EvaluationI think that the movie ‘wind talkers’ helped me massively with getting in all my ideas in to film & edit ‘Faded’. Without watching and analysing this film I wouldn’t of had the skills and the knowledge to shoot all the camera angles I did. ‘WindTalkers’ is a war film so a variety of shots and effects were used to make everything seem as realistic as possible. This movie improved my knowledge of film making and all the process it goes through.

In our short film we shot many different angles such as-Birds eye view -Longshot-Low angle/High angle shot -Over the shoulder shot -Close up -Shot Reverse Shot

All these shots and many more were used in this film as it was one of the most dramatic moments in the world

EvaluationPre-production stage

I think that in the time we had our planning and layouts for the story were successful. Out pre-production process was the most helpful and successful, because without planning for the film we would have been lost not knowing what to film, we wouldn’t of had anything planned, we wouldn’t know where to start or how to film anything. And our short film wouldn’t be as good as it is right now I reckon that our filming went very well because we used a variety of shots and angle, we used the right angles for each scene which made the short film interesting. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to add any non diagetic noises, but what we did have time for was putting special effects in, which made the scenes seem more realistic.

EvaluationStrengths and weaknesses

The strengths of our A-B story was the angle choices & how we filmed everything, also some of the effects I used to make some scenes the most realistic I could, almost to make the watchers feel what the actor is feeling at that very time, our use of hand held filming was also one of our strengths to add more realistic affects.

We also had some weaknesses which was filming everything in chronological order, also in our film we made a few mistakes, there was a couple of scenes towards the end where some scenes were skipped too much and everything moved forward too quickly, but I think that that’s our only downfall in our 3 minute film.

I have used conventions of a movie poster such as an iconic image (myself) to show who the main character is in our film. The filter used helps to code for the drug use in our film, looking at my eyes they are red, a main attribute of taking narcotics. The weaknesses of my poster is not having a tag line/slogan which would help the audience to recognise our film.

To improve I could’ve added a blur effect to epitomise the title and film.

The strengths in this poster is that its the title is in capital letters and it is in a big font size so its eye catching to the viewers of the poster. Also, it shows the age rated to imply that it is directed at people aged 12 and above. The weaknesses in this poster is that there is no slogan to give a short highlight about the story.

The improvements for this poster is that that filter can look more blurry to relate to the title ‘F.A.D.E.D’ . Also, the a aged rated box could blend it with the background or just use a basic ‘12 rated logo’.

I have faded the original image to give it the same effect as the title. The title is in the centre in bold white, I think that one of my weaknesses was that I didn’t use any colour so my picture couldn’t represent anything, its plain. I also added a rating to show that our film is highly rated

I could have added colour and put the title at the top or the bottom, I could have added more detail.

I think that one of my strengths in my poster is that its right type of image you expect to see from a teaser. Another one of my strengths are my effects which I've added which correlates with the name of the film. Also the colour of the writing matches the red in the background. I've also chosen red because it’s a colour which indicates danger. My weaknesses are that I never included the age rating on my poster. Also there's a lot of negative space on the top half of my poster where I could have included a slogan.

We spoke to a few of the people who got to see the advanced screening and they are really pleased with the performance of our cast and crew. “The film seemed really professional with all the editing” said Munirba as she was being interviewed, another interviewee Tyrone said “ The angles and shots were really well used. We've also had a lot of positive criticism saying that we should of added some soundtracks to liven up the movie or add some more emphasis in certain scenes

As I mentioned in my strengths and weaknesses some improvements could have been made, I reckon that I could of added the actors names at the top to fill the space up, even a slogan would have make it a full teaser poster
