Little Red Riding Hood Evaluation
This is my first media production Jack Banham and I made, and an overall impression with the whole project was that it was fun and I enjoyed it but it was very complex.
After the final viewing in front of the class, our classmates gave some positive feedbacks and also made comments on what we needed to improve and we will be taking it considerably for the final OTS production. In my opinion I personally think that we should have recruited more actors/ people to take part in with the production as this would have made it seem more professional as we had to use the same people for different actors and this was very time consuming; adding more people to take part in it would have benefited our camera compositions as most of the scenes were still.
When starting to produce our Opening Title Sequence with ISHBANDAM Productions. A lot more effort will be needed to produce an excellent OTS - a lot of time will be considered with camera and compositions, editing/lighting, sound and mise-en-scene, such as with mise-en-scene where we did not explore a variety of clothing when producing this project - this made it very limited and basic as we just used our day to day outfits so we need to be more creative. Editing and lighting will be something to focus on to make the atmosphere and mood to be more enhanced to give it more of a cinematic look to our opening title sequence.
Another thing we could of have improved was our settings/ locations as we lacked of creativity although we had a very short time frame to accomplish this production - we had limited and small ideas on where to set the scenes such as using the woods and a random house. Also another thing we could improve on is to make the scenes more realistic such as when we were trying to achieve an interior-looking setting by using a drama room which was not really realistic in terms of it looking like a living room or so... and it did not fit in with the house we used to pretend to be in.
When producing this continuity task with ISHBAN Productions, it was very useful in terms of the media techniques we have learnt during the journey of our production; such as we explored a variety of camera angles to test and see if it is suitable for our final project. As I was new to media but had a strong interest with the subject, it made me determined to know the camera angles and what it represents.
The continuity task took longer as expected and had a load of delays due to the fact we only had the 2 of us (Jack and I) to do all the tasks - this meant that we had to split up the workload evenly as it was too much to handle with the time given. I enjoyed showing the class our production as this allowed me to pick out the best scenes within our final scene for example when the gangster (wolf) shoots the femme fatale which in this case it is the (granddad) was very well composed and edited, and knowing that the whole class appreciated it, it made us feel proud of what we have achieved for the first media production.
In order to achieve a better production; in my opinion I think that planning is key and time should be spent on it as the only planning we done with this production is the most simplistic storyboard which was very vague - this made us to improvise with pretty much everything including the dialogue and only had two run through's before filming it and this was a mistake as it was time consuming which we could not afford to lose; so planning ahead and jotting down key scenes and focusing on improving them in great depth which will result a better outcome, same with the dialogue, there should be a script which is accurate; this would be more efficient.
