  Rough edit feedback: Positives : - Music is good at the start  - Links to Silence of The Lambs  - Incision part is good  - Vignette/blur adds to creepiness Improvements : - Shots are a bit repetitive, with character being shown stitching continuously  - Structuring the credits better — space, area, how they’re shown with the same shots and such  - A bit repetitive with needle scenes, may need to cut them out and make them much shorter - Needle weaving in and out parts are the most creepiest/eerie-like  - Building up the climax — scissors can be the climax part in the tailor shop  - Camera push-out/leaving from the character — to show their vulnerability  Verbal Feedback

An example of this was the scene above, as I c...

Adjusting to using a track Setting up the track took some time, as I had to place the poles together, and place the moving track item onto the poles, before finally setting up the tripod on the track. I first filmed some test shots and familiarised myself with the track and its setup before doing some trial runs. The test shots were successful and I mainly did test shots in a night-time setting and seeing how it differed from the morning/natural light setting. Afterwards, I filmed in a brighter setting and started actual filming.  polaroid behind the scenes of testing 2. Test shots and trial runs  The test shots and trial runs mainly were shots of the very beginning of my film, in which there's a tracking shot of the hallway and a tilt up to the main character sitting in their chair, whilst sewing an item of clothing. Majority of the trial runs were successful, with some needing to either be slower or faster in...
