FINISHED!

AHHH! I'm glad to say....we have FINALLY FINISHED OUR PRODUCTION!
All filming and editing is complete and is ready to be burned on disc. It has been, hard,stressful,tiring,long, and just down right annoying....but I loved every minute.
The cast was brilliant and everyone who took part in it a big thank you. I personally think I could have done better but I have been told by many "no one ever truly likes their own production"
My group. We've had up! and downs... But I think we done an excellent job and really proud.

Action Plan
We just got our print productions to finalize and hand it.

For the last time. Its been one hell of a ride.

Peace out suckers xD

18/03/11 to 24/03/11 Progress Report and Actiong Plan By Sital

Friday 18th March
Due to complcations I had to do quite a lot of filming by myself. So we went to sanjay's house. We filmed the ending killing scenes which I would say was a productive day, however looking over some of the footage we will need to re shoot.

Over the week we have been coming in and editing. We really need to get craking as we only have 11days to have a complete product.
Also we've been working on our print productions which have been going quite well. 

For the following ten days we have left we have hoping to finishs filming on the monday coming up and spend morning, breaks, lunches and after school time editing.
I will be puttin up a plan for the next ten days but thats all for now.

Test Screening Feedback Form:

Average Media Language Grade: B

Average Conventions Grade: B

Average Creativity Grade: C

Average Attention to Detail Grade: C

Average Technical Proficiency Grade: C

Overall Positive Comments:

Cinematography - Good acting scenes. Good use of the pan. The actors are good. Variety of shots and techniques.

Mise-en-scene - Represents the 'OUTSIDER'.  Ripped clothing. School atmosphere. Used setting very well. Variety of locations. Bed scenes.

Lighting - Variety of lighting. Lighting was clear. Successful high key lighting. Can see the characters well, they are not overshadowed. Natural. Bright lighting lit up the scene.

Sound - Clear sound. Sound was clear to understand.

Conventions - Successful demonic eyes.

 
Overall Criticisms:

Cinematography - Slower panning. Steady it. Camera work was jittery. Focus on small things.

Mise-en-scene - Clothing should be better. Props are not visible when they are throwing it at the protagonist. Emphasise the ripped clothing.

Lighting -  Lighting of the bed scene. Be careful of reflections. Very dark, needs light. Too much reflections. Less brightness.

Sound - Couldn't hear the sounds in the shots due to a problem on the computer. More clear. We could not hear any sound. More dramatic sounds.

Conventions - Bullying related to horror? More thriller scenes.

In my opinion this feedback was pointless as nobody could write a proper sentence with feedback that we haven't already heard! -_-

ActionPlan + ProgressReport 14/02/2011

Progress Report: This week we have shooted our bullying scenes again; last time we had a problem with the sound. We have experimented with different shots of the same scene; so we have a vairety to choose from.


Action Plan: We just need to start filming the 'possessed' scene at Mohammed Rahman's house as we needed more shots to choose from. We haven't yet filmed our 'rape' scene as we need Sital for the scene. Therefore we have no choice but to shoot that after the half term.

Action Plan

Action plan for next week

Our action plan for next week is to be finishing of our production work such as the bitches scene which are the school scenes to be done in the last week of school.  Also to do more research on various trailers in order to pick up more techniques which can be used in our production such as the camera angles and movements etc.

What Went Well...Even Better If

What Went Well (WWW)

  • Progressing on our production such as recording clips inside and out of school
  • Getting the right props for the production
  • Recording our main scene of our production work which was the possessed scene
Even Better If (EBI)
  • We recorded our final clips of the bitches scene
  • More trailers were analysed
  • Research on english film studios

Progress Report and Action Plan - Kevin / Week Starting 14th Feb

This week I did some trailer analysis on a movie trailer called asylum. Furthermore , I did various amount of blog work from typography ideas to video transition ideas which would help our group during our editing period.

For this week and next week I plan to get the majority of the filming complete so our group will have the half term to go over the clips and see where in the trailer it would appear.

Monday 14 February 2011

Action Plan + Progress Report:

Progress Report: Last week we got many different shots of the 'bitches' bullying our protagonist; however some of the shots didn't come out as expected due to the sound and lighting. The rest of our group filmed at our friends house, for when our protagonist turns loco; i couldnt make it due to the fact that i was ill : ( .  However we made a lot of progress, although our shots were rough we now have experience of how we should film.

Action Plan: This week we plan to carry on filming the scenes without Sital involved and will catch up with her scenes when she arrives from India! We will also try experimenting different types of shots; to get a variety to choose from. We will be filming with the 'bitches' and try doing the mental scene again.
