AS G3: "The Final Shoot...Round 2 [3D]"

On Sunday the 2nd of February the group met for a final shoot at Isaac's Dad's flat. We knew that this was our last chance to make the shoot as perfect as it possibly could be, so with that in mind we set about (not so) speedily making the prosthetic that would replace the sloppy, cartoony "5" written on the wrong hand, and one & a half hours later we began the shoot.

This is a list of improvements we made:
  • We made sure to use a wider variety of shots
  • We included multiple track shots
  • We changed several fig rig shots to tripod shots
  • Georgia had a very keen eye for continuity (constantly forcing us to review footage to make match cuts in the edit)
  • We used a FAR better prosthetic "5" for his hand
  • We used conventional polaroid pictures for the "4","3","2" and "1" which we changed to "Bingo" to give the scene a sense of sick humour
  • We filmed the TV sequence, then filmed a TV showing the TV sequence
  • We essentially invented the character controlling the protagonist from afar, who we showed in polaroids and the TV sequence
  • The invention of this character led to the title being decided: "Overseer"
  •  We used a new, more bland remote
  • We left the house in it's homely state which enhanced character exposition and increased film time by reducing set-preparation time
  • We agreed on a typeface for the signs which seemed savage and exciting which is very conventional of the genre
  • We created a costume for the antagonist which included a plain suit, black tie and scary mask which hides the identity of the villain
