Discarded footage

In our film opening we had a lot of extra footage due to filming from several angles and many mishaps. We also had extra shots we thought of while filming that were not on our storyboard but do feature in our film opening. The Calendar shot  is one example of footage that was on our storyboard however, could not be replicated to the desired standard during filming, and so was dismissed from our film opening:

As you can see, we attempted to create a straight on view of the calendar and depict the OCD girl's hand marking off the date for the next day. This however, failed as we caught Gina's arm in the background holding up the calendar that was very unstable.
Gina and I, while shooting our film, made the decision to include more shots of the rebel sister as we believed her role was more significant than we originally showed on the storyboard. We filmed different shots of her on the stairs (cutting out the front view) and changed where her name in the titles came up to a new shot, near the very beginning, depicting the rebel sister falling through into the bedroom the morning after a night out partying. Here is a shot we filmed and decided not to use:

Even though it felt as though the hand held camera added to the rebel sister's personality, the change in continuity felt out of place adjacent to the stable shots before and after this particular shot.

There were also a few extra shots we filmed and decided not to use such as this shot beneath, depicting the OCD girl scanning her jewellery before picking out a necklace. We thought, even though this shot depicted the girl's OCD well, we would not use this shot, as the camera was visible in the mirror and overall, the shot was not very stable.




As you can tell, we uploaded three of these videos from youtube and one from the computer straight onto blogger. From our previous youtube issues, we found that uploading videos in general was much quicker at home than on Apple Macs, we also found that getting them onto youtube was much faster at home too. However, because we didn't have the footage at home, we had to email each video to ourselves before we could get access to them outside of school. This was a lot of hassle, because even uploading them to an email sometimes failed to complete.
