Recent progression

In order to develop my short film I went back to my original storyboard and developed a shot list that I could work from. This proved extremely beneficial for me as it meant that I had a clear understanding of what it was I had to achieve each time I went out and filmed. Therefore, meaning that I was able visualise what the final product would look like, along with all the necessary aspects of camera, mise en scene, editing and sound.

Once I began filming I realised that it was crucial for me to include symbolic signifiers throughout the text so that it gave hidden meanings throughout. This meant that the audience were able to recognise the ambiguity of the text and make assumptions about the feelings of the dominant characters. Through including this symbolic aspect it meant that I was able to introduce specific representations within my text, for example what it means to be beautiful in today's society.

I decided that it would be beneficial for me and to the narrative of the text to include another actress to make it more engaging and increase the current amount of time which I am currently working from.
