Self Assesment

Our film opening had unique camera angles and the music fit well to the genre. We decided to use "You really got me" by The Kinks and also some royalty free action music to add a happy, fun effect at the start and a tense mood towards the end. The use of both high and low camera angles added variety to  our film. The way in which the titles were implemented was creative and unique,with some reacting with what was going on in the sequence. This helped set us apart from other groups as not many had used the idea of dynamic titles.

 

To improve, we could increase the lighting in some scenes. For instance, in the van it is very hard to distinguish what is going on due to the low light. Also continuity was a slight problem as the footage was filmed over 2 separate days, resulting in the natural lighting being much different where 2 scenes follow on from each other.This could be overcome by using artificial light when filming, or changing the contrast of the footage in post-production.

Film Opening Poster

Today we created a film poster for our film opening, to do this we imported a shot from our opening and editing it using titles and logos in Photoshop.



Feedback Analysis

Today as a group we was reviewing and analysing our groups feedback, With this we would take the constructive advice and negative points to improve our final film opening.

 

Our feedback received a variety of both negative and positive points. Our positive feedback was mostly based around our clear representation of our genre, our titles font and placement and finally our interesting story line and dialogue.
However our negative feedback was greatly based around one scene, this was the scene in which we was in the van, the feedback in which we received for this was to improve the sound as it appears muffled at times and to improve the clarity of image and dialogue as it can become confusing.

 Finally we received some feedback on how our music was a great fit to the genre and was applied in suitable areas, however the volume became distracting as it appeared to loud.



Peer assessment

In todays lesson we were giving feedback on each individual groups film opening first draft. The way in which we assessed each film opening draft  was by each using a feedback sheet that was divided into positive aspects of the film opening, negative aspects and things that we were change in order to make the film opening better.
An example of my personal feedback is from the film opening of outlaw, in this I have shown a few improvements that they could do to act upon the negative points of there opening.



Film Opening Script

Through out our script is kept to a minimum amount, this is to highlight the personalities of each character and focus on the dialogue which is occurring. There are only two main scenes in which there is script used  (inside the van and loading the van), these scenes are points in the film which so the authority of each individual and that help reflect our action/comedy genre. Below is the layout of our script:

Scene 1

Jess: We leave in five pack what you need

Harry: Alright Boss

Jordan: Gang Gang

 

Scene 2

Harry: Oh yeah Guys, I’ve got this as well

Film Opening Representation

Today we had to create a presentation of our character profiles and locations. To do this I created an emaze PowerPoint on the representation of our film opening 'Not So Die Hard'.
