Character Analysis

This image

The image on the right shows Maurice Enwright playing himself in 'Void.' We thought this was a perfect screen shot of him, as it portrays his real problem, he is a manic depressant.

The shadow of the stair banister behind his him really brings Maurice to the foreground.

This image on the left shows a screen shot from 'La Haine.'

La Haine is a social realism film, I have decided to compare Maurice to the guy on the left hand side of the picture. He also looks quite annoyed or angry.

For the final screening we had to create a another questionnaire. This questionnaire will not include questions on what improvements, rather it will have questions on whether the film has improved and whether it is suitable to the genre.

These are the questions:

1. Did you enjoy this film? why?

2. Does this opening make you want to watch the remainder of the film?

3. What film certification would you give our film?

4. Do you think our film fits the genre of social realism? Why?

5. What type of cinema do you think our film would be shown in?

The feedback that we receive will affect our evaluation of the project as a whole. Rather than changing the film.

Production logo

This is the production logo I created. I used Photoshop, and I obtained a font from Dafont.com

I added the fade on the logo after the first screening. It initially looked bland, I also changed the font various times. I wanted the font be more suitable to the logo. I used the Gasmask font.

First Screening Feedback.

The overall consensus regarding the feedback of our 2 minute film opening was very good. The audience filled in a questionnaire sheet.

The questions are as follows.

1. Overall, does the opening 2 minutes of our film capture your attention?

Not very? A little bit? A lot?

2. Based on the opening of our film, are you intrigued to watch the rest of the film?

3. Do you think our style of camera work compliments the genre of social realism. Please Comment.

4. What did you like most about the film.

5. How could we improve our film.

Thanks very much,

Group 1.

Results,

Question 1. 60% of participants said, a lot, 20% said a little bit, and 20% said not very.

Question 2. every single person who took the survey was intrigued to carry on watching the film to see what happened to each of the characters. This is a big plus point as it shows that the opening worked. The opening of a film must be attractive to watchers.

Question 3. Nearly all of the participants agreed that the music we made on GarageBand worked well with each of the characters. Especially the dance scene staring Antonia Draper.

Question 4. The camerawork used when filming went down very well. All off the camerawork was freehand, this gave the effect of the instability of each of our characters. This use of camerawork complimented each actor.

Question 5. It seems as if 100% of participants in our survey enjoyed the dance scene. The music worked well, as well as the editing, we spent a lot of time editing this scene, and planning what we were going to film, and the camera work of this scene.

Question 6. This is the most important part of our questionnaire. As this questionnaire was taken during the first audience screening, we still had time to edit our film.

Many people had put down on the sheet that we needed to increase the volume of shouting, so we can make it clearer.

We have increased the volume of the shouting, this has made the shouting clearer.
