Overall impression and targets

My overall impression of the final draft of the opening sequence is that :
- I think we have improved from the fourth draft and managed time appropriately.
- Put the video in black and white to have the film noir feel but used a phone for a prop to make it more modern. 


Targets :
- Phone scene in focus
- Include more camera movement
- Improve the music or even make my own music with garage band.


Experience:
This course gave me the opportunity to learn how to :
- use the camera, tripod and lights
- imovie editing program
- know more about powerpoint
- learnt to use sites such as blogger and google  
The evaluation help me to look back at my work and see the development from the preliminary to the final draft.

Evaluation

The evaluation was the last thing we had to do. We did some research to be prepared and know what to say, we also included a presentation to help the viewers understand and help us talk about the whole research, planning and production of this course.

Final Draft

Draft 4 and Evaluation

Teacher's feedback:

WWW:

-         Great music

-         Establishing shot

-         Great shots of getting ready - dressed

EBI:

-         Scene of them in the bed – use wider range of shots

-         Close up (extreme) of phone – to see who is calling

-         Editing getting out of bed is quite quick

-         Lipstick scene – closer to the lips (extreme close-up)

-         Maybe do something with the hair?

-         Inconstant sounds in the background – should’ve low music in the background

-         Wider range of shots when she’s walking

-         Voiceover – no diagetic sound in the background – just voiceover with low music

-         Longer shots of photos – in focus

Mark: 41/60

Level: 3
