FIB:New Haven evaluation

FIB: New Haven

The Italian Job Evaluation

In my crime drama trailer FIB: New Haven we had things that went really well while some things were not so good.

The things that went well in our trailer I think is firstly the editing of the video, I think the scene order, transitions and special effects went really well with the trailer. Another good thing about our trailer were the locations, as it was filmed in school they couldn’t be the best but we did well in our selection. Finally the shots we took were mostly steady accept the first person shot when the Victim is dragged.

Things we could improve on was firstly the camera shot types, I would have preferred if we took more camera shot types like an extra-long shot to establish the scene or a canted shot for the villain to show him as a sick and twisted villain. Also the sound quality hen we filmed outside was poor because of the windy conditions, it would have made the trailer sound a lot more professional if we cut the sound from that scene or filmed indoors.

The film followed mostly our storyboard and script, but certain things like not having props like police tape stopped us rom following it fully. I believe the trailer met most audience expectations. There were police, a murder, a bad guy, a victim but lacked some things like a chase scene or the good guy catching the bad guy.

In my group there were 5 people, me, Jordan Wardle, Matt Lumley, Rory Giddings and Andrew Goldman. Overall we performed well. Matt and Jordan were the detectives, I was the victim, Rory was the farmer and scientist and Andrew was Antonio the bad guy. Acting was really good from Rory and Andrew while the detectives made mistakes like looking at the camera. This happened once in the interrogation room Jordan looked at the camera. We tried to make sure that everyone got the same amount of camera time by adding multiple roles to people like Rory giving him the farmer and scientist role.

Before filming we did all our pre-production, researching others like Sherlock and CSI our storyboard so we knew what scenes to shoot, a script so we knew what to say, a production schedule to know when to shoot certain scenes and watch crime drama trailers to see how to edit ours. The script and storyboard really helped so we were not thinking of what to do on the spot. Also the synopsis and outline to the trailer helped us understand our story more and was it was about.

From my peers my feedback was overall very good. The story was conveyed well, the camera work was good meaning there was no shaking of the camera and the shot types were good. The editing was well done, the titles were good and most importantly it looked like a crime drama. Things I could have improved on were special effect and sound effects. There was only one special effect during the trailer when I am being dragged and my vision is blurred and no sound effects were made. The comments my peers have left me show I need to make an effort to add effects to my film a firstly they are appealing and the props used need to be more convincing than just a test tube and water in the forensic scene.
