Evaluation task 8

Over the past year doing media studies i have learnt a lot. Next year there is some things i would do differently when making the trailer. One thing i will change is the genre of the film i make. This year i made an opening two minutes of an action film, so next year i will use a different genre. When filming our opening two minutes this year we used Guns, although they were fake and we didn't use them in a bad way, they could potentially get us in trouble. So to stay out of trouble i think it is a good idea not do an action film.

Looking back at how i filmed the opening two minutes i would change a lot of things. One thing i would change is filming each shot from different angles, this would mean that when editing the film we would be able to pick from a range of shots, therefore improving the quality of the film. Also i will try and film all in one day. When filming for the opening two minutes we filmed on seperate days, this would mean that the weather may of been a bit different so it would be more unrealistic. If the filming is done in one day the film would seem more real.

When filming for the trailer next year i want to try and make the mis-en-scene as good as it can be. Before we film for the trailer i would want things like clothing to fit the characters as good as possible. Having the right costumes are very important in a film. This year when we filmed our opening two minutes the costumes were fairly good, but I feel next year it can be better. This year the villains were all in black and one of the antagonists was wearing a mask to make himself seem more intimidating. I believe the sound that we used this year fit in well with the film, also the sound was made and not taken of the internet, I believe this is a good thing. As a target for next year when editing, I want to make sure all of the shots flow nicely, I can do this by spending more time editing and also use continuity techniques more frequently.
