Evaluation

I have noticed some dialogue on the voiceover that wasn't noticable during the editing or the final production. I did take the sound down in some parts when white noise was too conspicious, but other than that, the voiceover seemed fine. I will have to consider whether to rectify this, as it has only shown up on some computers. I will include it in my evaluation however, as I can include it in improvements to the film.

Film Finished

On Wednesday I finished my film completely. Though there are some imperfections and small flaws, I am very happy with it. It adheres to the brief and was said to have a 'good narrative'. I have compressed it for the blog, though I have found the film to be slightly distorted, as the voiceover has now become out of sync. I am not sure why this has happened but I will add the film anyway. I will begin work on my evaluation, and have already outlined the strengths and weaknesses of my film.

Overall, I am happy with the film as it conveys the intended message and meets the brief's requirements.

Film

On Friday, I practically finished my film. I was able to amalgamate them into one window and add the voiceover according to the clips. It flows well and I added credits as well. I am very happy with the film and only need to review it once more to finalise it before I think I'll be done. I will try to add the film to the blog and maybe some stills too.

Today I added the voiceover on my film, so it's almost finished. I only need to check it over, get rid of unused clips and put them into one window. The film looks good now as the voiceover means it makes more sense. I've added transitions, like fading out and overlapping to symbolise the passing of time, and the narrative adds to the idea that the film is conveying an important message. The majority of the film is told in retrospect, and voiceover means that the recollection of events is more believable. Overall, I am very happy with the film, it is around 5 minutes long, with a variety of shots included in it to give the viewer a better view of events, and I only need to sort out a few minor things before it's completely finished and I can start evaluating it.

Film

I have nearly finished the film apart from a few transitions and the voiceover which I will add in the next few days. The film is in two documents because I had a problem uploading the footage onto the computer but I hope to add the rest of the footage onto the main document soon. I also need to add transitions as the film is told in retrospect by the woman, and effects like fading out and overlapping will make the memory aspect of the film more effective. Credits need to be added as well, but the main concern is the voiceover as it provides the information for the viewer, adds to the retrospective viewpoint, and is what the film relies on for the message to be conveyed.

Film

I am now in the process of editing my film and have made good progress with it. Unfortunately part of it has been letter-boxed but I have continued and plan to find a way of rectifying the situation later. I am now editing the later part of the film and plan to add in credits, and maybe darken a few of the images. The scenes run well with each other, and I have been able to film a lot of angles, so I can show different points of view.
My film review is finished as well, and so is my poster, so I have only to finish my film and the editing, which I am on course with.

Film Review

This is a final print screen of what my film review will look like. I can't upload files, and the printer is only black and white, but it gives a clear view of the layout and structure I have used for my review.
I have added a picture, the same as my poster, to give the review some continuity and a sense of recognition as the film is only a short one. I did contemplate giving my characters names, so I could include them in the plot section of the review, but decided against it, as their names are not important within the film, and many other short films I watched took the same approach, with the credits saying simply woman and man. Mine will most probably say woman and vagrant, as the word tramp seemed too extreme and ambiguous.

My actual review contains colour, as before it looked quite boring only in black, so I did the underline and star ratings in purple. The picture itself will include some colour, and makes the review more eye-catching and easy to read. Overall, I would say my review is complete and I am happy with the result.
