Evaluation

(1) Camera being handheld created unsettled atmosphere, like its more realistic, dramatic and tensed. Camera being on tripod, makes different shots, dull and less dramatic which leads to a unrealistic atmosphere for audience to experience. Filming from a tripod does not bring out the inner feelings and emotions of the audiences reaction or the character itself playing the scene. Having it handheld gains audiences attention as if they are actually in the film and experiencing the scene.
The music and soundtrack is unusual due to the irony between the film and they music. The words in the soundtrack is very interesting and makes sense and very dramatic. If you listen properly you will understand the film and the music itself which fits together.
Such unusual soundtrack was also used in Jackie Brown, which is very cleverly which makes our one more worthwhile to watch because the soundtrack makes a good sense to the outline of the film.

(2) The character we used was from a different ethnicity, social class/ uneducated/ hoodies which is stereotypical of being a bad teenager which picks and causes trouble.
Teenage boy from a Asian background shows stereotypical on the way the character is dressed and ethnicity due to being Asian influences on being bad and not liked.
The environment though to be dangerous, rough, unclean and small. These factors showing the troubled life of a young teenagers hospitality. Also the way the character grips his hair in the film like a mad person. Which shows he is troubled and alone. Also going through harsh and hard times in his life.
Maybe being bullied or other. The use of hoodies in the production made it more negative to most of the audiences because in these modern times people believe that hoodies create a assumption in the minds of adults believing that teenagers with hoodies are bad or trouble makers. Also this stereotypical because the character is not able to approach people and people seem to be more frightened or scared of him.

(3) I believe our film would go far due to being a small independent film based on the likes of the television companies to take this and broadcast it. The small budget due to being a drama for the companies such as BBC and Channel 4 dramas.
Small films unlike big films with bigger budgets and with lots of effects which take years to produce and is more appealing to the eye of the audiences. Surreal in a way, location is edited from the original.

(4) Its a film which gives out a strong message to the troubled teenagers that are going through rough and hard, confusing problems or situations, in their troubled backgrounds.
Aimed mostly at teenagers with the likes of situations that is played and going through by our own character. Situations like this happens to all races and colour. This reflects on real life scenes such as bulling, gangs, crimes, friends going through hard times and others.

(5) The music stands out which is really appealing, and the irony between the storyline. The music itself is very catchy and clever.
They song would not be everyones' choice of song to play, however if you understand the words carefully it fits in the film generally.
Small budget means they are more surprising and clever in delivering to their audiences to what the audiences what.
Experience produces and creates a real effect to the atmosphere. Which then attracts the audiences by clipping scenes on Youtube, Newsround, adverts and billboards. But its a small budget so it more likely to attract the audiences of secondary school students.

(6) I have learnt so much such as how to operate a video camera using handheld and keeping steady so it doesn't not film as if the camera was shaking side by side. Also learnt how to operate and fix a tripod.
At first I thought this is a hard task to film something from scratch our of the ordinary with a pen and paper. However if you put your head down you do not understand how much you can produce and creative you can be.
I learnt how to edit which I never done before. We had to edit the film on Final Cut Pro which is industry standard software which was very interesting and fascinating to use. I got the hang of it after couple of trails because at first there is so many buttons to click on and you get confused, however I really enjoyed being in charge and taking control but also listening to each others viewpoint, but end of it I learnt from my mistakes.
I learnt how edit soundtracks and make them cleaner to hear and sharper, using Soundtrack Pro. I never thought I could make up my own music or edit sounds that been professionally established. But it was a good experience and I really enjoyed it.
Also I haven't ever used mini DV tapes so it was my first time and I never heard of them tapes before so it was something new to me to take in.
Finally I never blogged before which was a new experience but challenging to keep up to deadlines and requirements on blogspot.com.

(7a) From the preliminary task I learnt how to act and use a camera at the same time for another group which was really fun. Preliminary task was way more different then the final production because the preliminary task took less time and no editing was needed. But it gave us confidence and focus to use the camera properly for the final production. Also gave us more confidence and ideas how to deliver the final piece.
Working as ground, made me learn new things of each other, listening to each others ideas it was like having more than one mind. Which was put to together to give us the final production with the help of the three minds.
(b) I believed that hand held made it more dramatic than having a tripod holding the camera at the same angle and position. But we got used to handling the camera handheld because of our preliminary task at the beginning because there was not any tripods left so we continued it on to our final productions. But the tripod keeps the film more smooth than realistic.
(c) Was really interesting because it was hard to think about where to film and what location and keeping the 180 degree rule in our mind. So we had to think about the angles and side we filmed on in different locations. However the overall performance was really good becuase everyone had kept in the mind what we had to focus on.
The match on action was delivered brilliantly and was dramatic and well done.
(d) Delievered by keeping everything smooth and in control so we don't slip behind and lose track. We kept up to date and the knowlege and experience had helped massively. The running of the film kept togther and went well. Made the film flow accurately and steadily to create and build up tension. I learnt how to edit and show the match on action really well but most of all the important rule of all the 180 degree rule was really interesting to learn.
