EVALUATION 7

Looking back at your prelimary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from its to the full production?

From our preliminary task we have vastly improved. We have improved in terms of camera shots and angles such as in the prelim the camera can sometimes shake and look unprofessional however we cut that out in our film opening and only use it fro effect. Also we have improved our story line with much more research and planning we have managed to create a much better plot.

We have also improved our editing from the prelim as we have added dramatic music into our film for effect which we did not have in our prelim, we have also made progression in terms of quality as our film opening looks very professional with a lot more editing of the shots being put into it as we have learned to do that on the imac.

We have also improved our setting of the filming as i feel it does not look very authentic where we filmed for our prelim as in our film opening we show light tunnels and really create an atmosphere to our insane asylum setting which we did not do in our prelim. We have also added in more transitions with no jump cuts such as in the prelim.

We have also learnt about new tecnologies betwen te making of our prlim videa and our film opening. We have learnt about editing on the imovie on the mac, we could then altar the picture and change the colors and make the picture look more professional, we also learnt about garage band and how we can add music in to make it more effective.

Here is our Prelim video:

FILM PRODUCTION COMP.

For our film we have chosen Lionsgate as our production company as there logo will appear at the start. We did this because we liked the films they have produced and because they relate to our own film opening such as the saw series and hostel.

These relate to our film opening as they both have a genre of thriller. They both include someone who is not mentally stable and can cause trouble such as in our film.

FILMING

In our project we have started our filming after completing the storyboard, we have all the shots prepared and know where we hope to do them and what we need for them. Now we have begun with the camera work already with shots of walking through the corridor and the security guards on film.

The shot we have filmed is one of two security guards who are busy occupied by reading a paper and with their feet up and not looking at the television monitor. This shot is to establish the fact that someone has intruded into the asylum as it cuts to the shot we also did of a camera walking down the corridor so it looks as though it is from the intruder's perspective. We want to create the intruder as a mysterious person so no one knows who he is for now.

In the coming week we will be doing more filming of shots of the mental patient in the straight jacket which has been ordered. Also we will be shooting out of school time at a location where we will be showing the escaped patient. After we have finished our filming which should be after a couple of weeks we will begin our editing on the imacs.
