Horror Film Animatic Feedback

When we presented are horror film animatic to the class the feedback that we receive was that we should make are opening a lot shorter as it was too long and we do have a time limit, also that we should have more different types of shots and maybe a bit more sounds within the story.

I think personally that we needed to improve our animatic a lot becasue we couldn't of had some of the shots from different angles instead of the same one, also i think the sounds were good at the right time but the use of i a bit more would og been good anfd i think a bit more interesting for people to watch. I also think the story could of be a bit more clear for people to understand and more shots could of been add to show that it is actually a horro film not just a school drama.

Also although we added information on the back about it i think a few more lines should of been filled in so the story is fully clear to understand.

I also think that because it was too long we have now taken it on board and have cut down on how long it is, also we did add more interesting shots and when filming we will be filming from different angles instead of just the same one, to make the audience intereseted and drawn in. we have add more sounds to are film so that it is not just boring talking throught out. 

Breakdown Sheets

This is my breakdown sheet for my first week of filming.

Distributor

1. What is a film distributor do?

A film distributor is either a company or an individual responsible for releasing films to the public either theatrically or for home viewing. A distributor may do this directly or through theatrical exhibitors and other sub-distributors.

2. Name three major film distributors and give examples of films they have distributed

First distributor is 20th Century Fox 
They have distributed recently "Crazy Heart" and "500 Days of Summer"
Second distributor is Artificial Eye
They have recently distributed "Certified Copy" and "Police Adjective"
Third distributor is Arts Alliance Media
They have recently distributed "Oil City Confidential" and "Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage"

3. Suggest a film distributor for your film and explain why they would distribute your film

Warner’s Bros I would use to be our film distributor as they our the distributor of the film "Orphan" and this film is a bit like our film and it was quite a popular film in the UK.

JellyBaby Shot

This shot is a wide shot. in this shot this girl has finished getting something out of her locker when this group of girls walk up to her and start bullying her. The credit in this shot is first actors name and what film they are starring in. 

In this shot it is a close up of the teacher. in this shot the teacher has seen them and comes along to tell them they have a detention for not being in lessons. The film credits is who the music is by.

This shot is over the shoulder shot. In the shot the girls attend detention and before the teacher comes along they are throwing paper at her. The credits in this shot is who the film is directed by.

In this shot it is a long shot. In the shot the teacher has come to take the detention and she is telling them that she dosen't tolerate bullying under any cirumstances, and then after dismisses them. The credit for this shot is the names of the other actors.

Title credits

When analysing the title credit for vertigo, i realise it is very different on how it is nowadays. Because it straight away it  said the the film company then after it went to the main actor and what they are starring in. This is different to the other one seven because it took a while to bring up the title. Also it said all the actors in one go, in the importance of how they are in the film.

When analysing the title credit for se7en again like the last one it started with  the film company and went on to show the director of the film so i think that they show the more important people who put the most effort into the film and star in the film at the beginning of the credits. Also they then repeat the directors name as he has basically made the film.

Premlim Task- Feedback

I learnt from the Premlim task that you have to make sure the camera is always focus on what is suppose to be happening, also the movement of the camera is very important because you have to make sure that the character is always the focus. 

Also I have learnt that in the editing you have to be careful that you have to cut the right things out and not the things that you want to keep, also you have to make sure that you add the right sound effects in the right place and add titles, by making them nice and effective to do with the storyline. 

I also learnt that the different shots are important because otherwise it will just be boring having the same shot.
