Week Ten – Final production

EDITING

Did you finish your production on I finished and perfected my psychological thriller short film on
time? the deadline date after 1 ½ weeks of editing and getting the
last vital shots.

How did you gain feedback? Was this I received feedback by sending out my short film and a link to
process effective/valuable? a survey that I created with questions with how I could
improve my short film, e.g. improve editing, script, actors.

What have you learned from your I have learnt that in my next short film I should put more
feedback? context behind the characters so that the audience are more
able to have either sympathy or joy for them due to the
emotional attachment that could be created between them
by either relation to situations or if the character becomes a
role model to some of the audience. Some people said that
the acting was poor at sometimes, from this I have learnt that I
should over view right after shooting every scene to make sure
that it is suitable for the final cut.

How did your work compare to Things like lighting and plot was very similar to one of the
professional productions? videos I analysed; ‘Yellow’. The both of our plots had the same
style and feeling of severe guilt that the character
experiences from murdering someone.

The lighting before the equilibrium is similar where it is not too


dark but the toning is quite dull to give off the right
atmosphere/feeling towards the audience that either shows
that something negative is going to happen or the low lighting
could represent the dullness of their live.

The locations were quite similar with another video I analysed


which is called: ‘Dream Girl’, not because of the actual
location but because it could be used as a place where all of
the dark happenings occur.

Both storylines have a nightmare scene. They both are


unexpected places for a nightmare to happen since mine is
set in a wooded path which would be very easy to present it
as a warm and inviting place also with Dream Girls nightmare
location is set at a seaside on a beach but it was made very
gloomy. The use of day light was taken into consideration in
my production and presumably the other production, When I
filmed the nightmare scene it was either cloudy or the sun was
just setting making the lighting under the trees darker, the
same was done in ‘Dream Girl’, in the main characters
nightmare scenes it was a very cloudy day helping with the
gloomy lighting.

Have you completed your final I have not completed my final evaluation.
evaluation?

Are you on track this week? If not, I need to start my final evaluation and finish off a couple of
how far behind are you? weekly blogs (Weekly blogs 4 and 5).

What work do you need to complete I need to complete my final evaluation out of lesson in order
outside of lessons to stay on track? to complete it in time for the deadline.

High Grade Tips

Evaluation & Reflection


● ‘reasoned decisions and inform the development of ideas’ – both your evaluation and the
weekly reflections above will clearly show both how and why your ideas developed throughout
the project
● ‘demonstrating clarity in thinking’ – all of the above plus very clear links between your research,
planning, idea development and the production of your poster and film trailer
