Post Production - Once Upon A Time In The Midlands

Three points which we felt impacted the final product most from the video commentary were:

• lots of improvisation was used which allowed the actors to reflect their and the characters mood more than if they were always following the script word for word.
• Another point was that the actors had a weeks rehearsal time before the start of filming, this allowed them to understand the actors more making it easier to film some tougher scenes as they would not have to waste time before shooting to work out how best to portray the character.
• the final point was that the script would change from day to day depending on the mood created from the previous day of filming, this means that again understanding the character was very important as areas of the script may be unfinished or half written when they needed to be filmed.
