Evaluation

Final draft: Short film

This was my last draft for my documentary which lasted 5 minutes 46 seconds. I included more transitions, colour correcting (desaturation and saturation) to make the documentary appear more cinematic. I had a few difficulties when shooting more actors (rather than two which was in my second cut) however I overcame them through my adapted editing skills and professionalism when using the camera for reshoots and allowed the documentary to remain unbiased and diverse.

 

 

Final draft: Magazine film review

Below my key concern was making the article/paragraphs in a magazine review type style, after mastering this I knew it looked much more effective. I had also made the quote the person saying it even small which I thought was engaging and the end product was a good result for me.

Final draft: Film poster

Below is my final draft for the documentary film poster, I done a few finishing touches like the front of the ‘An eye opener’… and kept the credits more simple. I’m very happy with my outcome and what I’ve achieved in making this.

Second draft: Short film

Below is my second improved short film (documentary). This documentary is 5mins 21 seconds. When exporting Waseem had sadly become a bit blurry.

Third draft: Magazine film review

Below is my third attempt of a new and improved magazine film review. After analysing other magazine reviews I was more inspired to make it conventional (through layouts, colours etc.)

Third draft: Film poster

Below is my third draft for my film poster, I had incorporated my own image and made a few minor tweaks to make the poster stand out more:

Second draft: Magazine film review

Below is my second attempt of my magazine film review, I decided to changed the colour scheme as it appeared more of a horror/action type genre: I feel I need a lot of improving to the review to get it to the final product that I want it to so I’ll be asking peers in my class for guidance.

Second draft: Film poster

After analysing the first draft of my film poster I realised I wasn’t being creative nor conventional. After experimenting with the positioning of my text and image I decided to go with a layout which I was happy with. However I’ve taken my main image from Google so for now I will keep it to get a better vision of the final draft.

This image in the poster has inspired me to recreate my own, I’ve ordered the props in hope to create the same message that I want to portray for the next draft.

 

First draft screening questions

Below are the questions I will be asking my peers/friends and family for feedback to help me improve my documentary

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/B9LVRBF

From this feedback I had received I’m aware that I need to make the editing much more professional and proficient. 

My overall improvements: 

• Make all my cuts and transitions consistent – maybe do straight cuts and fade when introducing new scenes
• Continuity issues- Close up of the hands need to match the actions in the scene
• Waseem is a bit out of focus- Need to add a sharpen plug in 
• Colour correction needed

Suggestions to improve:

• Break the information up- add text facts, news headlines maybe even questions to break up the editing
