Feedback from my peers

Ross Alden- 16 - I really like this film, from the narrative sequence to the tense phone call, it kept me on the edge of my seat and engaged throughout, the clever use of editing is also very effective.

Oliver Biggin-16 - Altogether i thought the film was amazing! the story line was clever and creative. It made me want to watch more of it!

Jack Pearce-17- I found the film was enjoyable, i thought the location could have been upgraded but this is defiantly a film i would watch if it came out in the cinema, well done!

I have also posted my film over Facebook to my target audiences,I also posted my film on fan pages of action films over Facebook and twitter, this feedback was useful because the vast majority of my target audience really enjoyed my film, this shows that my film has been successfully created to suit my target audience!

Here are some of the feedback messages from my YouTube channel, Facebook and twitter 


Thomas Albert (Twitter)-26- Hi man, this film is good! i like the way you have used a variety of camera shots in the phone scene at the end, but seriously good job :D

Jade smith (Facebook)-19- This is a good standard of work from an AS student, i think you could have used more transitions in your opening and sometimes you can hear interference with the camera but they are only little problems! 

 

Representational issues - Ethnicity- EVALUATION

There are some representational issues in our foundation production 'The Hit', These include, our villain is russian. I think the reason why i chose a russian villain was mainly because you see a lot of them in movies, for instance in the james bond film there are numerous stereotypical devious Villains which are from Russia. And also the fact that the protagonist in 'The Hit' is an english white male. Again, this is the case in mainly most of the action/thriller films.

'The Hit' so far

The Hit - Foundation production EVALUATION

Altogether i am very pleased with the end product which i have created. Both my media teachers enjoyed the final product. The only advise which i was given to slightly improve the movie was to add credits during the film telling the audience who is starring in the film, i have successfully added this to the movie.

We were also told to cut some of the parts which went on for a little bit too long, shortly after i then cut some of the parts which my teacher thought went on for too long. All of this constructive advise from my teacher payed off because it improved my film and made it seem more professional.

A problem with the sound came from the camera feedback, this was heard in the background with the scenes inside and outside the house, this wasn't a major problem though and the non diagetic soundtrack covers up most of the camera feedback. And i have to say that the majority of the camera angles which i shot were different and effective.

We also used various editing techniques to our film such as the Camera Steady tool which smooths the shot to reduce the visible shake. This turned out to be very useful in the scene where the camera is following Nazo down the street while the narration sequence is taking place.


My target audience would be 15-30 year olds, i think this mainly because our film would be a 15 due to the violence, and i think it will suit this audience more because with a 15 you have to be mature enough to understand the film and to make your own conclusions on what will happen in the end. This film wouldn't be an 18 because it doesn't have any sexual scenes and it wouldn't have as much strong language.

Here is the gag reel for 'The Hit' !
