Final Evaluation

Its a bit late due to Ive been trying to comprehend what i actually think has gone good and bad with my project. The conventions of my trailer have come across to the target audience and the connotations have been seen by all. The characters represent their specific sex, race and personality which i am really pleased with. The genre is a little more the come to terms with. I was hoping for a general view of a action/ thriller view with a sub genre of urban feel to it. The use of some of the settings in London helped well with that also the backing track really set the mood and atmosphere.

My planning has been brilliant. From the very first day i knew what i was aiming at. I had the idea in my head and stuck to the path. This made it easier for me despite actually having to produce the shots. Luckily i have a natural flare to organise and see the shots before actually shooting it. Weather was sometimes a problem not allowing me to do what i wanted when i wanted. I also saw this wit a lot of other students their planning was very bad which then meant they struggled with for seeing what they were going to produce and what they actually wanted as a whole. This spurred my confidence.

My strengths were editing and filming itself. I blended everything in well to create a small but unsure narrative to get the audience wondering what is going to happen i also had this feed back. quote ' where is the actual film then, i want to see it' This put a smile on my face knowing that someone liked it enough to actually want to see it as a film. If i was to do anything different i think it would be the length i think with the genre the trailer itself could be a little longer to get across to the audience more of what my point is. With this genre its difficult to get the meaning across. Something like horror is really easy all you need is scary music and something bad happening with say the mise en scene.

The acting in my trailer was to a good standard. At times it was difficult because they couldn't do what i had in my head so i had to improvise. My blog had been a good check point for me. Keeping up with it has enabled me to see what point I'm up to and what Ive done at a previous stage to correct a problem eg. the sound track having to find rights of the sound. Even though i got really stressed about it, it came down to one day talking to a teacher and her saying the college has rites over copyright as long as if is not for a gain. As you may imagine this made me happy. My inspiration for this type of film were films such as crossover which is an American film, not a major blockbuster but something that really leaves its print in my head and the film freestyle which is a low budget British film that really gives you the feel of the gritty streets of London.

In conclusion i am very happy with what i have created, I'm happy with the overall trailer and the feedback i have received. The target audience was a success as well as everything else. My planning and determination was the key to this success.
