Final Film Evaluation

The experience of filming, directing and writing the final film was a positive experience, however there were also negative barriers which needed to be overcome.

As the film is a british crime based film we attempted to portray this as much as possible as we introduced sections of london streets towards the beginning.  I found when filming other camera angles were better than others, such as the over shoulder as opposed to the head shot.  Therefore different angles needed to be shot in order maintain the audiences attention as well as the light being correct for the scene.  Before shooting we found the first thing that was needed to be done was the writing of the film.  This was done as we sketched a rough storyboard of the scenes and what the story was about.  We also found that we both had the same ideas, this made working easier as we wanted the same thing.

Composing the music was an important factor, we did this by estimating from our scenes the genre of music as well as how heavy or soft.  This worked well, however when reviewing the final piece, parts of the music did not fit, therefore these parts were worked upon and changed.

Having to direct the film was a pleasurable experience as we found this interesting having to decide the location, camera angles etc.  However when directing we found that certain decisions had to be made quickly.  For example, if a camera angle did not work because of the light or we did not want certain things to be on show for the viewer we would have to decide what possible camera angle could work.  For this reason we experimented with camera angles and overcame all possible obstacles.
