Once all the 3D animation was complete, my lecturer gave me feedback. He and I discussed other potential shots, as I felt that I was missing some from what I had so far.

First playblast version before feedback and edits

I eventually decided to model and animate a close-up of the cow in the background of the field shots. In addition to this, the cuts between the gun scenes and the badger needed to be quicker to add more suspense to the film. I also used my Playblast versions of the film to work on developing the ambient sound, as I decided that my poem was no longer as closely aligned with the film. I also used tricks in Adobe After Effects to create a scene seen through the scope of the rifle.

Test Rifle Scope shot
Second Playblast version

The second playblast version still needed some editing, and also still required the factual information at the end to make the meaning of the film more obvious.
