Preliminary Task - "Cringey Joe"

This was our preliminary task - Cringey Joe
We have still included aspects from this in our film Strides but feel we have improved much more since then.

Improvements.

If we had time to go back and make any improvements I think that we could of improved a lot of our camera shots. Some of the shots are very shaky, which is a fault of ours for not having the camera on the tripod steadily. Also I think that we should of allowed ourselves more time to do the original split screen editing that we set out to do in the beginning. This would of made our film a lot more successful and interesting and would of portrayed the message of the differences between the characters that we planned to make.

I also think we could of made more effort with costume & props, to make them seem more convincing. The idea of the drug dealing isn't shown as clearly as intended, and we could of made this more realistic. We could of been a bit more experimental with the camera work too, maybe a few more close ups.

Finally, I think that we could of maybe produced our soundtrack ourselves, rather than having a very common song choice, although this does attract the audience.

Working Title.

Working Title Films is a British film production company which is based in London. It produces feature films and several television productions. This is the production company that we feel would be most suited to our film 'Strides'. They have produced many films with similar storylines to ours... Here are a few examples... 

Progress.

Today we are adding all the finishing touches to our Opening Sequence. We are nearly finished... Just had a few technical issues with our soundtrack but we're solving these problems at the moment. We still need to add our Titles which we are currently editing.
