Finished The Short Film

It took me all afternoon Friday but I finished my short film, and I think it turned out pretty well. All the things that my teacher told me to work on (eg the soundtrack jumping) I think I sorted out well.

 
<-- (Jonghyun shows how happy I am to get it finished)

Annotating Magazines

Above is a picture of the white board on college, on there is a guide from our teacher with how to create the
 perfect magazine review.
 

 

We then looked at a previously evaluated magazine review from a previous student for the film 'I am legend'

When then got a chance to review our own magazine reviews, but making notes on the outside as to what we think is important.

Watching My Project - From Home

I decided to show my brother my media project I've been working on, I asked him what he thought..

"It was really good, I might be biased because I was in it but that was some pretty damn good acting if I do say so myself."

When asked if the narrative was clear he said..

"I think it is pretty clear, media is always open for interpretation. People take what they want from this kind of film, everyone isn't going to think the same but yeah I got it."

My nan then watched my short film, I asked her thoughts to which she said..

"Wow, yes I was really impressed how you made the split screen. How did you do that by the way? Haha. No but it really was impressive."

When asking about if she got the narrative she said..

"Yeah, I got him working in London and the two sides of it. I did understand it."

My Mum then watched my short film, when asked her thoughts she said..

"I really enjoyed watching it, having the spilt screen made it that much more entertaining with more to look at on screen."

I asked if she could also follow the narrative..

"I was a bit confused, I can understand where you were coming from with the plot and found it to be very interesting. I think I near enough got what you were meant to portray."

Our family cat decided he wanted to be involved, when asked what he thought he had nothing to say. He was nothing but unresponsive.

".........." - said the unhelpful cat

Working From Home

The school allowed me to take the mac home for the weekend as I didn't have one of my own to work of my project, I had a busy weekend but I made sure to make time for editing as it was important to me.
