Test Screening Feedback

We mostly got B's and some C's for media language, conventions, creativity, attention to detail and technical proficiency.

Positive feedback on the cinematography:

Point of view shot which was done with a handheld camera and the over the shoulder shot.Use of closeup to identify with protagonist.Good tracking shot and the long shot shows

Positive feedback on the mise en scene:

Dark costumes and atmosphere

Positive feedback on the lighting:

Low key lighting fits genre. The light on the victims face enhanced the confusion on her face.

Positive feedback on the conventions and audience needs:

Identification with girl as you can tell shes a school girl because of the folder prop.Female victim showing vulnerability.Final girl.

Criticism feedback on cinematography:

Couldn't tell if it was meant to be shaky for a point of view shot or steadycam. More of a variety of angles.

Criticism feedback on mise en scene:

Too dark sometimes, protagonist needs to wear lighter clothes to stand out amongst villain.Include more props to create terror..

Criticism feedback on lighting:

need another light source..variety of angles where the light can come from.Blurry at times.

Criticism feedback on the conventions and audience needs:

More attention on villaint to convey hes a threat to the audience. significant prop or something to make character unique.Need more enigmatic items.

Target audience needs:

Extreme closeup on villains facial expression..more dramatic scenes..monatge sequence.

Post production suggestions:

Sound effects..mixing niche music with mass?..grey scale effects..add and remove grain accordingly.

Mini Update and Plan ...

Hey Guys ..

I have emailed Kashif about his costume and have asked to bring it with any other props we may need for tomorrow.I have also emailed Stephanie about the Fake blood , i hope she can come in tomorrow as shes ill so we might need a backup plan.I also called and texted HARPREET but it seems impossible to get in touch with her =( as i have told her to update us on the blog and to get back to me too.Mariam you already know about the little changes and the next steps of our plan. We will discuss all this tomorrow.

I have managed to make a list of most if not all the props we need for tomorrow and the next upcoming days , I will be checking who's got what and what we need to get for next time.
Thanks &&* Goodnight.

Now i got 1 more thing to say ,WORK HARD &&* HAVE FUN!

By:Yusra =)

This Week So Far..

We filmed 3 scenes: two in school and one outside..we still need do the rest of the scenes which are outside as we havent done any major scenes yet so it feels like slow progress.

Next week we need to be more organised with the lighting as that was a problem we encountered because it got too dark whilst we were filiming and used a phone light as a backup.

We need to print that picture of us girlies..so we can do the burning scene on monday hopefully so someone bring a lighter as well and dont forget the fake blood!

Also I was thinking the strangling scene needs altering i'll let you lot know..

Logo...

This logo isn't our official one as we are still at the experimenting stage we like the idea of having a dripping blood like text and our 2 is distinctive as it looks like someone has etched it out in blood to show a manic side to someone. We might keep the text as it is but change the background colour or the image as it look too white and spacious and we would like it to look chaotic mess.
Maybe we should make the background black?
