Evaluation Storyboard

We created our storyboard to express a clear vision of the film opening which we wanted to clearly portray with specific ideas of: camera angles, sound, mise en scene and editing. We stuck to most of the shots which we planned on using such as: when Aubrey was filmed walking down the street late at night drinking from the alcohol bottle and when Aubrey came into the house and proceeded to have an argument with her mother.
There were however, a few shots and scenes that we included that were not talked about on the storyboard such as: When Aubrey was running out the door and away from home and the last shot when she is breathing heavily and the screen goes black.
We did not film the scene that we originally planned on using at the start where Aubrey and Riley were supposed to be holding hands and dancing together at the concert as our desired location and setting was unachievable to film in. We also did not film the scene where Riley and Aubrey met up in the field just as the sun was coming up because when filming, we could not get the lighting quite right and also, the film opening would have been too long if we had included it.

Shooting Schedule

Filming went well. We ran into very little issues, only lighting issues and the camera battery dying - which was easily fixed. The filming process was very swift (overall, filming took 6 hours over the two evenings), mainly due to sufficient planning, such as scripting and having this shooting schedule.
Although, it could have gone better due to Katie being absent in the first filming day (25/11/16) due to a last minute inconvenience, therefore we had less help which prolonged the filming. Additionally, as it was our first time filming to a professional standard, it took us some time to figure out how to make the camera work as good as possible (lighting, settings, lens, zoom, panning, shots).

UNTAMED script

 SCRIPT

Aubrey is walking home from a party where the girl who she likes (Riley) just was. She seems absent minded due to being drunk still from the previous events but with a slight smile as she is reminiscing the enjoyable night she just experienced. Aubrey is seen stumbling and kicking puddles distractedly.

(Aubrey arrives home and drunkenly stumbles into the house)

Mum: Where have you been?

Aubrey: (drunkenly puts her hand over her head and sways whilst she speaks. Speaks slowly and stammers slightly. Says aggressively) I told you were I was. You know I had a party.

Mum: (speaks with an overall disappointed tone) I told you 11 at the latest. It’s 2am for goodness sake, what were you even doing?! (long silence, begins to speak slowly and sternly) You were with that Riley girl again, weren’t you?

Aubrey: who cares who I was with

Mum: I know whatever this is, is not just friends and I do not in the slightest approve of it. You are a child of God

Aubrey (Looks straight at mum, begins to answer but then gets cut off) it’s not what you think… and even if it was like that, I don’t see what’s wrong with it.

Mum: (tears in her eyes, straight face and stern voice) I’m sick of looking at you. Get out of my sight now.

(Aubrey storms up to her room. A short clip is shown of her packing her bag and slamming the front door.)

(Aubrey runs towards a field, wiping tears from her eyes)

(Upon arrival at the field, she slumps down to the floor and puts her head in her hands for 5 seconds. She then looks around in a distressed manner; she spots Riley walking towards her from the distance- long shot)

(Riley caringly approaches Aubrey, sits down next to her and grabs her hand – emphasis on this moment -)

Riley: (quiet and lovingly) I heard you slam the door.

Aubrey: (wipes tears from her face) Its nothing. My mum just doesn’t understand

(Riley lights a cigarette and has a puff, then passes the cigarette to Aubrey)

Riley: I understand, my dad doesn’t approve either

(long silence and stare longingly at eachother, background music builds up and gets louder, then stops all at once. Black screen with title shows (untamed))

Film Pitch

This is our Emaze presentation we pitched to the class.
Feedback we received
For our film pitch we got many mixed reviews in the different categories. For the category 'clear genre, themes and messages?' we got 6 positive reviews and 1 negative. The majority of the statements said that the film had a clear narrative and was vey relatable to the target audience but the one negative comment stated that there is not much enigma to the story line.
The next category was 'interesting characters?' which we received 10 positive comments saying 'interesting and can relate to reality' and main character had an interesting back story and 3 negative comments stating 'not original and traditional characters' which means that the film opening could be seen as predictable to the audience.
 For the third category, 'is the target audience suitable' all 13 pieces of feedback were positive saying things such as 'the target audience is perfect for this film' and 'will relate to the target audience because it relates to teens. Overall, our film pitch received mainly positive feedback with a view negative comments. I believe that this is mainly down to the relatable narrative and characters.

For the third category, 'is the target audience suitable' all 13 pieces of feedback were positive saying things such as 'the target audience is perfect for this film' and 'will relate to the target audience because it relates to teens. Extra comments that were made were that 'Need appropriate weather, lots to include in 2 1/2 minutes' and 'Interesting story and I would watch it.' Which is helpful criticism as we need to take the weather into consideration when filming outside. Overall, our film pitch received mainly positive feedback with a view negative comments. I believe that this is mainly down to the relatable narrative and characters.

Preliminary Task- School Musical High

This is our preliminary Task where we had to create a film sequence for the genre we were given.  Our group received the genre 'Musical' so we decided to create a parody of the cliche film. High School Musical.
