Feedback from pupils on our opening sequence

The feedback we got back was a big help to us, people said our editing was good which is a great relief as we thought it wasn't that good, it's good to get an insight on peoples opinions so we can make any needed changes to our sequence, a criticism we got is louder vocals which everyone seems to agree on, the setting we choose had a lot of background noise and it can be hard to the camera to pick out our vocals, we will take this issue on board and make sound vocals to add onto our opening sequence, our shots seemed to be good so we're pleased with that , the ending we thought was good and it's nice to hear that our peers enjoyed it.

Inspiration


We got inspiration from Noel Clarke, he wrote the screen play for Kidulthood he also wrote, directed and starred in the sequel to kidulthood, adulthood. The genre of our movie is crime/ drama which is the same as his filns. We analysed the clothes that the Noel Clarke wore, his attitude and the way he spoke in the films to give us an idea for our movie. Noel Clarke won a BAFTA Orange Rising Star Award in 2009. Adluthood made a grea sum of £3,347,811.

K-Double D Productions: My role - Camera man

I was assigned the role of camera man because  I was the most experienced out of the group due to previous experiences I have encountered. I have gained  more knowledge and skill with a camera since the beginning of this project. I have learnt how to use a tri pod properly and learnt many different shots and angles that I used in our film. I now feel much more comfortable with a camera.
