Videography Evaluation- Short Film

Videography Final Evaluation

1)      For this project we were asked to create our own short film based on the genre Film Noir, the film had to be a maximum of 2 minutes long and a minimum of 1 minuet long and had to have a maximum of 3 actors all together also and the film had to contain a secret of some sort, whether it would be a secret place, person or thing also none of the following were aloud:

2.      Swearing/ explicit language

3.      Violence

4.      Drugs

5.      Guns 

6.      Alcohol

2)      As primary and secondary research we were asked to go on https://www.surveymonkey.com, a website that you can use to create a survey online, your survey can be about whatever you want it to be, ours was about, for example one of the questions were "How long would you expect a short film to be" or "What is your name".

Raja Gosnell- he is the director of Scooby Doo, the children's TV program that inspired our group to create our film, also the film V for Vendetta (Directed by James McTeigue) inspired us to create our film because of the mask on the main character's face (this creates mystery as you do not know who is behind the mask), as part of our secondary research, we watched a film called "Ashes" by Sophie Black.

3)      What we did next was create a brainstorm for our film, all the different ideas we had were put together into it, once we discussed the ideas we had, we made a choice about what we wanted as a group, this brainstorm was quite helpful because then all of the group could see what the film would contain, what the genre was etc.

4)   For filming we used a Panasonic Camcorder, a tri-pod, a mask (for the character to wear), the types of shots we used
