Our Film so far...The Feedback


 

 
When our film opening was presented to the class, we were presented with both positive and negative feedback, I will now discuss the feedback we received. I will start with the positive comments. Over all our footage was told to be of a high standard, and people particularly had a preference for the use of the GO PRO footage which showed Point of View(POV)shots of both characters. The music for our opening was also liked and we were told it fit our opening well.

However as much as there was good points there were also bad points, or places we could improve our piece to make it that just a bit better. The title screen fonts were apparently not fitting for an action film and do need to be changed, and to also be matching too.
The fade into white at the end of the final POV shot was suggested to be black, which we agree with as it was our original idea to be black instead of white. Also the notion of our film having a '2 days earlier' kind of title at the end of our film has been taken on board an applied to our film to further the feeling of enigma.

We found the in class feedback to be very useful and insightful for further developing our film, and we hope our end product is of a high quality.

Job Roles

Producer:
A Producer is a key role within the filming industry. A Producer will overlook the hole operation, from the first idea to the completion of the film. They work very closely with the Director and the staff on set. Me, Harry Weatherall and George Lewis are producers for our film opening.

Director:
The Director is very important job role with the making of a film. The Directors overseas and is in charge of, make up artists, camera men, editors... Pretty much everyone on set. For our film opening I shall be the Director because I am organised and have a good understanding of what we want the end product to look like.

Camera:
The camera man is also a very important job role, because without a camera man nothing would be filmed and therefore no film. The camera men for our film opening are Me and George Lewis.

Sound:
A sound engineer is a person who is in-charge of the sound on set, they make the sound be absolutely perfect so that when it comes to editing it is a lot easier to do. Our sound Engineer is Harry Weatheral.

Actors:
The actors are the characters that are played in the film. An actor is the person but outside of the film context, so not the character within the film. Our actors are Harry Weatherall and Josh Shardlow. Harry is one of our actors because he's good at acting and has a wide range of knowledge in action films and understands what to do when and where. Josh is our other actor because he did GCSE Drama and is very good at acting.

Editor:
An editor is someone who puts all the fotage filmed on set and puts it togther and helps put the sounds in the right place. He/she does this by adding and taking footage out, cuting and shortaning footage. Our editor is George Lewis because he demonstrates good editing skills and proved himself to be so in the priliminary task we did.
