Creative Industries Evaluation: Term 01 2011
My film walks the viewer through "a day in the life of Jocelyn Savage." It shows the adventures of a teenage girl and represents freedom and happiness. Spirituality is also incorporated through the soft music and facial expressions of the model.
A synopsis is a summary given in brief terms that covers the major points of your film. Synopses are usually more in-depth than a mere "summary", and aim to give a fair idea of the topic.
Evaluation of Film Progress
Introduction:
Has your film been edited to engage the audience initially and to establish the tone of the piece?
Yes. there are cross dissolves and slow motion to create a soft, romantic feel.
What are you going to do to engage the audience? Describe the sounds, lighting, shot types and effects that fit with the genre of your film and how you will incorporate these at the start of your film.
the lighting is soft, with a range of shot types to engage the audience. the music is slow and meditative which adds to the spiritual aspect of the film. the film starts with just the voice of the singer which instantly creates a peaceful atmosphere.
Have you carefully chosen audio to suit the pace of the project?
Describe the audio and the pace
the audio is slow and peaceful to reflect what happens in the film.
Describe the pace of your music and the type of shots (close-up, mid, high, etc) that you will be creating to fit with the music
the model makes body movements on the beat of the music and the movements are slow paced when the music is slower and quieter. slow motion is also used to enhance this.
Have you included credits at the start or end of your film?
What information should be included here?
no.
but information should include sound editor, filmer, actor/s etc
Emotional intention
Have you edited the footage to create heightened expression and audience responses? Describe how you are going to achieve this. i.e. cross dissolves, graphic matches, effects etc
the film creates a sense of peace and meditation within the viewer. also happiness and relaxation due to the cross dissolves and slow motion.
Editing techniques
Have you created links between shots and throughout the film to emotionally engage the viewer with your story ( i.e. is your film tied together through theme, colour, story, objects etc?)
it is tied together through the stages of the day (morning - afternoon)
