Our first rough edit of the piece proved a helpful in the way of giving a more focused direction. The approach we took to the project to begin with was a very open one as we believed this would be the most effective way to meet the demands of the brief and although we did come up with a lot of effective material we also produced some less so effective footage. This first edit gave us chance to reflect on how were going about the project and gave a feel for what direction to head in, as well which of our original ideas to pursue and which leave behind. After this first edit we saw that it was most definitely necessary, to reign in the piece and make sure the focus remained clear although we wanted to keep a lot of the experimental vibe of the first we also felt it imperative to routine in what we shot as to keep the audience tapped into the main ideas and not be distracted by innovations which are not entirely linked to the core of the production.
On the whole believe our production was successful, we had a strong original idea to begin which transformed many times along our production journey experimented with ideas. However once we play around with ideas and settled our eventual product we picked the best our experiments in film making and planned them more precisely which I believe has had a positive effect on our final piece. Although we had shoot some scenes on four or even five occasions we persivered and eventually arrived at a destination we felt fitting.

Over the purse of our shoot encountered various problems, most which can be attributed to complications with the monkey puppet, as getting the right performance out of it and keeping the puppetier out of shot at all times proved rather difficult thus our filming took us slightly longer than expected, however we persevered with our plans and eventually managed obtain all the shots that we required.
Another factor that slowed us down at various points were the conflicting ideas we had within the group as to which direction we should take the piece. This lead to our planning of each scene to overrun immensely as we attempted to come to a conclusion which sat well with all parties. Although this was a struggle as our group was made up of strong minded characters we eventually managed poll our ideas together to come up with a fitting solution on most accounts. Although at certain points during the production it may seemed as if we were on a "too many cooks spoil the broth' situation I believe that our work as a group has been of benefit both too our finished production and our individual progression. As we had differing ideas about how to go about various parts of the production we were forced to analysis these ideas to a much greater depth that had they not been question.

Orgy- Blue monday (Original music video)

My attention is immediately drawn to the effective combination of music and dark, abstract imagery in this piece. It is incredibly powerful in terms of dictating the mood of the viewer as in the merging of imagery sound it manages to synchronise the rise and fall of emotions on both counts. This makes it a particular point of interest as regards our group project as the sadistic, rhythmic feel to piece is extremely similar to that of our intended outcome. Using this video as a starting point we where able to progress our piece by attempting to recreate the innovative process which went into producing this film.

A key theme of our piece is the fear of inanimate objects something which links it closely to chuck. We felt that most effective way to display the fears within the darker side of the protagonists psyche would be to portray at the danger within the unknown. The personification gives it an other worldly feel, alienating the audience thus creating a greater sense of unease. All of these points are things our piece shares with Chucky, Where the anthropomorphism of a child's toy creates a greater sense of dread than any serial killer imaginable.
