our new film

The last week or so have been very busy for our group. We as a group knew that our original idea of making a horror film was going to be very difficult due to weather outside and lighting. So we made a new short film to try and get the best possible marks that we could.

On Monday 9 of febuary, we filmed for our new film which is of the comedy genre. Because we had limited time, weve had very little time to plan how we were going to use camera angles and props in the film. This caused arguments between out group over where to put crops, what types of camerea shots to do like panning, tracking, high angle and low angle. Even though we had not planned, created a script or made a story bored. Hannah and Emily managed to tape enough shots for us to produce a new short clip. In my opinion, i found filming fun and i enjoyed it like my other group mebers did even with the arguments included. I think the downside to our film was that we ddint get enough shot types to show our true producing skills and the diagetic music was also a problem with filming. If we were able to improve on our film, then i would try adding more shots to the film so tehres a high chance that the audience intended understands what the characters will be like in the film.

However, Editing has been a problem for us as stated in the comment below. I, if there is a next time to making or doing something in the editing suite, would like to have more imput into how to cut from scene to scene and have any other influences in making a decision to help improve out film. We would like our followers to add a comment on our movie when it has been posted and tell us the good bits, bad bits and ways of improving our film for future reference.

Thanks, Nilesh Patel

you have quite a good evaluation of your film. I have watched your film and thought it was ok. It could have been better if you could improved on your editing like variation of transitions and cuttings. i thought the mise en scene was good you have kept costume and make up and location realistic. The sound is mostly diagetic and music in the backround which i thought was ok. could have made it a little bit clearer. I thought the camera angles was very good so as the camera movement.
Overall i thought your movies was ok as you said you could have done even better if you had more time.
