actors

The reasons behind keeping the main actor, the dectective's, identity a secret was to create ambiguity as the viewers arent aware he is a teenager until later on.

Questions on viewers question sheets:

• what did you understand about the narrative ?
• Did the chosen genre fit the conventions ?
• How did the ending make you feel ?
• Any suggestions for improvements, if we were to shoot the whole thing again ?

overall 23/38 responses had some criticism. Here is a Gauge chart to show which criticism was mentioned the most.

Class Feedback

there was a problem with uploading the video so this post is late

we showed the class our final piece and the raised a few good points :

• Phoebe said that she liked the voiceover but was confused about the 2 titles. we explained that the first title was wen Yasmin originally went missing and the 2nd title was the case reopening again as the year has changed from 2015-2016. Morgan also said that if the movie was to be released in cinemas you would know what the movie is called before viewing it.
• Sophie enjoyed the music but pointed out how the phone ringtone should be changed because it merged too much with the music playing.
• Katie also liked the voiceover as not many groups had done it
• serine also mentioned changing the names as it got a bit confusing.

127 Hours

During class we watched 127 hours, which was fun. The movie itself was very intense especially during the amputation scene. Even though the movie was based in a small crack it still seemed to entice the class. I found that the sounds during the amputation scene were really good and extremely effective.

Mock Feedback

by looking over my mock results I noticed I realised aspects that could be changed or added to improve my work. In Section A my analysis wasn't equally spread, meaning that some frameworks were analysed better than others. In section B I didn't use enough keywords which can be easily sorted out by going back over them.
