Evaluation Question 7 - emily

After looking and analysing our preliminary exercise and our final film product we saw cirtain similaritys and differences. We can see a huge improvement between our first ecercise and our final film, in areas such as editing, stillness in the camera movement, placement, continuity and planning.



Camera angles- We used a low angle close up of jacks feet in our prelim, we like this shot and thaught it was effective and builds tension and suspence so we decided to use this in our film opening to create the same feeling of suspece and tension.



Editing- In our prelim we found that our editing as a whole was bad at all so for our film we just improved on our skills to make it look even better with smotther transitions from shot to shot. we also decided to use differnt transitions such as fade in ourt film to create a more realistic look.



Planning- in our prelim we founf that our planning wasnt great and was shown throuoght the film such as in shot (0.05-0.07) you can see someone in the right hand corner that wasnt ment to be there. Continuity this time was better and more effective and we hope that this is shown.



Throughought doing this we have found that all of us have our strenghts and weeknesses and as working in a group both times we played on these strenghts and brought people up to do their best in their weeknesses to hopfully make a very sucsessful film opening.

Here we have two screen shots, one taken from My groups film opening 'Parralell Lives' and the other from 'Step Up' a dance production film by Anne Fletcher brought to our screens in 2006. I have chosen Channing's role to compare with my own because I think there are different similarities and differences between the two characters. Both have fictionally been brought up in the rough areas of where they live and both have an avid interest in street/urban dance. The difference between the characters is that channing in 'Step Up' is respected for his dancing whereas I get beaten up for dancing. We chose to do this in our opening because we thought that it refelcted well on todays youth society and how it seems almost unacceptable for a males to dancers.
