Preliminary Sequence - Feed The Fish

Feed The Fish Evaluation

What worked well:

I think what made our video entertaining to watch was based on a combination of music, editing and the plot. The music made what was not shown to be dramatic more exiting to view than the actions on their own. For example when I was walking up the stairs in the building if there was no sound that would appear very mundane, however the music is what builds up the tension. Another thing that worked well is the continuity editing that is shown throughout the video.



Another way in which I think our video worked well was by the cuts between shots, it made the video flow well. A final point on what was good about our work was the flashback, the reason why I liked that particular part was because even though it is not that clear what exactly is happening as the camera is moving to create a fast pace effect, it creates enigma. That specific part is also effective in the sense it was intentionally supposed to make the viewer want to know what 'have you fed the fish' really means.

 

To improve:

During the video there were a few problems with the lighting  as some of the clips were too dark. This meant it was not as clear as we wanted it to be for the viewer to see. For example, some of the scenes were supposed to be brighter than they were, in the shot that showed person A and person B, persons A's face was dark because the light was behind her. This would not of occurred if we filmed from different parts of the room, or somewhere different all together. To improve we could have adjusted the lighting using premiere pro. In future we now know that lighting is important in creating the right effect.

 

Another problem was the music, from feedback we learned that music did not match well with the video. The sound that was chosen was too dramatic in comparison to what was actually happening. This would have worked if it was humorous, however as our video was not comic, the sound did not match the action. In future we now know that the sound needs to match what is being shown on screen because if it does not blend in and the music is overly different from what is being shown, it can be misleading and make the video appear to not make sense.  

The Hangover (sweeded)

I like this sweede because it was funny and had lots of good shots in it. They had slow motion and fast motion shots which suited the parts of the film they tried to imitate. The sounds were funny and the length of it was good. It wasn't too long like some of the other sweedes made for the hangover.

Back to the Future (sweded)

The reason why I liked this swede is because:

• It was a good length
• It was funny and left on a cliff hanger
• They only used the main parts of the film which made it interesting
• The costumes were goof because they were relatable to the actual film but they didn't try to replicate the exact same outfits
• The acting was obviously bad on purpose to show how it's a parody and how its not supposed to be taken seriously

Production, distribution & exhibition

Production

Production refers to the tasks that need to be finished during the filming or shooting. 

This includes things such as setting up scenes, capturing footage and using set designs as well as lots of other things. 

Production is the second step of making a film. It follows the pre-production stage and is linked to the post-production stage. 

Production is also the process of creating media texts as well as the people who are engaged in this process.

Distribution

Film distribution is the process of making a movie available for the viewing of an audience. 

This is usually done by a marketing strategy for the film. For example making the advertising for the film suited for a specific audience. 

Film distribution includes things such as a film’s release date or a trailer for a film. 

Exhibition

Exhibition is when a film is shown for example in cinemas or on DVD. 

Audiences can watch films in other ways such as on TV, through downloads and streaming films.
