First Film Edit

In the early stages of creating my film I went out filming with a friend of mine, Max Harrison, playing the lead role of Joseph Williams. After watching the film back once I had made a rough edit I was not overly impressed with its turn out. There were a couple of shots which I did not believe worked very well and I felt the lighting and camera techniques that I used did not work very well either.
Just over one month later, in January 2010, I decided to reshoot my film to improve it as best as I could. I decided to use a slightly different camera, experiment with different shot sizes and use a different actor in the main role. The filming for the second draft took place at the same locations with the same supporting actors to the lead. The story two both drafts is exactly the same and to most people the two films will seem almost identical in their presentation.
I was un-shore at the time weather I would end up using the second version as my main film, or whether it would turn out that the first one was better all along.
After adding small changes and editorial differences, I was more confident in the second film by the end of the production stage, and therefore used my second draft as my main film.

This is the original draft of the ‘Hazard Group’ staring Max Harrison as Joseph Williams.
It was filmed on the 8th and 9th of December 2009.
