Strengths 

• lots of research done into other shot styles and genre conventions
• good extensive research such as watching films to gain understanding. 

Weaknesses 

• I also need use other programs such as prezi to improve the style of my blog
• Not enough photography has been presented in my blog 

Opportunities

• I feel like evaluating films has been an enjoyable opportunity from this opportunity I can further improve my blogs making them much better as I will have a better understanding after evaluating.

Reevaluating Sound Design and Music

Reevaluating Sound Design and Music

Sound Design

For our sound design we have decided that we are going to use many different sounds and sound effects. 

Sound effects that are going to be used
High pitched sounds
Distorted Voices
Distorted Noises such as banging
Music what sounds chopped and screwed

Music 

I believe for the vibe that we are going for it would be good for the music to be normal at first but soon as the trip starts we can turn the music into a chopped and screwed it will add an elaborate effect to the hallucinations I have pick a few songs what could be used such as 

Playboi Carti - Broke Boi (Normal)

Reevaluating and assessing new ideas

Reevaluating and assessing new ideas

Genre; Drama.

We have decided that our film is called 'Mind' (subject to change)

Our movie will be produced by 'Film 38' and will distributed by 'Sony Pictures' 

I would like the film to be based on subjectivity , subjectivity is when the camera enters the mind of the character and shows want they are experiencing in their mind. I hope to create a halucination of character robbing somebody, to further this I believe we could have to characters stuck within the same hallucination at once. This idea can work well as it improves on the current idea and gives more ideas of shots we can use and produce to improve the work further.

Influences - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (camera shots and techniques to improve a hallucination when being filmed) .
What knowledge I gained from the influence -

Audio - Speech can be said in past and present tense to distorting the viewers sense of time. Distorted background music seemed as if it was playing in the head of the character. Noises getting louder or less distant.

Camera angles - close up frames (when going in and out of the hallucinations)
Wide shots (to show change in perception )
Titlted angles (as they give a sense of unease to the viewer)
Shot choice will reinforce the characters emotional state

Type of lens - Wide lens (the viewer can see more of a perspective) if the lens becomes really wide in can really distort the viewers ideas and perception causing a fish eye effect show the state of the character.

Evaluating Rough Cut

The rough cut produced shows the selected shots for the production the rough cut also revealed that we need a some more shots however on selected scenes we have many shots to be used. The rough cut showed positives and negatives such as -

Postives -
Wide range of shots on certain scenes
Stablized footage (not shaky)

Negatives -
Not enough shots in certain scenes
The story doesn't seem as good as we projected it to be
Some shots don't look right

We can improve the final product by doing more filming and maybe changing the story this can be done with in 2 days a lot of hard work has to be done to achieve this but I believe it's possible if we put it the amount of work what is needed to improve the work.

Evidence Of Filming- Yusuf Caunhye

Production Day- Filming - Yusuf Caunhye

Filming went relatively well and we were able to shoot enough shots for half of the film however there were certain problems. The first was that the actors looked at the camera which gave an unreal amateuristic feel to the film. This problem was fixed by reshooting those shots. Secondly we had the problem of members of the public intruding upon the shot we were trying to film. This was fixed by either moving to less crowded place or waiting until there were less people.
In my opinion many things went well as we didn't run into any significant problems.
