2.2

1. Time: 1.00pm

Date: 15th December

Location: Hazelwick School in one of the class rooms, that has a table and that can be hooked up to a laptop. It will also be a light room to signfy the light asspects of drink.

Audience: my audience will be about four people age 16-18 years old.

I have chosen this space because the audience I am trying to get at is kids aged 16-18 because these are the ages that most people drink for fun and drink too much because most people can’t control how much they drink.

2. I will have a classroom from Hazelwick.

Evaluation

My film idea stayed the same but the ideas of how to show it changed while I was filming to what it was meant to be. I decided not to keep a few of my ideas because it wouldn’t of fitted with the rest of my film. I decided to make a voice over of Lewis and mark talking about what they are like and feel when they are drunk, instead of having it with the clip and cutting between both the interview and the film because it didnt really fit in. That was the same with the other part of the film with the P.O.V of someone walking and then lying on a bench, it didnt have any meaning to it but seemed like a good idea at the time but once I filmed everything it just didnt fit with the film.
I thought the editing went well and did as much as I could with the film but I feel that if the film was longer there were so many possibilities I could of done to make it better.
The viewing went alright and people seemed to enjoy it and some of them understood the concept of my film while others found it harder to pick out. I only showed it to a few people because if more people watched it they might not of concentrated which meant that they wouldn’t understand it and because of where I filmed it I could only show it once.
Over all I thought all of it went really well but looking back there are a few things I would do differently like try and make the meaning my film easier to understand for everyone. If I had to re-do it I would make the P.O.V a moving one so that both the person walking past and the camera walk past each other, this would mean I would of been able to make the image blurry and out of focus so the audience could tell it was about what and how the person saw people and objects while drunk. Also a way to end the film would of been like my first idea and have the P.O.V walking shot but with a can of beer or any other type of drink in the hand and then lying on a bench with it slowly fading to black to show that the person is just going to sleep anywhere.
I do think that for my first film it was good but I know it could of been better and next time I will make sure that I have all my ideas down and then sort out what i can use for my film and what would fit.

2.3 diary

Production
I started filming on the 25th November and I just needed one take on both clips I filmed in the location of the memorial gardens. It wasn’t a hard piece to film and it should of been quick which it was.
The time I filmed was on the 28th November because I had to change the actors I was going to use because they hadn’t finished their film so I chose two people that had finished their films and who just had a bit of editing to do. The piece that I filmed in the back of the radio studio was only done in one take which was good because I thought it might take a few takes in case they got stuck with what to say.
I decided not to film the other piece of my film with a P.O.V and lying down on a bench because I felt I didn’t really need it in the film the bits that I got I felt good with. I also didn’t really stick with my storyboard because I was going to have clips of the interview joint in with the film but it didn’t fit in.

Post-Production
For the editing I took the audio out of the clips from the interview and stuck it over the my whole film so the clips didn’t mess with my film. It also took me awhile to figure out how long each clip would be, because I wanted some parts slow nd others fast. I also chose transitions that would make sense in the film so it was fade out to try and seem like the person was blinking.
