Overall Experience of producing Final Draft

Our last draft was similar to the 4th draft however we changed some shots and used red food colouring for the blood. We  decided to not put blood on her clothes as it would not be a visible. Acting was a very good experience, as I wasn't prepared at first, but on this final draft I've came up with very exaggerated emotions, and also while filming we came up with a varity of new ideas on how to film the moods for example the character moved more around the setting when angry. Editing was easier as it was similar to our last drafts when it came to the titles with the times and how we wanted the shots to look. When editing we had an order of how the body parts would be shown at the death scene in order to creat suspense.
