Final Piece

*Please watch DVD version as it is better quality*

Peer Assessment of Draft version

We had a lesson were classmates got to give feedback on eachothers magazine/film production. From the feedback given by my classmates i believe i recieved a mid/low level 3 which i am reasonaly pleased with, however i am aiming for a 4. My classmates notified me that they liked my idea and the shots i have put together and that it has a lot of potential, so i was happy with that. I still need to add opening credits into the film opening and i also need to introduce some soundtrack/music to go in the film. I havent given any thought about a title for my film yet and will do over the next 24 hours. I have madea draft piece of music, however i wont use it on my piece because i know i can do better. Over the next 2 weeks i will be staying after school to do editing, creating music and improving my film opening.

First Draft Media

That was my First draft media, i have already filmed more and i have more to edit and to add onto my project. I am pleased with how it is going editing wise, however filming has been a little issue because the car i used in my production was infact broken into whilst filming so that took time to fix and look normal again, and also some of the actors have been busy and not been able to be filmed. I am learning a lot through this process.

'On location'

1. This is where i would shoot the scene where the character in the scene opens the boot of a car with a body and a spade in and he picks up the spade and flings it over his shoulder, then i will freeze frame the picture of a close up of the characters face including the spade in the picture.
I choose this location because its small, and the lighting is perfect for the scene. i will shoot the scene in the dark, but the parking lot lights will add the gloomy look because only some of the lights work so it will make the scene look really good. fig 1.

2. I thought i should add picture of the car into this location post because this car fits into location 1. (see fig 1.) I choose to use one of the characters Black Clio because i believe that the black/darkness interacts well with the story plot/scene. I would of liked a black Land Rover but i could not find one i can use so i decided to use a black car i could get hold off. fig 2.

3. This is the inside location of the office. i will have to work hard to transfer this room into a gangster office set but it is do able. i love this location becuse as you can see from the picture the lighting it perfect to make it dark and gloomy/smokey. I believe i can make this scene look really good.
This location is actually my brothers flat where i am doing most of my filming. fig 3.

4. This is a shot of outside of my brothers flat (office and parking lot scene) i got a shot of this location because i may use a camera angle from across the road of a view of a character entering of leaving the 'office'. fig 4.
