Evaluation activity 1 - 9 screen shots

The first screen shot shows the title of our film. (RELLIK)

The second screen shot shows the setting/location of our film. (When Danielle walks away to go to the bathroom it shows a clear layout of the hall we used)

The third screen shot shows the costumes/ props that we used. (When the clown slowly appears by the door getting ready to kill Mark)

The fourth screen shot shows some camera work and editing that we did/used. (When Danielle dies by having a bottle shoved down her throat we had to carefully edit the shots we took together to make them link as though the bottle was going down her throat)

The fifth screen shot shows the genre and how the oepning suggests it. (When Mark has been killed a shot of haha above him shows the killer does not care)

The sixth screen shot shows the story and how the oepning sets it up. (Very first shot of Mark and Dominic clearing up from a previous party sets the time of about the evening when only they should be around cleaning)

The seventh screen shot shows how the characters are introduced. (When Danielle appears in the door way walking towards Mark holding a bottle of wine showing she is a teenage girl who is slightly drunk)

The eighth screen shot shows the special effects that we have used. (When the clown goes all blurry this was to demonstrate Daniell's vision as she is drunk)

The ninth screen shot shows the style font and choice for our title. (This is the same as the first screen shot to show the choice and style that we chose to suit our film genre)

Well done to everyone in our film

Evaluation activity - What we could have improved

1) In the background of one of our scenes you can see the equipment and props needed for the rest of the film. However we only noticed during editing but it looks like some random stuff left over from the party.

2) We could have made sure that we were checking the time limits for the each scene as we were only allowed a max of two minutes, we had to cut out a lot of footage to make the opening exactly two minutes.

3) In the scene where Dominic walks past Danielle we did two shots rather then one straight pan of him. In our film we only panned once and it was cut due to too much footage so bad us!

Jasmine is a media student and so she will want to watch the film as part of that; and would therefore lend a critical viewing approach. Her favourite genre is horror, so this is exactly her type of film.

Mr. Thornton is a media teacher and so he would want to be updated with recent films, whether or not they are his favourite genre. This is not to say he would neccesarily enjoy our film; he would lend a critical approach to viewing it. However his age range is ideal and his music preference hints that he could enjoy it. Horror is basically drama with gore and silly scares anyway.
