final cut evaluation

I think our opening two minutes for our created film was very successful. Despite all the problems we uncounted we sorted it out together with maximum effort and contribution, although we had these slight problem we didn’t allow the project to get out of hand and we decided to set deadlines for the stages of filming to be done within certain days. Our group also had many positives, we managed the assignment very well and we didn’t allow our self to be struggling for time

To avoid confusion we were all allocated an element of the project, my job was to play a part in the film and to create fonts for credits, and I also helped Andrew choose the music. Andrew also appeared in the footage and was in charge on deciding on our music and sounds. Conor was in charge of filming and creating the anamatic all though we did all contribute to it. Lyle was the main part in the film and helped with everyone else, we all chipped in with the editing as we believed it was the most important element to contribute to.

One of the topics that were brought up when people watched our clip was our interesting and unique variety of camera angles and shots. We believe we opened our film with a different shot, and a good use of sound bridge. In my opinion I believe this was one of our best shots so it was good to start strongly. The class believed one of the best parts was the shot when we approached the camera in slow motion it showed the characteristics and emotion of the gang.

It’s hard to pick a distinctive part of filming that wasn’t a success, there were only small elements that were wrong, for example faults in editing. This only occurred a couple of times in the film, noticeably the transaction between the mirror and the opening door shot, there was a small jump shot but it’s not that evident.

I really enjoyed Perry’s group piece as it was the only comedy created within the two tutor groups. But the humor was balanced it wasn’t just joke upon more jokes, it had a comical storyline but it was obvious that there was a distinct storyline and the film was actually going to have a storyline. It would have been surreal if there was just humor with no genuine story.
