When we were on location we decided to do some different shot type that weren’t on our storyboard this was because we thought we would have enough footage otherwise and there were also things at the location that we thought would be worth film such as the water coming down the wall. Also by doing more shot types we managed to set the scene more.

In our film sequence we wanted to build up suspense between the two people meeting together to do a drugs deal I feel we successfully did this by using appropriate music and thought the use of quick editing to show the two peoples point of view.

We didn’t have any costumes for our film instead we decided to use casual clothing this gave a sense of social realism but also so that the audience can relate to the situation more. However one of the people acting in our sequence dressed in all black clothing so stereotypically this shows that the person is going to be tuff, that they want to keep there identity hidden and that they are possibly thuggish/ aggressive (you sometimes dress in a way that you feel for example dark could mean your angry and aggressive.) This is shown in our sequence when the person in black gets in a fight with the other person.

My role in our film sequence was to create a piece of music that would fit in with our footage. My role was very important as the music had to set the right sort of mood and to create suspense as the film went on. To get an idea of the sort music I had to create I looked at a few films for example Kidulthood, Adulthood and Get Carter. From analyzing these films I found a scene in Adulthood that was relevant to our film. I then took this idea and created something similar on garage band. My overall feel is that the soundtrack went well but maybe I didn’t create enough suspense in the fight scene, Also there was a problem uploading the sound to our film footage this resulted in the sound being to loud when the two people are talking to each other.

Once we had finished our film sequence we then looked at the rest of the class’s films we then gave each other feed back. This was our feedback

The Mise-en-scene was good; people liked the clear car park representing isolation. Clothing was good and represented characters well. Character shouldn’t have slowed down on the stairs. Camerawork was good with some nice shots - water droplets. Filming was a bit shaky at times, wasn't clear if it was intentional or not. Some more shots for the fight would have been good. Sound was good, matched well with the sequence but the music should have gotten quieter during the dialogue. Editing was good, some shots were too long. Fight scene well edited

From this feedback we could see what people liked and disliked about our film. One of the things that they didn’t like was how the person was going up the stair which is fair enough but he couldn’t run up the stairs because then it looks like he’s running away from something showing fear which defeats the character profile of being tuff and a feared person, also I feel that when he’s going up the stairs it creates suspense, because of the slow pace keeping the audience wanting to know what’s going to happen next. Other negative feedback was on the fact that the music needed to get quieter around the talking which I realized I made a mistake on.

If I was to do this project again I would prefer if I wasn’t doing the sound because I don’t know how to use the Garageband software very well and I feel I would of produced a better piece of work if I had been doing either the filming or editing.
