Short Film First Draft and Feedback


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2Wy9D55FX8
Once we had completed filming and editing our first draft we then went on to seek advice from our media teacher has she has a lot of experience and gave us excellent constructive feedback. This resulted in us responding to then going and trying to improve what she said could improve the film.

  • Add more shots of Josh and Amy in their montage, such as in different locations.
  • Get rid of the panning shot at the beginning  of the film.
  • Make the scene where josh walks out of room more quickly, i.e show him get up straight away.
  • Add sound effect of TV on for when josh walks downstairs to see mother.
  • Cut the shot of Amy walking into the shot of josh sitting down so she's in the shot quicker
  • Add more shots off Joshs bedroom after he has destroyed it.
With reference to the first bullet point we were up against time so therefore were unfortunately unable to re film and make the montage of josh and Amy better. If this was achieved then we would off been able to show the audience a closer bond between the two characters.

For the second bullet point again time was against us but we tried our best to overcome this problem.

I play character josh and we made my character stand more promptly once this scene commences for the third bullet point.

For the fourth feedback point  we have included this point where josh walks down the stairs you can see his mum watching the news.

Now we have had the feedback from the teacher we have made the scene where amy walks in a lot less time consuming and much more direct.

The last point is that we should have in reflection done more close ups on certain areas after josh has destroyed it.
