Technical and aesthetic qualities

I decided I needed a shot that bridges the gap between being in a built up area to the park, or rural setting.

However, I decided to cut this scene because there were people in shot which would break the illusion of Tobie being chased by a giant, but also that they are not reacting to the giant.

Having reviewed my film put together and editing, there may be a need to include a scene. My plan would be to shoot a scene using over the shoulder shot from the giant's perspective looking down on Toby. This would be an exterior scene to bridge the scene of Toby coming out of the college and the running scene.  My original film idea was to use a lot of perspective and yet I only really have 1 or 2 scenes that use camera perspective, therefore if I have time I would like to implement one more that fits the storyline.

Ideas and reflection about Audio

I recorded Toby's voice, who is the main actor in my film, to act as a voiceover in the kitchen scene. I felt it needed this because without audio it appeared empty and without pace and to give back valuable information about his character and his thoughts behind the job. it seemed just like an average, everyday thought process - a typical day in this life, except as soon as he goes outside it turns strange and surreal. I used it as a contrast to the later scene.

I captured 2 audio files of dramatic music: Carl Orff - O Fortuna ~ Carmina Burana and a creative commons track on free sound. Carl Orff wrote his score in 1935 so it does not have copyright, however I may need to check whether the recording itself is copyright free; this should not be an issue as my film is termed 'Educational'. This music would be perfect but the other is a back-up.
