Prelim-The breakfast club remake

Evaluation question 1

Evaluation question 2

Liam Hughes Slidely by Slidely Slideshow


Through the use of Slidely I created a montage of images where we showed the different characters. Where we challenge the conventions by using two female bullies dressed in mean girl clothes, bullying a male character which isn't actually what is usually shown in stereotypical high school drams. Usually we have the female characters bullying other females because females are shown to be weaker than males but in this case the females are shown to have more power which is strange and challenges the conventions.

Evaluation question 3

KIZOA PRESENTATION

We did a teen drama which we based around films like not another teen movie and mean girls. These are both set in high schools so we think that their distributors like paramount productions would be a great company to also distribute ours. Because it is a teen drama we had many more titles then films that are youth based like honeytrap.

Sound-Mercia

Sound was quite difficult to figure out as we had to choose a sound that would match the opening sequence. I used garage band to make some beats which suited our opening sequence. As it was difficult making a beat just using garage band, i used clip grab and looked on you-tube to find other beats which matched our opening sequence. I had to make sure that it was not copy right. After i finally found a sound i was happy with and my group was also happy with, i imported it in to garage band and added some of the beats that i had put together beforehand. When i was completely satisfied with the sound, i then imported the sound onto final cut pro where the opening sequencewas to see if the sound will go well with the film.

                  

How we found motion

How to use Motion

Choice of fonts.

Why did we choose these fonts?

The reason behind our choice of fonts was the fact that we needed something clear yet simple, something appealing to the target audience but would suit our sequence at the same time. The fonts we chose were the ones we found on our motion templates we believed that they gave a more simple yet sofisticated look to our opening sequence. So through the use of motion we created our titles and coloured them white in order to suit the themes we were using.

What made our sequence so effective?

What made our sequence so effective?

I believe that what made our sequence so effective was the use of our establishing shots, I believe  that through the use of those shots we really developed the setting and showed off the surrounding area. They also helped with distinguishing the change in location and the difference between flashbacks and present time.

Blogging design- Theme,colours and fonts

We overall decided on our theme because we believed that it was very clear and easy to read and made our work look efficient and presentable. I feel like the nature vibe is rather ironic considering one of our locations is actually set in a park but other than that I think it just has a very nice layout.

Costume Reflection

Overall we didn't really have many problems with costumes or Mise En Scene but we did come across a few for example:

-Because we have to shoot some of the scenes again we had to wear the same clothes we wore the first time round which created some problems
-I also had bruises in one shot but in the next I didn't but luckily we were able to hide then
-Mercia also forgot to wear heels to one of the scenes which cause some speculation

How we worked as a team

Teamwork

Overall I feel like we worked as a team really well with very little problems, I feel like filming made us all closer as a group and we really began to understand eachother and found it easy for us to contribute to new ideas and criticisms.

The only problem we really had was communication and keeping to our timetable because when either of these two things mess up its very hard to get back on track but we managed to do this and finish filming. If I could I would choose the same people to work with again because they were really easy to get along with.

Interview with the actor

What was It like working with the rest of the cast and crew?

It was a very enjoyable experience and was very calm and thought out, the directer had a clear vision on what she wanted to achieve which made it easier on us because all we had to do was turn up and act. Everyone was really friendly very efficient.

What did you find the hardest thing about filming?

One of the hardest things about filming was the location changes and the frequent weather changes which made filming unpredictable and risky because we couldn't have one shot in the rain and the same shot sunny at the same time it just wouldn't work which made it sort of tricky and hard to judge.

What was your favourite thing about filming?

I really enjoyed the props we used such as he glasses and the clothes they wore, I also liked the fact that we were able to film in different locations and in flashbacks which gave more freedom and change.

What we changed

Changes

Since we first started filming we have changed many things ranging from our sound to the whole plot itself. Since our first few rough cuts we have changed the sound, we changed our sound about 3 times until we found the best sound we believed brought out the sort of emotive and sympathetic feelings we were trying to get the audience to feel towards the victim.

We also changed the locations a few tines to fit our time tables and the sort of themes we were going for, we also changed them due to risk assessments such as the weather and heights and didn't want to put the equipment at risk of damage. We also changed the names of some of our characters as shown during the filming process below.
