My Evaluation

Behind Scenes

There are lots real media that influence my piece are film like the film “Wanted”, because he is just a normal person, who gets taken in to the different world. I wanted to get across that anyone could be anyone in my film. Don’t trust anyone. People do things for money, things that they are not proud of doing.

The aspect I tried to avoid was making my film to strong, make it 12/15, I dint try to add to much violets and gore. I have not added any bad language usage during the whole film. If I were part of the BBFC I would give the film a 12 certificate during the first part, but if I were going to make a full-length film, I would have to make my film a 15 because there would be more violence.

I have cut into the film to narrow it down to about 3 minutes but, if the film was longer I think the audience would find it lags in pace, so I have cut out some simple steps and speeded up some possesses. This helps the film flow and make scene, and have no unneeded footage included.

The sound is not perfect, I used a HD SLR camera to film my project. There is sound I have had to add and copy of different clips but if I had money and extra time inside the museum I would of make the sound perfect and put up wind barriers.

My piece opens with a collage of pictures of the protagonist and his life. This shows who he is. Make you feel comfortable with the protagonist; makes you feel like you know him. The film closes by the protagonist shooting his target with a sniper. This ends closes the film because, the target is dead and he has completed his assignment.

My film has lots of representational issues. The representations issues of Gender are, that women get the job were she does gets the package, she doesn’t have any power she is just sent to get he package. She doesn’t have any significant, she is just their do this simple job. If I was going to make this a full feature length film, I would of made the woman have more power and be in charge of this whole situation. Just like the main character in the film “Wanted”. If u read my storyboards, there is a woman at the end who is running the operation.

The representations issues of Age are that, young people are the people who are going to be in power, we are going to be the future and we are the next generation.

The representations issues of ethnicity is that, is that half cast Asian person, is the man who does the shooting, the assassin not ninja, like a stereo type, Asian assassin. He is a normal person, could be anyone. If the person were Black, this would follow the stereotype, of a black man killing someone. I have added an Asian male actor, as normal, casual as possible, anyone could relate to him even if they’re not Asian or any social ethnicity, the assassin could be anyone, Even You! 

I have chosen he Mese-en-scene because, it loco, people from Bristol will recognize Park Street in the center of Bristol. I have chosen to film the start of the film in my own house, in my own bed, this is I feel comfortable. I have put up pictures that I would like only my friends to see, not people would work with, close friends, this invites the viewer into my life. This makes the view feel like they know me. I have film in a iconic place in Bristol, this is the Bristol museum, this will help with publicity for the museum and help with tourists coming to Bristol.

I have added some Foley affects to my film, I have made the pick lock sound my self, I had a pick lock kit, which is one of my hobbies, so I re recorded this, to get the proper sound affect of picking a lock, when I filmed in the museum picking the lock, their was some static and back glowed noise. The pick locking was an iconic scene. The Skype call was pre recorded, this is because I did this with a proper microphone and I used a recording studio. I did not use a direct Skype to Skype call. I screen recorded the Skype call, and added the audio over the call.

The camera at the beginning of the film, is hand held, this is more like someone point of view, this like someone looking at his pictures. I wanted to make the audience feel like they were in the room, looking at the pictures them self.

The rest of the film is more tripod-based, but my camera bottom is broken, so I had to relay on the human had, keeping steady and possible.

The way I selected the actors is that I thought I would be the main person, the protagonist, I chosen my self because I have a collage of lodes of different pictures on my wall. I am also the most reliable person to sort out everything, if the protagonist was busy I could not do anything, but having myself as the protagonist I would always be on set. I could direct the camera people and direct my self, I could get the perfect shot and perfect action I wanted the protagonist to perform. The reason why I choses the other actors, is because, Jessica Puckett is my Girl friend and we was going to go down town together and I asked her to help me out. The other actor Liam is my best friend who did acting at GCSE so he was perfect person to use. He filmed the movie for me. He did photography as well. I did not want to have a massive crew to film the film because I promised them I would buy them lunch.
