Changes made to storyline and title

Through talks with our teacher examining the rough cuts of our opening we found that our original storyline didn't really hold. The old and young man didn't look similar enough for them to conceivably be the same person. This changed the whole of our original  premise. However we discussed what was feasible considering the opening is 95% done and came up with the idea that the young soldier is the old man's best friend who died in the war. This would explain the PTSD and the flashbacks he was having, and would explain away how different the characters looked. Because of this we wouldn't keep the names we were playing around with as they all centred around the idea that the two characters were the same person (e.g. a War on Two Fronts). We came up with a couple of names to fit the bill including for example guilt and corrupt memory but eventually through lots of group discussions settled on 'Conscience'. We like this title as it incorporates the guilt, and flashbacks and eludes and creates suspicion in regards to the rest of the film.

Our Media Vlog

Instead of writing one massive post on what all of us done individually everytime, we decided that we would vlog our experience of filming and that making of putting it all together. Throughout the vlog it is shown what problems we encountered, how we dealt with the problems, what went well and so on. Due to the blog being so long as it was filmed everyday George made markers where each day is.

Survey: Audiences Responce

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DG7NVMC

This a survey we made once we finish our film opening, so that we can get an effective and easy memorized response as if we to make a paper based copy most people would not fill it out as well as it would prolong the process of the working out the results. The questions that we have included in the survey are what are group best think will give us the most relevant feedback that we need. We will then analyse the results once a good amount of people have watched our opening and stated their opinion of it.

We also need to get rid of Set Team and Location Managers, as well as everyone who is credited needs their full name one screen as it makes it look amateur and unprofessional.
