Term 4, Lesson 12

Year 11 Film, Television and New Media Film Noir Style Production
Self-reflection and evaluation:

Please answer each question using complete sentences, including as much detail as possible.
1. Discuss your feelings about the production task: Please justify your responses:

• Are you satisfied with the result? (i.e. did it turn out as well as you hoped?)
I am satisfied with the end product as even though it isn't quite how I planned it would be, it worked out being just as good.

• Did the project require more/less time than you originally thought?
I knew it would be very time consuming as I have done other production tasks but it was easier that I only had to edit two scenes instead of the whole film because that would have made it much more time consuming.

• Would like to change or improve any aspects of your final film (storyline, shots, editing etc.)?
A film can always be improved, if we had a longer time limit I would have liked to expand more on the storyline. I also wish I was at the filming for my scene that I edited as a lot of the scenes are very shaky as a tripod wasn't used.

• If you could start the project again, what would you do differently?
Being at the last two filming sessions would probably made me feel a bit more comfortable with the shots.

2. As this task focused on the Film Noir Style, describe:

• How you used specific elements of mise-en-scene to depict your film’s genre and enhance the narrative?
By using 50's style clothing, covering the windows with dark sheets to make the room dark but with harsh lighting.

• How you used specific shot types to convey the story using visual language?
We used some angled shots to show who was in power, we hid a the identities of a few characters with only shooting specific areas of them e.g. their feet.

• Whether the intended genre is depicted clearly or if this could be improved?
There is always room for improvement but I believe that we pretty much captured the essence of what we needed to do.

3. Personal reflection and evaluation:
After your previous task, you were asked to reflect upon the project and identify aspects of planning, production and reflection, which could be improved. Please explain which aspect you chose to focus on for this task and how you have made improvements.

The shot list was what we definitely needed to improve and I believe we did this. Every shot that we needed was filmed and we always knew exactly what we needed to do. When improving our work on the shot lists it made us much more organised than in previous tasks.

4. Reflecting upon your completed task, respond to the following points:

• How did other people respond to your rough-edit? Did you use their feedback to make changes to the film?
I know that I individually reponded to the feedback I got and made adjustments to my scene, in particular tightening it all up and adding in a few quick shots.

• Did your group use the planning and analysis tools effectively? (ingredients list, storyboards, shot lists).
I feel that we did as we were so organised in getting everything done, the only thing that held us up in places was when we were trying to get all the actors together so we could film.

Term 4, Lesson 11

Storyboards:

Term 4, Lesson 10

Today we showed the rough edit to Mr Andrew's everything was pretty much okay besides some shots in my edit saying that the subject was to entered and needed to be placed on the rule of thirds or to position the camera is a different way. There was two edits that I had to fix and I definitely believe think made it better.

Term 4, Lesson 9

We filmed the final scenes that we needed and the extra shots that I needed for my scene during test block and unfortunately I had an exam so I couldn't be there, I offered to edit the scene as I wasn't there but Kartya needed to edit it as she hadn't edit anything else. The shots weren't exactly how I imagined it but they looked good once I put it together.

Term 4, Lesson 8

After editing my scenes I did get frustrated because the shots were a bit wobbly but I managed to make it look as steady as I could. I believe that it worked out very well, there are still a few shots missing and when the music is added in when we put the whole film together.

Term 4, Lesson 7

On the weekend we filmed the most important scene will every character, I couldn't make it so I will edit this scene and a smaller scene of Kartya being taken. Watching over the shots I noticed that a tripod hadn't been used which made me quite distressed as I knew I was going to be editing this and I wasn't sure if I could make it work - affecting my mark.

Term 4, Lesson 6

On the weekend we filmed the alleyway scene (me, Kartya and Alex). As Holly couldn't come she will be editing this scene. I believe this went pretty well even though it was shot during the day, that part of the film is set during the day and it was the only time we could film there.

Term 4, Lesson 5

As Alex wasn't at the location when we filmed the first scene she edited it, that is what she was doing in class. The rest of us continued working on our blogs
