Feedback and Revisions

After receiving the feedback from our classmates, my group and I got some positive comments about our film. Some of the responses our classmates complimented us with was that our plot was well developed and easy to comprehend, we had a good variety of camera shots, we had good dialogue, and our classmates liked the location we filmed at. Our classmates also gave us negative feedback about The Neighbor. One of our constructive criticisms said that we need to revise Patty's costume to make her more creepy looking. To make Patty's costume creepier, our plan was to dress her in all black and place black make up underneath her eyes. Another one of our constructive criticisms said that we had to edit the clips better. We will fix this by cutting out the awkward beginning of the clips in our film when we are about to say our lines. Also, we had a constructive criticism about the beginning of our film when we were playing Payphone by Maroon 5. We had it playing in one scene and it awkwardly cut out in the jump cut when it was still supposed to be playing. To fix this, we will show Ally stopping the source music on her laptop before the jump cut and we will have to update our script to comply with this. The last constructive criticism we had was the soft sounding dialogue in the scene where Ally and Ashley woke up after Sarah went missing. To fix the sound of the dialogue, we will re-shoot this scene and film closer to the two girls so the microphone attached to the camera is closer and the sound of Ally and Ashley talking is louder in our final film.

Film Project Genre Research Would You Rather

Image
The movie Would You Rather is a thriller and horror film. The first two minutes of the film shows a young woman coming back to her hometown because her brother got into an accident. While she is at home, she is taking care of her brother and applying for a job at a restaurant. The shots established throughout the beginning of the film are a two shot showing the young woman applying for a job with the restaurant manager, a long shot showing the whole restaurant with the woman in the middle of it, and a mid-shot showing the young woman's upper body. There are fade outs in the transitioning of scenes and the music is very intense and creepy making the viewer feel a sense of fear. The opening credits in the beginning of the film are staggered between the scenes of the woman in the restaurant, displaying the production companies they worked with, like IFC Films. The film Would You Rather' s budget and profit is unknown and the film has been nominated for the Fright Meter Award.

Project Selection-Film

The other AICE Media Studies project, the film project, is a group assignment where your team produces a maximum two minute original film. During the first quarter of AICE Media Studies, we learned about journalism and film production. We watched a few different styles of film production, ranging from All the President's Men to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. All the President's Men is an example of more basic filmmaking.  Ferris Bueller's Day Off   was a new type of film in the mid 1980's since Matthew Broderick, the actor of Ferris Bueller, was talking to the audience which was a new concept at the time. I possess the skill of being very creative and I enjoy taking risks. I am also very passionate when it comes to creative writing and it is more entertaining to write than non-fiction. One struggle I might have with the film project is that I am not a very good at actor and I am camera-shy.
