The Exchange FEED BACK EVALUATION

We got very good feedback from the group, we were told that the establishing shot was fantastic and that the acting was spot on, and the script was solid and understandable for the audience, overall we were all pleased with the feedback we got, which was brilliant and gave us confidence for the up and ocming final project.

The exchange was about where 2 characters meet to exchange something using the general codes and conventions of a film noir but adapting it to our version making it a 'contemporary film noir'

Pre production work (What i did)

I did the call sheet and completed the time sheet and information of the shots and times used, also i completed the synpsis and main treatments of our project and George helped me complete these. We did all the pre procution work using each others idea's and picked the best ones and completed all our pre prod work quickly and before any other group did, George took charge and took responsibility for the folder we made and i feel we worked extremly hard and well with each other.

Music And copyright info.

The music used was made by a dnb artist who is not very recognised, and has little subscribers on youtube, i got in touch with him and got permission to use his music under the 'Fair use' laws which was very good news. Here is a link to his youtube, and i hope you enjoy his music, like i do. :)

Edited Photo's FP




The above one is the edited one and below is the unedited one, i used the same effects here to once again emphasis this was in the past and its a flash back, colour correction and blur were used to create this atmosphere. Also the lights and the colour correction used here blended together fantastically



Establishing Shot



I didn't feel this establishing shot needed editing as it was good enough to start with, and it really captures the big picture and shows the audience that it is the setting of the place, (of course you know that anyway).

Also due to compressing these pictures the quality looks really naf, but i can assure you it wasn't meant to look this blurry.

Above is the edited one and below is the orignal one. The reason i added the colour correction effect on these pictures were to create a more dreamy effect and emphasis the fact that it's a flashback, maybe i went overboard, but i felt it worked. I also added the blur affect to once again emphasis the fact that it's fadey and he can't remember it well, and to show it was some time ago this happened.

Unfortuntly i couldn't find an original un edit of the picture below, but i added colour corection very very slightly to make that sun look even more fantastic and creat a shadowy effect and mysterious atmosphere
