EVALUATION QUESTION 1

EVALUATION QUESTION 2

From this i can conclude that the characters we made have stereotypical attributes worked and was successful as it is clearly portrayed in the film. By using mise en scene especially as well as sound effects 'clicking of text' we showed the two types of characters clearly enough for the audience to distinguish who is 'a geek' or 'popular'

EVALUATION QUESTION 4

EVALUATION QUESTION 5

Overall our film attracted the correct target audience as Abdul says he expects it to appeal to young teenagers, our target audience was young teenagers, on that point our film was successful.

The rough cut feedback certainly helped us as a group make major changes, without it we would have broken the 180 degree rule and we were constantly changing scenes and moving things around.
Also the rough cut let us work from a basic frame of the film and know whats going on at all times.

So far we have reached our audience on only a couple of platforms : Vimeo, and a cinema screening.
We hope our film attracts to a wider audience as well as young teenagers, to find out if it will i will ask the older people who watched it and see what they thought.

Production: Interviews

Feedback from Marisa on final piece

After Marisa watched our clip : 

One thing she commented on was that the intro clips were too long, so we clipped the shots down from 5 seconds to 3 seconds.

Another comment she added was that the music was too constant as the scenes were building up tension the music should match , we will work on the music to match the tension of the scenes.

One more thing she commented on was the font in out opening, she said it as too plain and boring which i agree with so we looked for a slightly more stylised look for the font.

Production: Filming Photos

Production: Rough Cut 1!

Here's our first rough cut!

We haven't as of yet added any credits (except for the title of the film) and we intend to have them over the moving images and they will be narrative.

We will also be creating our own idents for the beginning.

Feedback:

Some match cuts felt a bit jumpy.

Going to re edit them to ensure all match cuts are smooth.

We slightly broke the 180 degree rule.

Rather than waste time re-shooting, we will use another one of our shots that we filmed.

Some shots felt like they lasted too long.

We will consider re-editing them again to use different types of cuts.

The music felt a bit repetitive.

We may change the music slightly or, as it is an instrumental, add some vocals.

Planning: Updated Storyboard

This is our original contact sheet with descriptions now.

Planning: Storyboard and Feedback

We were told that using a contact sheet is ok but it would be better to use a proper storyboard with descriptions of each shot.

Planning: Costume Pack

We will be using these (or similar) costumes:

 (Geek)

Popular Characters

Planning: Sound Design

Here are the sounds we have selected which may be featured in our film:

Story board / feel of the film tite

 The overall film title included a Geeky character as well as a popular character, 

The idea of the story was to show how a 'geeky character acts in a school environment in comparison to how a 'popular person' acts.
The twist to the title is that whilst having two separate shots of both types of people and their personal missions for that day , they meet suddenly and it reveals a strange connection between the two characters, The popular girls friend then looks at her in disgust as how she was nice to a geek.



We named the film strange connection as its two considered opposites who strangle attract each other.

The whole film will reveal what happens when this connection carries on.

Pictures Whilst filming

Film Day

Today We started filming my shots first, it went really well and we had a free maths classroom to get the 'geeky' feel. We only had to go through the the shots a couple times.

Also we had to film  me walking down the whole length of the corridor so we had to do many takes to get a natural tracking shot feel. However we learnt that people are doing lessons and tend to wonder between classes so we we had to be ready to re do shots at all times.



For the long shot of me walking down the stairs I had to be on the second floor whilst it was filmed by dan outside of the college, it was cool as he had to text when action was.
For the final scene we had to film me and Monica meeting in the cafeteria, this scene was quick and easy to film.







If i could change one thing about this project it would be for me to film more scenes.

Feedback from blog posts

From Marisa's comments on my blog i am now motivated to keep my work up in order to gain as may marks as i can , due to missed work i can now see why i misunderstood certain parts, for example analysing a trailer instead of a title.
