What we did today!

Well actually I'm first going to tell you what we did yesterday first. Yesterday, we started off the lesson by creating the title's music that occurs at the start of the film. ( see link below!! ) We did this on Garageband on the Mac's. I found this program very useful and Hannah and I had a lot of different types of music to choose from. In the end we chose an energetic, high beat piece that we had created ourselves as we found this matched the mood and the genre of the film. We also decided to go in at lunch as we had run out of time in the lesson to finally tidy up all of the editing and add in some subtitle's to the conversation scene in our film.

However today, as a class, we decided which 5 areas we would be analysing our films on. After much debate, we decided on Continuity and Editing, Fullfilling the Brief, Camerawork, Mise-en-Scene and Sound. We then watched each other films and gave each film either a "poor", a "good" or an "excellent" for each area. Here are the results we got from each group:

Ciaran,Milly and Sophie:

Camerawork: Excellent
Fullfilling Brief: Excellent
Continuity: Excellent
Mise-en-Scene: Good
Sound: Good

Harry and Chris:

Camerawork: Excellent
Fullfilling Brief: Excellent
Continuity: Excellent
Mise-en-Scene: Good
Sound: Good

Jake, Daniel and Emma:

Camerawork: Good
Fullfilling Brief: Good
Continuity: Good
Mise-en-Scene: Good
Sound: Good

Rachel, Roisin, Gemma and Jade:

Camerawork: Good
Fullfilling Brief: Excellent
Continuity: Excellent
Mise-en-Scene: Excellent
Sound: Excellent

Matt and Will

Camerawork: Good
Fullfilling Brief: Good
Continuity: Excellent
Mise-en-Scene: Good
Sound: Good

Looking over this feedback, it seemed that most of the groups did like our film. The one area that seemed to be marked the lowest was Sound. This is most probably because the only sound in our film is the music at the start. Though we used subtitles to go over the conversation scene, this seemed to not appeal to most of the groups and this is maybe something we should think about when we do our proper task.
