Difficulties with Footage

We have finally finshed filming all of the needed footage for our film opening. We made sure to overfilm but sometimes found that once at the editing stage the footage didnt work or could be improved. We went through all the different shots, eliminating the footage that wasnt good enough for the final cut. When doing all of this we found that many shots were too bright/dark and whole scenes had to be refilmed because of this problem. However we managed to find the time to re-film thse shots and edit them into the sequence effectively. Another problem we encountered was that some of the shots didnt fit in with the Psychological Thriller genre and so therefore we decided that we would replace them, such as the crime wall we we had in our first cut and the stalking scene that peers suggested should be done in a more appropiate setting as we had used an empty room in school.
