I decided to post our film to my Facebook wall, asking for people to review it.


Here are some of the things people said:

Control of Narrative 8.5

Good shot variety, good continuity style editing, good use of non-diegetic sound (especially that jazzy piano tune).

All in all, it's an excellent concept and you pulled if off very well
There were some lines of dialogue that were a bit off, like when the main character left the house, the delivery was a bit off
And it could've done without the last line, I think that it might've been a more powerful image if there had just been the main character with his smile on etc.
To be honest, better than I imagined it might end up

All in all I feel we achieved our goals. Everyone seems to like it, and the views are moving quite fast on youtube (unfortunately on our first draft as its been on there for longer.)   

Even though i can't physically watch it one more time, because of the amount of times i've seen it already, i'm proud of it. 

        

Evaluation

We Evaluated our project. We had some initial issues with rehearsing the questions, but we managed to get it filmed and edited in one day.

The Delivery Boy

We finally did it!

Its been weeks and weeks of sheer effort, but its paid off.
I genuinely believe one of the most stressful things anyone can ever do is make a film. Nevertheless, the stress and emotion doesn't matter anymore because we can call this film our own, and we're happy with our creation.

Render

We're done.

The film is rendering in high quality. the only thing left to do is film the evaluation, and then we can close the project. I cannot describe how exited i am

Shot List

This is the shot log of every clip we used in the opening sequence. On the day of the shoot, we went back to mine and viewed every shot, making a note of which ones to use and which ones to dismiss. This made the edit considerably easier.

Showcase

This is just one of the 8 reveiws we got back. The rest can be found on the group blog ( mediagp.blogspot.com )

Most of the reviews were pretty much the same at this one,

but we did gather some criticisms which lead us to change  part of the film.

It needed music, 

The voice-over needed to be redone, 

and the clips have to be cut down considerably 

We thought that all points that the class made were constructive and insightful.

Film Ident

Me, Luke and Alice made a film ident for our opening sequence. Georgia couldn't make it to the studio today.



We've decided to call our film production "Phantom Productions" because was electrocuted by a "Fantom" powered microphone in the studio on the first day of the edit. It has a nice personal feel and a backstory, so we decided we'd name it that.
