7 Draft:

The beginning needs to be cut or changed, cut it from later on in the sequence

The whooshing sound detract from the narrative and feel of the film. The sound should enhance not detract.

Lack of sound at 4:38

Blog-

Remember the title of the film and how does the review change this. Change it to a specific month. 

Change the review image, to a better framed image. Find a better. An image that is more about the genre of the film

Feedback

Discuss the genre more carefully
Ensure that enough research has been done for the target audience and is the text appropriate.
What have I learnt from research
Provide a commentary on the audience reaction, "evaluation"
Start thinking about analysing how and why we have used certain types of technology
Different variations on the answering
Discuss the institutions which will produce and distribute
Reviews finished
Write up/podcast of the last piece of footage

Feedback

Consistent font - the opening font for the credits do not fit the genre and the title. I will also have to change the font on the poster to make it consistent throughout the production

Change the fast zoom at the beggining

Look at actual credits no camera/director

Using the same or similar sound to create a difference between the flashbacks and the real world.

Re-film the ending to finish/connect the narrative

The footage on the beach is realistic links to Loach and Arnold in its observation style.

The flashback 'light' is too disconcerting and dark.

Feedback

Strength

Targets
Development of the posters (Screen shots from photoshop and where the posters are taken from)

Teacher notes
To improve:
Increase the amount of footage in the montage sequence. The montage on the landscape
Michael winterbottom every day
Dont like the candle
Not sure if the letter close up is to clumsy for the scene
Iconography to children is throughout so it would be better if it is a child at the end.
Research Michael winterbottom-draw the inspirations

Graded at a B

Use of tension clock

Using new media to exhibit aspects of the film (keek)

Keek
Keek is advertised as a 'video style twitter' where users share up to 36 seconds of footage and uploaded to other peole. This means it can be used to share different aspects of the film e.g. the actual filming and to ask if certain shots work. However Keek doesn't allow for people to upload from a secondary source and must be recorded using the Keek App. This means that you can't upload things like trailers to the site, so it's harder to actually advertise on the site. It is better for sharing bits of the behind the scenes. Which can be interesting.




I have used Keek to show certain aspects of the production of the film .
