Analysis of questionnaire

I believe our questionnaire provided a relatively good amount of information that we could look at and improve on in our next project. We only included 10 questions but this was because we wanted to make it a clear round number. In reality this does not matter and we should have added at least another two questions that asked specifically what we could have improved on or what we should have included less/more of.

Filming Setup: Camera Work

Camera work: 

By using a range of camera shots the film has kept interesting and unique in each scene. Most of the filming was done free hand to make the viewer feel as if they were in the scene themselves and add realism. One of the best shots in the short is just before the two victims see Jack, in the dream. We see the camera rise up and slightly pan to follow them.

Filming Setup: Sound

Sound:

As we did not have any external microphones when filming we relied on the in-built camera one. This resulted in a substantial amount of background noise and interference, like wind noise. 

To solve this we have done some voice overs to reinforce the loudness of speech. We have also added music in some parts where there is no sound to keep the scene entertaining. I believe that the music we have used is very appropriate as it fits to the rhythm and style of our piece. 

Filming Setup: Mise en Scene

Mise en Scene:

For our short piece we decided to use several props. Whilst at the second filming location, the hall, we decided to have the bullies smoke. By doing this we intentionally made them fit the 'yob' stereotype even more and raised the level of fear they emit. 

A second prop that we used was a toy baby. This was in place as part of an extra scene that we were never able to put into the final cut. The scene showed a girl that was out playing and got scared, dropping her doll in the process, the leaving it. 

Filming Setup: Costume

Costume:

When it came to costumes we felt that what we had in our own wardrobes was auspicious for portraying the character we were set. James and myself, the two weaker individuals, had general clothes that showed we were a normal pair of teenagers. On the contrary Jack and Tom wore outfits of a lesser educated and 'yobbish' kind. Together these showed the variation in our characters backgrounds.

Character Profile: James

James:

James is 17 and comes from a rich household. He is also well educated like his friend Dexter and is doing very well in school. James enjoys playing Xbox, doing puzzles, being with his friends and going out with his family. James is 6'0" and has a fear of failing his exams even though it will never happen. His weakness is being easily tempted.
