Feedback From My Animatic

The feedback me and partner received was good overall. Unfortunately when trying to present the video to the class we had a slight technical error because some of the photos which were uploaded had been saved on my portable hard drive and not on the computer network but it was still watchable. My class mates said our movie opening was good build up to the rest of the movie. They also gave us tips on how we can do our flashback for example: Doing it in black and white which makes it look like a past event more obviously and awe could also blur the edges of the frame but then we were saying that looks more like a dream so i think me my partner will do it in black and white. One criticism we had was we used to many mid-shots and close-ups so they said we need to more of a variety of camera shots. They were happy with our location as it fits very well with our story line.
To watch our animatic play the video above and enjoy.

My Movie Location

Me and my partner have chose this destination because
it fits in well with our story line because the group of
boys decide to walk down a dark alley/pathway and as
you can see from the photos its quite a dark place and
very secluded which should also make it easier to film without
passers by getting in the way.

3 Things I Would Like My Distributor To Spend Money On

One thing I would like my distributor to spend money on are trailers. This is because it will advertise the film and give the audience an insight into my film giving the audience something  to look forward to.

I would also want my distributor to spend money on media advertisement as it will raise awareness for my film because its the most effective visual way to reach the audience and sell the film.

The last thing I would like my distributor to spend money on is publicity. I think it's a good way to advertise the film to audience who don't watch TV or go online.

Feedback From My Movie Pitch

My partner and I presented a prezzi showing the various ideas about our horror movie and recieve feedback from our peers. Werecieved a lot of good feedback from our movie pitch which I was very happy about. One of the good things about my movie is that it isn't to complecated and its simplicity may be quite effective. A problem with the movie is it may be quite long and run over two minutes we have for our movie so we'll have to find a way to shorten the movie opening.

Things I would expect in a horror film

One the main things I would expect to see in a horror film is darkness which can make the audience scared as they can't see as much and usually thats when bad things happen like someone gets stabed or eaten.

 

The next thing I would expect from a horror film is creepy charactors, for instance little girls/boys can be scary as you would expect them to be innocent, people wearing masks which makes them scary because you can't see who they are and also freaks of nature who are scary becuase their abnormal.

 

In any horror film you can always expect there to some type of violence to scare the audience for example someone being stabed and someone being eaten by a zombie.

 

The shot types I would expect:

-Establishing shot

-Extreme close-ups

-Point of view Shot 

- High angle shot

-Over the shoulder

-Low angle shot

My First Time Using The Greeeeeeeen Screeeeeeeen :)

I hope you enjoy my video.
