In my group me, Lee Roy and Andrew had to make a short sequence of a film to show that we understood the 180 degree rule.
The 180 Degree - Is a guideline set in a film which we can not cross. This helps establish two characters which may be talking together without crossing the line. It also helps people not to get confused when watching a film of two characters which maybe standing.
Before making the film, I had an opportunity to get into the lime night because one of the group wanted me to play Al-Pacino. So it was really good when we watched the film over again on the projector felt very good and excited. "I was a good actor" quoted by many students in the class.
Moreover, me and my group had to come up with a short story which had to be drawn on to a storyboard and numbered in sequence. Also we where shown by my teacher how to set up a tripod and the camera.
Also each scene is simply made up of every time we click the record button on the camera and towards the time were you stop it. This was hard at first but became easier after.
The main story of the short film is basically two character: one is the victim and the other one is the bully. The bully wants the money and victim tries to pay him before getting beaten up but there is a twist in the end to make it very dramatic.The storyboard of the short film
What didn't go so well?
However the setback we had as group was one of my group member wasn't able to come to lesson due to his exam and we couldn't use the tripod in the staircase due to health and safety act. So we had to use the camera on our hand. Which made it shaky but overall it was hard filming at a situation like that but we enjoyed it in the end.
Second day of the filming another setback due to no tripods available for my group. So had to use the camera by hand which was a bit shaky but still very good. We played the film from the start to finish and the different scenes came out very good and alot of the other groups like it.
Had comments like "its really good and I really loved how everything fits in.
All of our ideas put together to make a final short film which lasted for 1 min and 2seconds. Eventually everything looked good and we where happy as a group to hand it in.
Things to Improve on
I feel our group hasn't reached our full potential in production skills therefore, we are determined to keep practising to make our next short film excellent.
As well as this, in my opinion I feel we can introduce more shots of objects and natural everyday things that tend to happen such as, the public walking by to make the scene more realistic and in the real world and make it more dramatic and look very realistic.
this is a good evaluation and i hope you learn from the experience.
