Wednesday 1st April

We presented our evaluation powerpoint today and although i am not the best at speaking infront of an audience and despite stumbling over a few words, i feel that i did a fairly good job. I have learnt a lot from both filming in the preliminary and filming for our actual piece specifically with how to use and set up a camera. Creating continuity was probably one of the most difficult tasks especially when trying to link to pieces of footage that were filmed at different times. We had to change the actor for the boy 3 times due to not being able to find a boy who was free when we were, we should have planned the cast better, perhaps even involving someone from outside the school in our piece as we would know that they would not have lessons during filming time. Other than that planning went well, the storyboard was kept to very closely for the beginning of the intro and deterred only slightly during the second half. Despite set backs such as not being able to find the same costume for the geek, these problems went unnoticed and i think the piece was created to the best of our ability. We are still developing as directors, camera operators and with the editing software so anything we are doing currently is a learning experience.

In today's lesson we managed to get feedback for the piece with its new ending, the feedback was a lot more positive. We also began our evaluation presentation. We found that we represented teenagers very stereotypically, this was a key convention of teen comedies which we have viewed in the past as they allow the audience to easily identify and relate to e.g. having the geek dressed in glasses and stereotypically geeky clothing made them easy to sympathize with as the "victim" of the narrative. However we may have cast teenagers in a slightly negative light as many people thought the teens were self obsessed and popularity was a big ambition of theirs. However this was from only looking at the 2 minute introduction, the moral at the end of the film would have changed their opinion as it promotes the message that friendship is more important than boys. I will post the powerpoint after we have presented it.
