commentry

Ricky

This is about the commentry we have just done for our film's voiceover.
We had seven question that had to be mentoned in our voice over (evaluation).

First time round we mangage to include some of the question but it was not as strong as our film so we went over our voice over and we added the bits we left out so we can make it as strong as our film.

Finally the wait is over watch our film :)

Audience Feedback

hi James here posting the results of the audience feedback, therer were many positive points on the feedback sheet! YAY! everyone enjoyed the film and we recieved praise on our editing and the continuity, they also mentioned that we established who our auidence were very well.

we also recieved some constructive criticisms, the feedback said that our story line could have been more detailed and was slighlty unrealistic. the other big question was the name of the film would it be studenthood or youthanasia? everyone liked youthanasia better so it was a unanimous decision

New filming plan

Quick Post

After criticism...

here is the plan for the new film 'Youthanasia';

At the start, i.e. the title, this is where the music kicks in then the sound of James will be heard over it, the conversation between James and Ricky will drown out music.

The music then is heard as Lauren is following James - (there could bee another shot of lauren finding out how James and Ricky are meeting?)

Then drug scene between James and Ricky are silent and music is heard instead.

In the confrontation scene of Lauren and Ricky, there are going to be more close ups instead of the long shot we had in the rough cut. Also, a close up of Lauren hitting Ricky and his reaction shot.  

There is a small mistake at the start of the fight scene with James and Ricky. We are going to film this again with Ricky talking and going to leave until James being seen after his shoulder.

Lauren's scenes (due to her acting skills) might have to be filmed again to put more emphasis on her. Another shot is taken of Lauren walking away and strong music is heard.

Cut to James' last scenes and is mostly music and the sound of sirens is heard at the end of the film.

The filming is scheduled to take place on Monday, with heavy criticism.

Editing and music on Tuesday

More changes to our film

Hi Ya'll!

Its us three again; giving you another update of our film - in a day we've made some drastic changes.

firstly, we've changed the name of project to... wait 4 it... YOUTHANASIA

It was decided that the original name 'Studenthood' was play on words to 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood' and therefore, wasn't very original.

So, with that we started to play on other words to do with teenagers and one particular 'youths' (not the best word, we know).

Then BADDA BING BADDA BOOM! Ricky came up with Youthanasia taken from Euthanasia, which for you not so clever ones; means ending a life in a painless manner and as James said, basically mercy killing.

And on that new little genius we made a start on the main title of our film.

Secondly, we had to export the film onto YouTube (yay!) so the world can see are oscar winning rough cut film.

We had a little bit of a problem with exporting the title - because it was LiveType with the rest of the film. The title was obviously important and getting the LiveType title onto the film meant we could make changes to the title without having to save it on LiveType and then import onto the film (because that's long).

Finally, we did it and went onto putting it on to YouTube.

Thirdly, we had to do a report card which James and Ricky will demonstrate on another blog..

Final Rough Cut & Filming

Hi, Lauren, Ricky and James here!

Haven't posted anything for a while but in that time we've finished our filming and rough cut.
In our filming, we had a little problems - but who hasn't. We filmed most of our film in one afternoon but after some 'camera problems' we had to do some parts again.

After finishing all that, we put it on Final Cut and the finishing time is 3 minutes and 33 seconds... not bad we must say!

Problems with our filming were mostly the fight scene were James had to hit Ricky as much as possible without looking so real.. But James did get some REAL punches and kicks in but Ricky took it like a man (the boys said so)
The next part was Lauren (she does admit to some seriously bad acting!) this was a little bit of a problem for us because we had to rehearse her lines over and over again just so she sounded like she did really care about Ricky who was lying by a vinegar smelling floor.

Some good parts were us working together as a team to create what we would called a brand new adulthood - it could be shown on the cinema and no one would know!! (or maybe it's just us being bigheaded).

And thus, we have created STUDENTHOOD

(we hope you like...)
