfit that Katy was wearing, we removed the cardigan to give the more natural effect as she is in her own home. It also makes her look more vibrant as the dress is red with the original white cardigan it took away the effect of her dress. 
2. We also made a clothing adjustment to Taran, the outfit he is in is more formal now and the hairstyle is more fitted to the time period we are looking at. This change in outfit definitely makes a difference to the way the shot feels when you are watching it. 
3. Change to several props, we added a more old fashioned looking radio that look better in the close up we are using it in as well as also changing the cake we used to a bigger size so that when it is thrown it makes more of an impact as well as having several more angle of it hitting him so that you can see the whole scenario. 
4. As I mentioned before we added dialogue which we will use subtitles for as we aren't sure whether or not the dialogue will be effective on its own. We can also have a go at finding a suitable font for this. 

Although we have made a massive improvement to the original footage we had the opening we now have is longer than and takes more time from the song, which is only around 3 minutes long and we have a lot of footage to fit into it.
