Reshoot: A Problem

After we got our feedback from our peer review we knew we had to fix a few things. The peer review for us was beneficial because we knew we needed to do reshoots. Reshoots help the film become better and you are influenced by the audience's opinion. Reshoots also help because you re-thing your film. We rewatched it in a different way. As in not watching it for pleasure and excited we finished our first draft of our film. But in the view of what do we need to improve on and fix up. We re-analyzed our film and looked at which parts we could insert a new clip in, or if we rather reshoot a scene we already did and fixed it. We needed to add more angles and one critique was to get more shots of the "blood" on the character's hand. We took that into full consideration about which lighting we needed as well as where it would fit into the already filmed scenes. 

There was one problem, however, we didn't seem to find our fake blood. This was an issue because the one thing we needed to fix was to show the fake blood mark on her hand more. We figured we would improvise by taking red pen and marker and making a darker like circle around the palm of the same hand. We figured since the shot is only about 2 seconds of a close up that the change in color and texture wouldn't be noticeable. I like to think of the situation like when Hollywood movies use a stunt double and you can tell it's not the same actor. It makes us feel more comfortable that we know these problems with props happen in real life as well. However, this is the only real filming problem we've had this whole project. We think the improvise is the best we could do and we all tried drawing and smudging marker on her hand. Hopefully, it looks good and the audience can't tell the detail. The first re-shoot was interesting but after we figured out the problem we were on our way with filming again.
