A few things


Through looking over my footage there are a few things that I have picked up on which I wasn't planning for! One thing, would be Ed's socks! In a few of the shots his socks are on display, which really don't go with my whole 'timeless' theme! They are odd, for a start, very colourful, and one of them has a skull pattern! It would take a lot to re-film these few shots - trying to find a time where both me and my actors are available, and keeping all the costumes and everything in the same position in order to avoid poor continuity. But I have come to the conclusion that I think it would be okay to keep it the same. Looking back at the shots, nothing really seems as 'timeless' as I wanted it to be. My house is a little too modern as a setting, for example. However, I still like the idea that the characters dress smartly and classically, even if the surroundings are modern, as it gives my film originality through confusing the audience with the time period. The fact Edward's modern socks are on display will add to this confusion.

As well as this, there are also a few continuity errors I was inevitably going to pick up on! However, luckily these can be resolved without needing to re-film. One, is during the lounge scene, whereby the door is open one minute, and closer to being closed in the next. However, I did a lot of shots around this point which are not necessarily needed, and in a lot of them the door can simply be cut out of the shot. This is the same with my other continuity error, where there is a tripod in the background (bottom left-hand corner), this too can simply by cropped out using the cropping tool on Final Cut.
