Editing process

Here is a video of how further editing of the film took place:

First draft evaluation

Communication between our group

We do all of the group's communication through the phone app "WhatsApp". These are just some screenshots on how we organised the trip and the vehicles that we were taking to the dessert with us to record the film:

It's evident that we don't really have many issues (except my parents travelling during the recording dates) and we have distributed the cameras, props and all the items we need between all of the members in our group. This is a good thing to do because it applies pressure on every member of the group because everyone will now have to attend to the film recording in order for it to be completed. This also helps us not give one person too much responsibility over this project and it divides the workload between the three of us.

Deconstructing first shots

Deconstructing first shots 

   

In this shot we are emphasizing the size of this sculpture to show how big it is and to give some relevance to it. Starting from the bottom to the top at a slow speed gives more suspense to it and also makes the sculpture look more omnipotent. The sun being on top of the sculpture helps by giving the idea of the sculpture being so tall that scratches the sun.

This shot shows that the planet is inhabited and that there is barely any signals of life. This long shot also helps establish the scene that is about to take place. Showing the horizon in one picture from the point of view of a character can increase the feeling of loneliness and allows the audience to relate to the character that is going through that situation.

In this shot we show the wound of the main character and we don’t show the rest of the character, this helps emphasize  the relevance of this wound. The fact that we only the wound could then imply that the character has died because of this injury. And the injury being in a scratch shape implies that the character was attacked (and therefore killed) by a creature with claws that are lethal.
