Feedback on my fmp


21/02/18

 Today I presented my FMP, let me just say that there are a lot of things that I can improve on. For my film one f the things that I wanted to incorporate a 70's sort of vibe because that is very on trend with teens at this point in time. Also, it resembles and pays a classic image to Instagram as the filters are very aesthetic and washed out. I would also like to put together a full production plan by the end of next week. I will film the talking heads first as the set is located in a studio setting. It will be a lot easier to get voice overs before I shoot the film itself so that if I edit the script, I can alter the film. For the beginning of my film, I will write a short paragraph explaining what the film is based on and how I interviewed parents on the subject. 

 Improvements: 

 Jo mentioned that when I will be conducting my viewing and feedback that I would have to include lecturers in that as well as just students. I will make a quick layout of a survey on Google docs. Jo also mentioned that I would have to ask people my own age on the subject and what stereotypes that they face and the one that came out the most will be included in the film.

 This is the link to my questionnaire:

 Also, in the pitch meeting I had to find and pick out who was going to be my cast and crew. The list is shown bellow. 
  • Assistant Director - Lily James 
  • Stylist - Nina Sibunruang 
  • Camera operator - Jessica Way 
  • Protagonist - Kitty Scurr
  • Talking Heads - 
  • Alex Oliviere-Davis
  • Joe Lintern
  • Steve Huggins 

Positive Feedback:
My lecturer really liked the double meaning behind the title "Youth are Revolting". They also liked the idea in general and how I had a solid plan of the film before I even started to shoot it. I created a simple story board with screenshots from the short films on youtube that I talked about in my inspirations. Mapping out each scene simply so that I can identify scene changes and camera angles.

evaluation

Overall  I was very proud of my lookbook, I feel like my skills on photoshop and InDesign have improved a lot. In terms of improvement, I could've taken a photo that incorporated all aspects of the magazine and focused more on how it would have matched the colour scheme. If I were to do this project again I would have probably painted the front cover with either acrylic or oils to draw attention, I would have wanted to show how it was unique just by looking at the cover.  The overall time it took to complete each look book page was approximately 2-4 hours due to the amount of correcting and editing I had to do. If I had to re-construct my lookbook I would have made my design less complicated. Also, I would have used more models to add more diversity to the magazine. The Text on pace two could have been slightly darker as you cannot read most of it due to the colour of the background. As far as improvement is concerned, The portrait pictures could be of better quality and c...

Many A Moon: foley, Cinematography etc.

Foley: I didn't get to record Foley for my short film as there were no harsh sounds that needed emphasising as I had a on-cam mic attached. If I had I would have emphasised the sounds of the chair and the felt tip against white board. Cinematography: I picked a space In the collage that had filtered sun light seeping through into the room which in the end created a more eery atmosphere. I ended up tinting the film a very dark blue colour. List of sounds: These are the list of sounds that I wanted to include in my film footsteps coming up to the doctors office - Getting someone to walk across wooden floorboards leaves rustling in the forest - rustle the branches wind blowing - Go record this near a river  door opening and closing - Hold the mic really close to the door hinges and open the door  pen on whiteboard - Hold the mic really close to the felt tip dragging across the board.

annotated scripts

Image
Down bellow is my annotated script. I had to make a fair few adjustments due to location changes and difficulties. I could not shoot the final scene as my location and cast were not avalible. Also I could not get hold on the correct costumes that were necessary. However my cast members did improvise the scene were the doctor is explaining the symptoms to Cedric to make it into the time bracket.
