Evaluation

Reality Check Evaluation Year 12 Short Film For our 3 minute short movie, we decided to take inspiration from the horror genre and have a variety of shots showcasing the protagonist being followed by a hooded figure. Using eerie non-diegetic sound and a cool blue filter in the editing stage to add an isolated feeling to the film, I believe we have succeeded in creating a horror short film with all the elements necessary. Personally, I think that we used a variety of camera angles and met exactly what was required. The music was a powerful part of the creation as it adds the haunting atmosphere that was not entirely captured during the filming stages. However, the sounds and audio that we collected (From the movie ’10 Cloverfield Lane’) were a perfect fit to what we had filmed and helped the audience to realise it was a horror creation.  On the other hand, certain shots could have been cut even shorter as the final film ended up at around 3 and a half minutes long.

Evaluative Analysis

Evaluative Analysis Ethan Garvie My original intent for my project is to create a post apocalyptic thriller following the point of view of a young survivor, displaying his own personal thoughts in the wasteland. This will be achieved through a film rather than a screenplay as I believe I am able to work far better through moving image rather than writing a script and a storyboard. I will also be focusing on incorporating 'A narrative which establishes and develops a single character' as my brief. I want to improve upon sequences taken as inspiration from previous short films by using several different lenses (such as my wide lens and 50 mm for my NIKON D3200) and a variety of perspectives such as high shots, low shots, and continuous tracking shots to tell an interesting and mysterious narrative. I will accomplish this by relying on visual storytelling through relevant mise-en-scene such as necessary props and performance of my actors. The story shall focus on a teen...
