New Word: Additions

 Welcome Back! As we explained a few days ago the last time we spoke we had about a minute of content we needed to add to our film. We had decided to solve this challenge by filming a second day and give more content to put in the film. What content you may ask? Well we decided to add an additional minute of contextualizing where the main character is. We began with an establishing shot of the house where Marvin pulls in through the driveway. We divided it into 2 shots to provide variety and also give more opportunities for title cards as it was essential to include those. We then showed a pan shot of Marvin walking to the house and entering it, and cut to a shot from inside the house. We realized in the initial film Marvin has on an apron yet we never show how he got it, so in the last remaining additional scenes, we added 2 things. Firstly, we added a suit up scene. Here we had a shot of Marvin grabbing the apron and walking away. Next, we had a close up scene of Marvin putting on the apron from the front, followed by another close up of Marvin tying the apron from behind. The second and most important detail of all, was Marvin plugging the speaker. This is key as a big point throughout the film is showing how throughout the course of the plot the protagonist's reality is slowly showing more and more flaws. So by establishing to the viewer that certain actions occurred and unveiling later on they did not and only occurred through the view of the protagonist. This furthers the idea that the protagonist is an unreliable narrator and makes the reveal that much more climactic at the end. While at first we were concerned over the lack of film we had, in reality it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. By having a second day of filming we had given our film more time to expand and contextualize our character more. It was incredibly beneficial, but that's all for now, expect the final product very soon, but i'll catch you all in the next one!
