Evaluation

Our final clip turned out different to how we had planned in our story board. We made a few changes such as taking out the male character. In the end we feel this was for the best and has made a positive impact to our film, as the girl is the main character. We have also positively used media language such as close ups on the makeup and mirrors to show the typical stereotype we wanted to achieve. we also achieved this by using the colour pink. Overall we are happy with the out come of our clip and feel it fits into the genre that we originally planned and set it to be. If we could have changed anything we would have choosen the ending to have been filmed at night to make it more dramatic. 

Final Clip

Changes

We have decided to make a few changes to the script of our film. We have taken out the boy character as it took up to much footage and it seemed more effective without.

Music

We have been searching on many sites to find music for our film. We have found one that we think it appropriate for the background and genre. We have picked a few these are shown below:

Risk assessment

This is our risk assessment sheet. This tells people how dangerous our film will be. As you can see we will have little dangerous or harmful stunts in our film as it will not fit into our choosen genre.

In this preliminary task and we choose to do a simple conversation between two people using the 180 degree rule.

We use close ups, medium shots, long shots in our clip to show detail and set location. From this task we have learnt not to use zoom in during a clip and keep it simple as it soon gets complicated and looks messy. Overall we think this was a good start in using the equipment. We decided to use invisible editing to make the clip more realistic rather than cutting inbetween each clip.  

Narrative structure

We are going to use a non-linear structure as we will be shooting between two different characters and locations these being the girls house and the boys house. The music will be digetic and will be parallel to the mood and genre so the characters can hear the music and will be singing along to the music.

Inspirational films

Scrubs, this video shows a guy getting ready for a date and trying on different outfits. We shall use this idea in our film but we shall use the girl and the boy. This will also bring out a comedic side of our film. 

Inspirational films

The films that we have got our inspiration from are shown below:

• It's a boy girl thing - This shows a stereotypical girl and boy bedroom,where we can see pink for girls and blue for boys. It is also shown through the styles of bedrooms as the boys is messy and dark and the girls is tidy and brightly coloured.  up to 2.55 minutes of the film. By watching this clip we are going to use the stereotypical styles of bedrooms in our film and also the characteristics of these typical characters.
