Q7 Evaluation

Looking back at the skills I had when I made the preliminary film and to the film I made now I can honestly say my skills have improved majorly. Before when I made the prelim film I had a lack of skills but I lied to myself saying that I could easily make a film. It wasn't even like how i expected. i struggled to make a prelim film. I thought that i knew it all when i really didn't. when my teacher went through all the different types of shots I could honestly say i was shocked. There were so many.

We first stated of with a story board I thought that this would be the quickest part so me and my whole group rushed it because we thought it wasn't so important. However it was apparently it helps you as you are videoing. So the one that we rushed had to get scrapped and we had to start again adding extra detail. We then had to think of a location we chose to do it in the college which was a silly idea as nearly everyone in my class was doing it inside the college. talk about lac of creativity. The filming process was the longest. I thought that you could just go out there record whatever u want and just add them together during the editing process. but it wasn't like that we had to follow the story board and think about different types of shots. close ups, long shots, mid shots, we had to watch out for the 180 rule:

This is what we learned you can only stay on one side of people when they are having a conversation. Fortunately we didn't have to cross this because there were not many if any conversations like this is our film.

However in our proper title sequence we had more experience with editing and filming as we went through specific things in lesson. Like how to edit proper how to do different types of shots. which equipment to use e.g a tripod to get a still shot. In our prelim we did not use a tripod at all we did it free hand this made our film come out shaky and was harder to edit. Whereas in our title sequence we did use a tripod and a fig rig to give us still shots whilst walking. This was extremely useful because if we didn't have it our scenes would be shaky making it look more like a music video than an actually film opening

This is me showing how I used motion to create a simple title sequence for my film. I think that motion was easily accessible and very easy for me to use.

I also tried to use garage band to make a sound to put over the title sequence however I did not like the sounds that were created using garage band. They didn't go with my title sequence so we decided to get one of youtube. Also we used a digital camera to record our title sequence. I think that this was easy to use and it made our video come out good which i am very pleased with.

TEEN MOVIES

The wider audience for teen movies are broad and this is due to many things. Teens can make other people want to watch a film as much as they don't want to. They have the ability to make a movie sound more interesting is. This could happen through social networks. Teens on social-networks make information spread in the blink of an eye. But its not only teens on social networks anybody any age can use social media. Lets use twitter for an example. There are millions of people using twitter today, if a film had a new release, the information on that movie would spread so fast and come up on everyones timeline. Full of teens saying very positive things about the movie. This may encourage people of many ages to go out and watch the film due to what has been said about the movie. But this could happen in a negative way. Teens could say such vile things about a movie which could deter the audience. This is why teen movies have a wide fan base.

Feedback from First Rough Cut

The feedback we got from dan on our first rough cut was that, it was a good attempt for the first rough cut,  however he said that we had a lot to improve on, he told us that there were a lot of shots that really didn't need to be there and that we should get rid off in order to make the title sequence look more realistic. He said in our second rough cut we should include more close ups in order to show emotion in each other's faces so it could have a greater effect on our title sequence and the audience. He also mentioned adding some foley sounds and a prominent soundtrack to emphasise emotion in our title sequence.

He also told us that the title credits were not clear enough, and to make things a bit easier we should use motion instead of doing them on Final Cut Pro (our initial idea). Some of e titles covered some actors faces so we were told to adjust the frame on Final Cut Pro. 

- To improve my work i will redo the title credits and make sure that they are organised and are placed on the frame so that no crucial bits are missing. 
- film more close ups to emphasise emotion
- remove any irrelevant shots that may have been seen. 

blogging health check

It's good to see you are keeping a production diary and interesting to read your reflections - but try and be more precise and detailed. Part of what we are trying to do with encouraging you to blog so much, is to encourage you to plan properly. What exactly do you want to achieve in your next filming session? What do you need to do to make sure this happens? Try and be really clear about this and put it down in a blog entry. Try and say exactly what went wrong, if it didn't go the way you wanted? Lighting? A lack of footage? Shaky camera? The closer you can identify what exactly has happened the easier it will be to correct it - you should try and finish your posts with a solution to any problems you mentioned. If you don't know, come and see teachers/technicians when you are back in college and discuss it with us. You can record and blog your feedback. 

Your blog entries are currently a little on the brief side - try and add some photos of some video or use other types of ICT (Prezis, emaze etc) to liven them up a bit. Also, after each session, you could write a short individual note on exactly what you did. Also, you could post re. skills development - what exactly have you learnt so far? How have your skills dveloped? You can write all this up on the blog. 

Try and get your post count up also - I'd like you to see if you can get to 40 soon. As you are going away and won't be as connected with the process, it's important you get as much done as you can right now.

Blog post-12

The similarities with High school&Youth drama film are:

• Both of them end with the title of who the film was written and/or directed by.
• Also both the title sequences start with a blank screen with some text on it then move to moving images.

The differences with High school&Youth drama film are:

• In a High school drama the title sequence is in most cases longer than others, this is usually because High school drama's in most cases it has more casts and more people producing it.
• Linking back to the bullet point above High school dramas are mainly mainstream production and Youth drama's are usually independent films. Ive noticed High school dramas have a more entertaining side whereas youth dramas are more serious and most likely to be based on real live events.

19 - How to create soundtracks in garageband

We got told how to make sounds using garage band I didn't really find this helpful as I already know how to use garage band from past experiences

I got some information on how to use garage band of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF0yEOgCyfc

You open up garage band and this should be the first screen that comes up, you then select what you would want whether a loop, piano a movie or even just your voice and press choose. However if  you want to start from scratch just double click new project. We are going to use move for our project as we are creating a title sequence.

40 - Revisions to pitch

We have changed our whole title sequence to an abusive relationship

We have changed the font and animations that we will be using

Instead of us actually speaking in our film as we agreed on before we have chosen to mute the speech and use music as this will maximize the tension between the characters.

We will demonstrate domestic abuse as the door is being banged on and the girl is sitting behind the door panicking

We will also demonstrate a flashback to goodtimes where the male and female first met.

We completed our storyboard to give us a rough copy of what we should be filming exactly.

Filming Journey

I am excited to be filming, I think that this is the most exciting part of the course. I feel that this is a perfect time to show my filming skills of, as I had recently been filming music videos.
-----------------------------

I was wrong, filming a movie was nothing like filming a music video. Music videos are easy and so quick to film. With a film you have to take on so many precautions. For example you have to make sure that you get so many different type of shots. You have to rerecord some certain parts in order for them to look good. it took up more than 8 hours to record this little title sequence, just imagine a full time blockbuster.

Editing Journey

Finally we are on our Editing Journey, with a great use of self esteem and team work we have managed to come up with a good enough title sequence that we are proud of. After all the difficulties, trials and tribulations, I can proudly say that I am glad on how our editing is going on. At first when we were first putting the clips together we thought it was over as we were not going to complete the editing. This was because we we rent agreeing on certain things. But now we just come to a final conclusion before changing anything so there is no confusions.
