Old Evaluation's

This is our evaluation, in this slide show it talks about our work and effort we have put in our film. it talks about mise-en-scene, editing, sound, and cine, and the characters role in the film; how their behaviour is like and what class they are from.


 

 This is the finale evolution^. We were told to make it more lively.  

Our film

We have now finished editing our film; now on YouTube for other people to see and comment on.
We have made a lot of changes on our film because we were not happy with some parts also the acting but now we are very happy with the changes we have made and we are proud of our film and personally I wouldn't do anything different.
 Hope you guys enjoy part two of our film and comment on YouTube when finished.

Personal I would change the main character because we wanted it to be more dramatic and the my acting isn't persuasive to grab the characters attention.

If you watch 2:30 of the film you could see some mistakes such as you could see the camera women in the reflection

Also as you could see in this shot it's not good at all because it only has half of the characters faces in the scene.

We have changed the name, so we can see the full text.

We saw that one of the actress wasn't good enough so we took her out of her film, because she was smiling even doe it was mean to be a sad moment. We made small changes makes a difference to our work and now we are proud to watch it.

 We have made the changes and uploaded it on YouTube. ^

After watching our film on YouTube we feel that there needs to be an improvement to make it more dramatic. so we suggested on using one of our friends gran to be the mother in our film , because she is older and it will look more believable which will make our film more dramatic.

Test Shots&Rehearsals.

This is just a quick video of when we were filming as you can see from this clip you cannot get things right the first time. we used this video in out film because we can cut out parts we do not want and keep the ones we want to add on to our film. Also when filming this we looked back at it to see what we can do better next time we film.

These are screen shots of some scene from our film








 

Actor Release Form.

This is me, (Jordan) sighing a release form for the actors, this form gave us permission for us to film them.
We gave this to our actors so that they can agree with everything that we would do in our film. These release also says that we can take pictures of them and videos too, which is a good thing for our film. If we didn't get permission from the actors it would have been a problem with putting it on social network and so on.

This is Eunice Fakelade (mum, in the film) in our film singing the release form.


Mya Yilla (Liane, characters name in the film) signing the contract deal for time to go. we used Mya in our film however in the end we decided to take the scene she was in because it was to long and also her acting wasn't what we wanted and we didn't have enough time to find someone else to replace her.

Micro Analysis Drama Scenes

  Micro Analysis Drama Scenes




Camera - shots and Angles:  In this scene, they are in the playground and they were about to go into their class, one of the teachers stopped him and the shot with him looking at the man that stopped him; it’s an over the shoulder shot. (3:59).I think that this angel has be used because of the boy’s face expression and (4:00) it was the same angle but on the man, it shows the man’s face expression, I think that the man was scared of the boy like they have some type of history.

 
Editing: The main character (Trevor) gets the most scene time, that's maybe because his main character. They are a lot of straight cuts.

Mise-en-scene: In this film most of the characters are young teenagers and they are all wearing hoods. Especially when they don't have school and go out with their friends to westend. They are all dressed same with their hats, tracksuits and shoes. (1:27:37)

 Sound: The Non-diegetic sound that is used in the playground is when people are talking you can hear children in the background just like in a normal school. They were some urban instrumentals at the beginning of the film, and it went with every emotion that was going on in that scene and the music would go low when someone was talking. (2:02)

Critique From Audience

We videoed an audience to critique our film in a good and bad way. So we know what to improve for our film. He gave us in great detail of information and how we should improve our film. For example at the bigginer of the film we were advices to add in music as we are introducing the film title. This is make sure the audience remembers out film if they were to hear thym tune. Another example will be to get a better camera which doesn't pick up static sounds in the background. He also made good comments such as good back ground music to build emotional tension for the audience. Some use of angles were good aswell. However he also commented that we had quite a lot of jump cuts.

Overall with these critiques it will help us make a better and improved change for our film.

Test Shots And Rehearsals

Sadly, we couldn't take any pictures of our film. This was because we have forgotten to take pictures. In our film we have made a lot of changes since we have made our film this is because, one we didn't have enough time to do certain things so we had to take short cuts which means it will require less time. for example at the very beginning of our film we had decided to film some of the scene in the

Draft Of Our Film

We have finally got on film on YouTube and we are very proud of ourselves. However we only managed to film the ending of our scene because we took too long to start filming which meant we didn't finish our film. But what we have filmed is good enough. We have put a lot of effort into our film and we are both proud. When we do our final film it will be much better than this because we will put more time in to our film. We will continue filming to make our film better and change some parts, also make it more dramatic because at the moment it isn't.We need to make some changes such as getting ride of the casting names at the end.

I will be making some changes in my blog so whenever we film I will upload some parts of our film to show as evidence.

We are editing our film. My partner Oumie and I have done a lot of work on improving our directing skills; we are using the Mac computer to edit our film even though it's quit hard to use. We have got to a clear view of how to use the Mac. In our film Oumie is the director however I also helped directing in the film; I'm also one of the actors in the film. I believe that we have worked great as a team, we also cooperated well together. The beginning was hard because we did know how to start because we both didn't get the course but after some weeks of studying and watching films to get some idea's we managed to make a start which we were confident with. Me and Oumie should be able to finish editing by Friday because it's the deadline. If we were to do this again I would have started early, but I believe that me and Oumie did start our plans early but didn't real communicate with each other as much. Overall to work well with someone on a film you must get along well with your partner and have an open conversation with them about the film.

 

This is our rough copy and we will be making some changes in our finishing piece at the end of the year. We also will change some of the characters, because we want it to be more dramatic, because genre that we have chosen is drama and the actress and to be more dramatic to make the film much more exciting. We have made mistakes because we add the opening credit at the end even though we were not meant to.

 

 

This shouldn't have been at the end but at the beginning.
