Analysis Of Current Version

With the help of our teachers, me and my group sat down to review our current progress.

Positives

Some of the positives we agreed on include the mood and tone set by the mise-en-scene and sound. We deliberately used a melancholy non-diegetic score as the narrative follows that path. The shots of the protagonist looking out of the window also suggests a reminiscent mood which leads nicely into the flashback sequence.

We also agreed that the flashback sequence achieved what we aimed for it to do so. With the transition effect of white fades making it noticeably a flashback. The innocence of the younger version of the protagonist is also something we though was successful and is something we can work on in the future versions.

Having a good group dynamic has also helped get us the stage we are at now with each member understanding their roles and responsibilities

Negatives

Some of the things we are not quite sure about include the later stages of the sequence feeling quite repetitive and boring. This is probably because although their is fair amount of shots used they often come at the same angle or the framing is similar. To improve this one of our options is to intercut some new footage we will have to film including the younger version of our protagonist.

What Next

In order to continue work efficiently and professionally to match our deadline me and my group still have to produce some introductory titles along with some minor editing involving the sound levels. One thing we still have to discuss is wether or not to do some further shooting and choose the option of intercutting some more footage.
