Audience Feedback

The from the feedback that we have collected from the audience that have watched our 3 minute sequence we have got back;
That our Mise en Scene was good
We found that most of our audience understood our main object of the film (Demonte being gay) but they were not sure what he was setting out to achieve, we also got back that the relationship between the characters was not entirely clear.
We had mixed views of our camera work as they varied between; good to weak.
We also had mixed views on editing from ok to very weak.
The sound of our sequence was mainly goods and ok's.
Our titles were said to be mainly ok's.
From the feedback that we have got back we have got that our strengths are that our sequence is funny, we have used a good variety of camera shots, the Mise en Scene relates to the film sexuality, age and gender. Our dialogue was also a strength that was picked up on.
The weaknesses that got picked up on was mainly the editing.

altering the film sequence

we had to alter our film sequence because the sound was abit fuzzy and there was alot of background noise. we did this from final cut express, it was very easy to use and helped our film sequence be better.

Textual Analysis - Kevin and Perry go large

Camera-

At the beginning of the opening sequence, Kevin is having a dream, that he was in the victorian times. The shots that were used were, extreme close up, long shot and close up shot.

Then there is a clip of Kevin in his bedroom, the clips that are used are a low angle shot, a long shot, a close up, an extreme close up and two person shot. 

throughout the rest of the opening sequence shots such as;

Hand held camera shots

Panning

low angle shots

Extreme long shot / panning with title of film

Representation of characters

The representation that these characters give across, is a typical teenage boy, and the things they get up to. They also give the representation of how teenagers act towards their parents, and how the parents handle not being obeyed. 

It also shows perhaps a hobbie that teenagers would be into "music". Kevin and Perry enjoy to DJ, but again, they disobey their parents with playing their music to loud, i think this opening sequence represents teenagers well.

The cutting between shots

Fading out

Titles of the film and the end

Sound

Throughout the opening sequence there was an ongoing beat behind the actors talking this is called non-diegetic sound.

There is one scene where Kevin and Perry are DJ in their bedroom, this music would be called diegetic sound 

We did not look at the whole of this clip, we studied up to where the title of the film comes up,

which is around 5 minutes 07.

Whilst filming our 2 minute sequence

Whilst filming our two minute sequence we came across some problems, that we didn't think would be an issue whilst planning.
The cast that we were planning on using, was not as easy to bring together, because of other lessons, and different timetables. we tried a number of times to bring our cast together but for different reasons they could not get out of their lesson. Our group from college was allowed to miss lesson as we got slips from our teacher, but the cast members that we used who did not do media could not get one of these, and so it was difficult for them. One of our main characters "Spike" played a large part in our play, and was also a large part in our planning, but because she could not miss any of her lessons, we where unable to get her into our filming. As she played a large part in this we had to re-think our filming, but we managed to film it so as it still made sense, and she was still referred in it.
Another thing that we had in our plan was the location, we was planning on going to Brighton to film a small section, but we did not manage to get this to go ahead as we planned a day to go, but due to other crews commitments we did not manage to go.
Although we came across some issues we managed to correct them and cover them up. I now know that if we were to do this again, we would have to plan more accurately and have the time in consideration, and perhaps make it more realistic, as it is difficult to organize when a group of people can all get time out of college.
