Final Cut

Here is the final cut for our British Social Realism film opening.

Project criteria & What level we think we are working at?

Our 'Test Screening' suggested that we are working at a Level 3, maybe a Level 4, with a mark between 40-60.
We think that we are a strong Level 3 as we have included both diagetic and non-diagetic soundtrack that we have created ourselves. We researched the soundtrack and found that British Social Realism dramas use upbeat ska tracks, so that is what we tried to create.
A variety of camera shots have been filmed in relevant locations to contrast the two different classes.
we have used naturalistic and realistic costume to fit with the genre.
The titles need to be made smaller and not overlap onto the footage, (stay within the black areas).

Level 3 Criteria:
There is evidence of proficiency in the creative use of many of the following technical skills, holding shot steady, where appropriate.

Plan of changes after recieving feedback.

Mise-en-scene:
The main comment for mise-en-scene was that the location was a bit too predictable. However unfortunately we are limited to the location we have chosen and also are under time pressure so we cannot make these changes.

Camerawork:
Camera movements too slow, shots held on too long. We have cut them down already, we need to keep them the same so the character footage length is in propourtion. It reflects the characters way of life - higher class, fast paced. Lower class, slower paced.

Editing:
We were asked to make titles smaller and make them more animated, such as moving text. we are going to make the titles smaller but we are not adding effects to the titles as this would make it less naturalistic and would not suit the genre of british social realism.

Sound:
Our sound was said to be too upbeat, we think the suits the routine of the people as one is a up-beat life and the other is rushing which is also up-beat. We based the soundtrack on 'This is england' which also has an up-beat reggae based soundtrack.

Generic Conventions:
There were no comments on improvements for the generic conventions.

Feedback from Test Screening

Mise en scene - Include a good choice of costume, however less predictable locations would have been a better idea. The alarm was a good prop and also using the mobile phone to contrast the two classes.

Camerawork: There are slow camera movements, however there is a good variety of camera shots.

Editing: the pace of the clips has a good flow that helps to give the viewer a sense of time between the two characters. Need to make the titles a bit smaller and could add some more movement to them such as sliding in. Also, need to make sure titles don't overlap into footage.

Sound: A bit too upbeat.

Generic Conventions: The locations have been picked well for the social realism convention.

Given Level: Level 3, mark between 40-60. Proficient.
