Film Project: Final Cut of Movie

Evaluation: YouTube account

As a group decision we decided to create a YouTube account for our decision, we are going to upload all of our evaluation and our final cut of our opening sequence. I tohught this was a good idea because we are further our idea and letting more people know about our conventions and thoughts.

Here is the link for the YouTube account

Evaluation: Opening Sequence

Now we have completed our Opening Sequence our next task to complete was to evaluate our project. To do this we had to record a session of discussion with me and the group. We had a few question to go by and to prompt us in the right direction. Everyone had to participate, and put their personal view in. Along with question we had brief notes on what to say, we used this then added any personal view on the project.

Here is the questions and brief answer we had, so you can understand it more and read into depth on our views:

Film Project: Sneak Peak



This was the film that we showed as a group to our classmates during the showcase. Everything went according to plan except we hadn't finished the soundtrack in time for the showcase but it didn't affect people's understanding of the narrative or genre. Although, the clip of the red lips didn't export with the rest of the video so it came up "Media Offline" This was a problem as it did affect the control of the narrative but we explained to the audience after the clip what the scene should've been.

Film Project: Feedback

Today is the day to present our film intros, however these are the first cuts so they are not complete we are presenting to the class so that we can get feedback so we can improve our piece to get a better grade. Like our piece is almost finish, we need a few more edits and we need to add music. I think this task is very helpful because we get pointers and shown what needs to be improved and what bits are good.

Overall i think we got good feedback from the class and teachers. They were particularly impressed with the smoking sequence, they said they liked the pace of it, the variations of angles in the sequence and they said the sequence allows the audience an insight of the characters personality and what they might be like, we had suggestions of a gangster or a city sliker. Another good point is that they understood the storyline, such as they knew that they were flashbacks and got the plot.

However we had some feedback that will help us improve our grade, the main piece of feedback was that the first sequence was maybe a little too long, they suggested more edits in the walking sequence to help pick up the pace of it, so we will be editing that in the next few lessons to get it looking good!

Also in the next few lessons we will be filming an evaluative discussion of our opening sequence once it has been completed with music and all the edits. This will give my opinion on what I enjoyed about the process.
