Details of any reshoots

We have had to continually attempt to film our title sequence as it requires timing and various people to signal. The title sequence consists of the camera recording as the title of our film ('The Rise and Fall of a White Collar Worker') is typed out on a computer, as the final work is typed the camera pans around and captures Ross' entrance into work.





We have had to re film the scene in Dr Parkes' office between him and Ross due to a continuity error. In the original shoot of that scene Ross is wearing his office work clothes, however, in the preceding scene immediately before, which we filmed later, Ross is wearing his casual clothes.

We have had to refilm the morning scene where Ross meets Simon who greets him enthusiastically for work. When we first filmed the scene it was too far away from the office where the majority of the inside office scenes take place. In the interest of creating a setting and continuity we refilmed it so it can be seen that Ross walks into the office.

We have had to refilm a scene in Dr Parkes' office where a conversation between Ross and Dr Parkes takes place. In the scene we break the fourth wall, Dr Parkes says he needs something from the black folder (revenge schemes) the camera then pans across and focuses on the blue folder (clients). We had to continually refilm this because it was difficult to pan and zoom without the camera going out of focus.

We have had to refilm the  scene where Ross bangs Hooper's knuckles onto the table and then punches himself in the face. Two pieces of violence in quick succession was difficult to film and we needed to reshoot the same scene from various angles.




The scene in Dr Parkes' office between him and Ross where we break the fourth needs to be re-shot. The zoom into the 'clients' folder and where we break the fourth wall does not have the same comedic effect as when Monty Python do it. We have decided to film Dr Parkes saying to Ross that he needs something from the black folder and then the next shot cutting to the black folder.






We have had to re film Ross entering his work at the beginning of the film. This is because we filmed the same scene three weeks apart so we had a continuity error, on the original footage Ross opened the door with his left hand but pulled the handle down with his right hand. Moreover, around this point in the scene we have added an extra collection of shots to stop the scene from getting repetitive.The scene is where Ross gets to work, goes to his desk and gets out his phone to find out that his girlfriend has dumped him. We have broken that up by adding Hooper's fit walking to the office.
We have had to re film the scene where Ross receives the text from his girlfriend, Daisy, telling him that she is ending their relationship due to a continuity error. The text clearly states that it is 14:44, however, in the events of the film he is supposed to be receiving this text as he has got into work sometime before 9AM.
