Unit 5: Short film production

  To gather audience feedback we made an questionnaire for the audience to answer through Survey Monkey a platform that can be shared with others that can be edited before sending to ask appropriate questions. From the feedback we have gathered we will act upon the feedback and improve our short film production, this will strengthen the quality of the short film for we have primary feedback from the target audience on what can be improved on the short film and if the storyline and editing concludes the short films conventions we included. Based on the feedback that we have been given we will be making user to act upon the changes that need to be done, for example we will be making sure that the editing changes will be altered and there will be extra footage added to elaborate onto the storyline that is already there. A short scene will be added of when the main male character looks up into the sky where the dream like footage is further shown, this will help show the audience that ...

  First of all you need to select the full clip, once you do this a white box will appear around both (this means that the audio and clip you have chosen is linked). If you want to the unlink your audio and chose a different audio then you need to right click onto the clip. This allows the user to then edit that certain piece of footage including the audio and the visuals at the same time unless one is locked. When the video stays the play the blue line follows for where the auto footage is at, this helps during the editing stages because it means that the editor can stop the footage at a more specific time to further edit and make changes for the audio editing to be improved.  After you have right clicked a drop down menu will appear, to unlink the audio you need to scroll down the menu then press onto unlink, I did this because I wanted to get rid of the background audio since there was roadworks happening and people shouting where we were filming. Furthermore, after...

During the film ing process we abided by health and safety guidelines through checking the locations we  would be filming at and the safety procedures that are already in place at the current time. To secure the health and safety guidelines we made sure that the equipment was checked for the battery percentage before it was taken out and it was all packed into safety bags to then be taken to the specific locations. This made sure that all the equipment was secure and safe, and none would become damaged during the transportation from locations. Whilst recording we made sure that all the wires and equipment was safely secured together to make sure that nobody would trip over any of the wires whilst we was filming, to state all the security measures and safety measure we will take we have created a risk assessment outlining all the possible risks and how we can avoid them from occurring and how we could solve them. Before filming we checked the access to the fire exits in th...

 

During the editing of the scene we have had to slice the footage into 3 separate sections to then be able to further add a slow motion shot in the scene to help add to the atmosphere of the short film. From doing this it means that the audience will be able to identify the genre of the short film and the storyline that is occurring.    To add special effects to the scene we have added the special effects of a slow motion shot of the guy looking at the girl, this adds a more intense and a 'romantic' feeling to the short film. This has been done because it adds to the classic scene of when the first cross over to be dramatic in other short films, this adds a classic touch to the short film and makes it seem more professional.  We decided to slow the clip down by 50% to make the scene have a more dramatic and intense atmosphere to the scene. This scene needs to be more intense because it needs to create a dramatic feel to add to the storyline of the guy liking the girl and t...

  This scene meets the generic conventions because it shows different angles on the scene and allows the audience to feel what the atmosphere is like in the location. This helps add to the generic conventions because in real short films I have studied it replicates the conventions of how certain camera shots and lighting can change the view of a shot and change the genre of it through the different camera angles and shot types. This footage shows the male being more dominant through being able to pot one off the pool balls. From there being a dryer lighting on the date scene it shows that there can be a comfortable and warm feeling towards the scene and shows how it could connote the genre of romance. The angle of this shot allows there to be more conventions added to the scene and connotes the idea of being an intense and confident atmosphere in the scene. This scene shows the generic conventions through it shows the makes reaction to the girl walking by him giving the audience he...
