audience feedback

The first part of feedback i agree with as i believe we did need to use a wider range of shots to create an more change and possibly build tension. however i do believe we used high and low angle shots maybe we could make sure they are more obvious.

The next part of feedback i agree partially with because the person says how the editing of the rolling credits on screen were well positioned which i agree with as they didn't distract away from what was happening in the scene.  i also agree that the editing would be more intense if there were more shots.

With the next two parts of feedback the narrative is good but I don't believe that the lighting would have done much to help with tension as it would have been a lot harder to Film in the lower light.

The next two bits of feedback were good as they did show how the credits and the sound were good in the ways they were meant to however with the credits i believe that the person is wrong as the roles don't need to be stated as all the people in the credits are actors later seen in the film. Also i agree that the sound was very difficult to hear.

actor interview

Was filming the introduction difficult? 

Michael Charalambous:-"It was difficult as we had to rely on the weather quite heavily. We couldn't film in the rain or snow and we didn't really want to have the introduction filmed in the dark. But obviously as it was filmed in the winter time that meant that time was against us as it got dark pretty early."

What was the funniest thing that happened on set? 

Matty Folkes:-"During filming for a scene where Will has to turn around with an expression of shock on his face, we attacked him with a can of deodorant and sprayed him in the face as a prank which was probably the funniest thing that happened on set."

Was it difficult to direct the opening? 

Kai Bingham:-"It is always difficult trying to direct three other 16 year olds but everyone chips in with good ideas on how we could improve or adapt our film."

script

SCRIPT

Three boys walk into the woods, with a couple of different angle shots showing this. They appear to be talking and having a laugh.
A POV shot of the antagonist as he stalks the boys.
The three are sat down on a log discussing, and then Will says he needs the toilet.

WILL: (Improvisation, talking about football)
WILL:I need a piss.

Walks away and takes his scarf of throwing it to Matty.
While urinating the antagonist creeps behind him and Will hears leaves crackling.

WILL:What?

The antagonist taps Will on the back

WILL:Mate I'm doing a piss.

Turns around with an expression of shock and horror.

WE did have a small script but we thought we would allow for improvisation as it can make the lines sound a lot better if the character can put real emotion into the words. 

evaluation task 8

Next year i will improve by improving knowledge of editing as I had no real input on how to edit both the preliminary task or the film opening. our film opening did lack something that made it stand out as there was only credits really on the opening scene.

in the next production to improve the quality i would get better sound equipment or I could  possibly re-record the sound to make sure that the sound is clearer and the scene can make sense.

I would also improve the mise en scene by using props and a better location to improve the inclusion of the audience as if they can relate to the characters then they can feel more empathy for the characters.

I would possibly use different camera angles as they can create a more educating view for the audience like establishing shots and possibly a high angle shot as the shots show location and who has prevalence in the scene.

I would prefer next year to make a trailer next year as it is easier to create tension in a trailer.

evaluation task 7

This shot in the preliminary task is a medium shot of the front of the person, this medium shot helps establish both emotional perspectives and location from the medium shot we can tell he has just walked through a door and is looking at something with possible disgust or not liking what he is seeing.  

This is also a medium shot and this is a better medium shot as is easier to establish where the characters are and also because there is more than one character so you now get more of an easier view on their emotions and their body language the person ion the preliminary task is the same as the one in the middle of the three of this shot 

This is apart of a shot reverse shot and this is to emphasis the action which the opening of the door. After using this in the preliminary task we decided to not use it in the opening of the film as we didn't need to use shot reverse shot as there was nothing that was really needed to emphasis that a person was using something or doing something.

evaluation task 6

We used the iPhone to film the opening scene as it has the best filming properties, it had the clearest picture from the technologies we had at our disposal, also it gave us the possibility to edit the opening in imovie and upload it very easily as it is a multi-platform technology and can connect to the internet and us able to do this. 

the iPhone's film quality was much better than I though it was going to be as it was very clear however the sound wasn't very clear and it didn't give the sound we had hoped for and that made the film a little disappointing. 

the computer was very important to our film opening as it was were we edited our film using premier elements and this is where we were able to add things like credits and background music. It was very easier to upload to you tube and blogger on the computer as it had a wired internet connection making it a lot quicker.
