Evaluation Activity 3

Our Film is a Gangster Themed action film, which is aimed at mainl males over the age of 15. Working class males may be more interested because of the dialogue and overall action style. The opening shows a variety of shots from various angles.

We are a Independent film company- ID productions and we will try to keep all of production, distribution and marketing within the company as muxh as possible. Over the last decade especially they have become more popular in the postmodern era, so hopefully the new interest will hopefully sell the films.

A large part of the marketing and distributing be things such as social networking use sites such as facebook and myspace to increase awarness and build popularity and create a enigma!

Evaluation Activity 5



In this video it shows the parts of our film that I personally think are good and not so good by using anotations from the youtube site.

Evalution Activity 7

The 1st minute I think is a brilliant in the terms of the camera angles that are used as wed used point of view shot and the type of music; they both link together and bond very well. I made the music had as I do DJ sometimes so Ian agreed I would be more experienced in the work.
We wanted the film smooth, maverick, and sharp with the music, camera angles, and settings which I think we achieved very well, the understanding of the film and miser en scene we covered very well.


The best parts was the impact and drama of the film, on 1:42 to 1:52 was probably the best shot we done, it was quick of the mark and powerful in getting the ending right.


Some sketchy parts was the 1:00 to 2:00 some of the shots were to fast and didn’t as good as we could of done and the fighting was a bit poor but we came up with solutions of sound affects and editing which wasn’t too bad, it was a second flash really and the audience could have a better picture if we added another second on.

Overall I am Impressed =).
