Black Widow Version 3

Black Widow Version 2

Rehearsals

We rehearsed our script on the days of filming so that we knew not only what the actors were doing but also how the camera would be positioned and we could see what angles and shots might look better so that filming could be as efficient as possible once we had started. 

Raven Hearst also had a rehearsal (of sorts) when we first shot her scene. Although we changed her script slightly and the location changed she had previous experience of being Raven Hearst which made it easier for her to get into character and provide the best performance. 

As for the Camera Work, the Preliminary Task could also be counted as a rehearsal as it was a chance to get used to the camera and practice shooting from different angles and using different aspects of the Digital Camera. It was also important because it meant that we could all try and use the camera and decide who would be the best to film our final opening scene. 

Version One Black Widow Improvements

To improve our first version of Black Widow we decided we needed to adjust the colour grading to make it easier to differentiate between Raven Hearst and Detective Berkhart so their storylines wouldn't merge together and be confusing for the audience to watch. 

I colour graded the different shots so that Detective Berkhart's was warmer and higher key and Raven Hearst's was colder and lower key, this made a visible difference and was a vital improvement as Black Widow now makes complete sense. 

Another thing that I had to correct was the title sequence because our titles were in a strange order. The order that I have arranged them in is this:

Actors Names

Production Names

Editor

Producer

Director

I feel that now I have corrected the sequencing of the titles for Black Widow it will look at lot more professional.
