My Personal Contribution To The Film

This project was a joint attempt at making a film but we split the roles equally. We came up with the idea together although i helped develop the idea from more then just a robbery to two guys mucking around trying to look for this mysterious item. When it came to filming i directed everything and i told Charley where to stand and what shot would look best. We managed to film everything in one day in about 5 hours which took a lot longer then i thought it would, just showed me how much preparation and time it takes to just shoot one scene. We edited the film on Charley's laptop on the software Final Cut Pro, we had to cut down 25 minutes of film down to 2 minutes but this was the hardest part because we had to choose shots that got the message across to the audience that we wanted. I helped Charley choose what to cut and keep but she had to do all the technical stuff on editing because it was on her computer and she knew a lot more about editing then me. The last point was doing our powerpoint evaluation and i did half of the questions and Charley did the other half, this didn't take too long because i know how to use powerpoint well and use all the effects on it. Once we had both finished our set questions we put the slides together to make it one powerpoint and uploaded it onto youtube.

The things i would do differently next time would be plan and prepare the film better and have a few more run through's before we shot the films and just organise everything better because i felt it was a bit rushed. Im really pleased with our final product and i think if it would ever be made into a movie it would appeal to a lot of teenagers because they can relate to the characters.

Technology used

We used Youtube for many things, for instance we used it to analyse a few opening title sequences to get a feel for how professional film producers chose to open certain films. We also used it to find clips for the genre we chose which was British Gangster Films or Crime Dramas. Then we took conventions from these genre of films such as Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch etc and used their ideas to make up our own. We took the idea from the film Trainspotting and copied their idea of having the characters names on a freeze frame when the characters appeared.


this is a snapshot of the convention we copied from Trainspotting



We used this software called Final Cut Pro to edit our film on. This is where we edited out all the bits we did and didn't want and also added in freeze frames and music to our film to make it more entertaining for the audience.



Garage Band is what we created our music for our film on, we wanted to take music from another film and put it in ours but because of the whole copyright problem we had to make our own music, this was a challenge but we managed and our final product came out really well.



This site IMDB we used to watch trailers of films of the same genre and also watch clips from films, also we used this for finding out information about the films for example what certificate they were and also who directed them and who their distributor was.



Powerpoint we used to construct our evaluation and we spilt the questions we had to answer in half and went away and developed them into a powerpoint at the end we put them all together and added all the effects to make it more interesting



Blogger was where we planned all our work for the film and uploaded pictures of opening sequences to films and where we uploaded all our scripts, storyboards and pictures of the location we shot in.
