Class Feedback:

When we showcased our film to our media class we gave out sheets which asked for feedback on specific parts of the film. We have randomly chosen 4 out of the 10 sheets that we got back to put on our blog to show where we have got our constructive criticism from and to show where we have improved.

Evaluation:

Now our film is all complete, we must evaluate it. We have planned our evaluative piece that we are going to film and put on our group blog by Thursday 7th April. As a group we have discussed things that we would change if we had the chance to and are going to talk about these further in our evaluation. We realised that there were a couple of issues with the lighting in our film and have really tried hard to resolve the problems but it is difficult as there is only so much changing of the brightness and contrast that we can do before we can barely see the shot at all! We are aiming to film our video response on Wednesday 6th April and have our blog completely finished by Thursday 7th April which is our deadline.

Filming:

Whilst we filmed our sequence we had to assign different roles to different people in our group. As we only had one character being shown on the screen at one time it was easier for us as a group to share the roles. We all had a go at filming and assisting the 'director' and 2 of us played the characters. 


At the beginning of our shooting we were meant to have a friend from outside of our group to be the psychopath character, however, after we were let down twice by this person, we decided that it would be best if we were to just have one of the three member of our group play this part. We found this much more effective and helpful to us as we did not have to revolve our filming time around a person outside of the group and therefore could film whenever we wanted without this worry. 


we are pleased that we made this decision as we could therefore be more specific about what we wanted our character to do as we all had the same mindset in our group.

Showcase:

Yesterday (29/3) we had our opening sequence showcase to the rest of our class. We finished our editing yesterday morning by adding music to our sequence and cleaning up some of our edits. The track we used on our final piece was called 'Abandoned' and we really really love how the track fits so well with the genre of the film. It builds up in the right places and we believe it helps to tell the story. We were really nervous as to how our final piece would turn out but the reception it got from our teacher and the class was extremely positive. We got some very good feedback as well as a few pieces of constructive criticism on our film. We were very pleased with the outcome however there are still a few things that need to be changed, but we are very happy with the work we have done.

Music:

We have been using the website www.freeplaymusic.com which is contains copyright free music which we can use as background music on our film. We aim to find a suitable piece of music which will add a spooky feel to the film as well as help to create suspicion. Also, we would specifically like a piece of music which builds up to a climax as the film progresses.
