Film review

 Today was the day to show our movie off for some critical reflection. Even though our movie isn't completely edited yet our group had someone specifically to review our movies for us. Personally I had my sister review our movie. Some people might think this is biased and she wont give me a bad review but my sister will critique every thing I do wrong so she will be the perfect person for reviewing the movie. So starting off the movie normally we were at the parking lot at target. She didn't specifically say anything about that. But one scene she says how the camera is off angle with the following shot which is suppose to be in the same area. I took that critique and wrote it down to share with my group later. After that I resumed the movie, for a good 30 seconds she doesn't say anything and keeps watching the movie. As were nearing the unedited portion of our movie she points out that the background sound behind the middle portion of our movie is way too loud compared to the actual original audio. I again wrote this down because this is very valuable and important information that goes into making a good and not messy movie. After I resume the video I warn her that the next portion was still unedited. She understands and we proceed, she goes on to critique things that we were already going to fix upon since this portion was unedited. Overall I think the review went pretty well, although she liked the movie she felt it was a little generic which is something we cant change up right now. The critiques she gave me will help out our group to see an outside perspective in our tunnel vision heads and we collectively agreed to implement needed changes to our movie.

Genre Research: Comedy

  My group and I are also researching comedy. As much as we want action, we also need to laugh. A comedy would also be a lot easier for us since we can just be ourselves. Comedy movies have a lot of close- ups, pans, long shots, and zooms. Close ups allow you to lead your audience into a more intimate setting. You can literally bring your audience closer to the action. And it emphasizes the importance of what we see. But as the push continues, it all breaks, letting viewers know they're watching a comedy movie.Long shots  give an overall context to the scene and usually lets viewers know that what we’re seeing right now isn’t the whole picture... until it zooms all the way out. Static shots, or stand still shots, build suspense. In comedy movies it allows room for the characters to correct themselves or something, Almost like a "wait for it" moment. Zooms emphasize expressions shown throughout the film. Props used in comedy films range from nothing to everything- like a t...

   Props Being that our commercial is an Apple Watch commercial, our main prop will be the Apple Watch. However we will also have different color Apple Watch bands as well as props aswell Costumes We have came up with these costumes to flow with the message we are trying to portray of the apple watch within that scene. Therefore, two of us will be exempliying the athletics perks of the Apple Watch, by wearing athletic clothing, to show the health and workout benefits of the watch. Another scene will include one of us wearing a really nice outfit, which may include, but is not limited to a nice shirt, jeans and some nice shows. This will help show the customization part of the watch and how stylist it can be and easy access it can. Basically proving the theory "a phone on your wrist".  Schedule  September 23rd:  Our group researched the codes and conventions of Apple Watch commercials  September 24th:  Our group started to plan the different props we ar...

Film review changes

Image
My group and I worked on our film in class. We talked about what modifications we thought needed to be made before we started. My colleagues and I showed our video to strangers last week. They offered us their feedback on how they liked our film and what modifications they thought should be made once they had seen it. We reviewed which adjustments we could and couldn't change as the group went around discussing what changes they were told to make. Many users claimed that the sound was an issue, and that it was difficult to hear specific parts of the actor or actress. Damaine did his best to improve the volume, but it couldn't be adjusted completely without re-filming everything. The editing was also brought to our attention as a concern. We'd have to fix it because some people thought it looked choppy. Damaine corrected what he could as the rest of the crew and I stood behind him, watching what he was doing. He also edited out certain sections that we thought were unneeded ...
