Media Evaluation
Our original idea was to act out a scene of a meeting in which the two actors exchange information resulting in the assignment of killing the boss’s wife through assassination.
But that idea was kind of vague and didn’t carry the type of enigma that we wanted to implement in our project. For example in the end we changed it into a Hospital scene whereby the head doctor breaks the news to the patients father, but we didn’t make it bait that it was a hospital scene till near the end of the clip as this kept the audience guessing and puzzled to find out the storyline and who the characters are and what’s going to happen in the scene.
Our group was split up in a diverse way in which the people that took on roles were specialised for them which made the quality of the filming that much better and so the moral of the group was great and the chemistry of the group was good as everything fell in to place and helped acquire a successful project. Tom and Gabby took the role of filming the film as they had a clearer vision in their head of what they wanted to happen in the scene and how they would like to film it so it seemed as they had the required qualities to film the project. I and Adan took the acting roles in the film clip because we felt that we could keep in role and that we would be the best suited people to be filmed in the project. And if we ever worked together again I’d make sure I would take more of an important role in the making of the film as it would help to make the success of the group even greater and would maybe try and do a different role i.e.: camera man so that I would be able to diversify myself in the whole creation process of film making as this would make me more useful if not acting then filming I could help do.
The production paper work helped very much as it allowed getting a sophisticated idea much easier than expected. Our objective was to create a scene going by guidelines set by the teacher. So the group came together and along the guidelines of the paper work allowed us to gather an idea which suited us all in our specialties which made it easier for us all to grasp unto. The production work that needed more depth for our film opening is the storyboard because it never stated what camera angles or filming techniques were involved in the scene and didn’t state what exactly was going to happen in each scene so it was unclear as to what was going to happen next creating a little bit of confusion throughout.
The way in which our groups initial idea evolved is that we changed it from a assassination set up type of scene to a doctor giving bad news scene this was a drastic change from what we was going to do as it wasn’t so dramatic and entailed more enigma so it made it more of a thriller production rather than action also because of the room was well –lit it allowed the hospital scene to seem more realistic because hospitals normally have a well-lit environment and are more calm so there was more tension built up and created a greater aura of enigma throughout the audience as their minds are confused as to who each character is. Adan was the person who put forward the idea of the doctor scene. Yes this worked well as we were very good at cooperation and the team moral was good. Maybe the peoples roles in the group could be changed as this would allow other people to gain skills in different parts of media.
