What Do You Think Of Our blog???


1. What do you think of our blog ?
What do you particularly like about it ? What's especially impressive ?

What could be improved ? What's missing or could be added ?

2. Based on what you've read on the blog (and maybe seen in test screenings in class) what suggestions do you have regarding what we could do to make our Practical Production really successful ?
What other things could we include in the production ?
How should we go about filming any remaining scenes or editing the footage during post-production (+ suggestions for music, etc.) ?

The thing i like about your blog,is it is very colourful and bright.
To improve your blog you could add more detail,into an insite of what your prodcution is about.
To make your production more intresting you could add more blurry scenes and try to shoot in the night as this adds to the genre of your production.Also try shooting in more than one setting so your shoots vary. I.e: Cemetry & Church.

I really liked your roduction when it was shown to us in class. it clearly has elements that a Horror trailer should include (is that the genre :S:S) however, i think you could maybe improve it by erm, first of all re-shooting Lamia's bit, lool the news reporter part didn't really look realistic. other than that everything is really good. i love the way the blury shots were added (even though that was an accident!!) but i think it goes really well and you lot should consider adding more, dont over do it though!!
i think you lot are keeping upto work with all of the things on the blog, a really good thing you have done is show everyone's role and contribution to the production. it makes it so much easier for Mr Bush to see what you've been doin and also us to see what you have done.

1. I like all the detailed research that you've carried out on horror films as it is very informative.

2. I think that you could add more pictures up and possibly clips of the filming that you've done so far.

3. As your production is a horror film you should have quick editing and use Parallel music.

hey well ur blog seems really interesting...so far this year no one has decided 2 do a horror...last year there was lyk 2 or 3 horror trailers...so i gess urs will stand out this year. i think the colours can be better...link them more with the theme

The research is good, perhaps add your opinion.

Add pictures and footage.

Use sterotypical piano/violin music to comply to conventions.

Your blog looks good, you have got alot of reseacrh which is good for others to see.

You can maybe add in pictures of your filming and post it up on the blog it will make your blog look lively.

As your doing a trailer, it will be good to use fast shots.

Good luck

*Your blog is looking really good and your production sounds unique as no one else is doing a horror trailer.

* You have done a lot of research and written detailed progress reports but you could add a few pictures and videos of trailers.

Keep up the good work:)

Firstly...the idea is cool...horror..i bet Hasnaa insisted it. The colour blue used it good...but it makes it hard to read...

Make the Blog abit live....add pics...more colours...well Horror is mostly relates to darker colours...but change your font colour...

i havent seen your test screen but make use of good areas...like cemetries...dark roads...give it a very distinctive look etc etc

The blogs really good, but you guys need to change the colour of the font, as its abit difficult to read.

The filming ive seen looks pretty good, but instead of just have long and medium shots, make sure that you show the emotions of the characters to show that they are scared...
Another thing is when editing, make the edits fast, and so that there is like a flash...(maybe red - blood) if that makes sense...
Or in the back ground have the sound of a heart beat, getting faster to show the fear..

This doc seems really interesting and different you have included alot of information and it all looks as though it is coming along well.

you could perhaps put some footage up and maybe a few more pictures, even if you analyse a picture it makes it alot easier for people to get the feel of it!

keep up the good work!

FIRSTLY THE PICTURE YOU HAVE UP OF VALERA WITH BLOOD AND THE WHOLE KNIFE THING JUS DOES IT DUDES. IT SETS UP A GOOD IMAGE OF THE BLOG AND MAKES THE AUDIENCE WANT TO READ ON, ITS EYE CATCHING AND LOOKS LIKE A POSTER IMAE TO DRAW THE AUDIENCE IN.

I THINK THE ONLY THING YOU SHOULD REALLY DO IS ADD MORE PICTURES AND MAYBE SOME FOOTAGE TO CARRY ON THE AFFECT OF DRAWING A READRS ATTENTION, BT ITS REALLY GOOD, THERES ALOT OF STUFF ON THE BLOG, JUST SOME PICTURES AND FOOTAGE WILL BE GOOD.

Blog looks good. Lots of good posts up. I like the way Hasnaa broke her progress report in to diff categories as it makes it easier to read and seems more focussed.

To improve your blog try and add a few more images and also post up a structure of your trailer or storyline in order to help you.

I really liked the footage that we saw in class. You had lots of good shots and the blur worked well. Although, try to get hold of a wider variety of settings to shoot and include some close-ups of characters. You need to build up a relationship with the victim and the audience so that your trailer is effective in getting the audience to identify with your main character.


good luck n well done...

1.The blog is eyecatching and the research you've posted up is quite good. However add more pictures and videos to make it look more attractive

2. Always use a tripod and make sure the misce-en-scene u chose is effective for the type of scene u are trying to film . LOOOOOL like the news report dont do it in the middle of greenford high schools playground. But still a good blog

Your blog looks really good and you've done soooo many progress reports which shows you're getting far with your filming. Your footage so far is really good-its already fulfilling its purpose cos it scared me! use a lot of different dark settings and different type of shots such as blurs and point of view as this will make it even more scarier. Also give it some scary background music like screams, breath, and a heartbeat,o and maybe an evil laugh-hasna's good at them!
Like the bright colours on your blog but use them instead of the black because its harder to read.
Well Done and good luck!

I think the blog looks good and I like your idea as no one else is doing horror. Your research is detailed and you’ve made the blog colourful.
I think you could add more pictures and to make the final thing successful you should defiantly use Parallel music, as it will make it dramatic.
Overall, it all looks very good.

blog looks really good, the background is very attractive and makes us want to read the detail. the pictures look very realistic and base dont he test screening we have seen in class your trailer looks very impressive and realistic, the blurred shots are looking good and adds suspence.

try and find different types of settings and if possible shoot in the night as this is better due to the fact that it is a trailer for a scary movie.

alot of good footage and a good blag keep it up.

1)
your blog lukin well good, it's very detailed and colourful...add a bitmore detail on what your production is exactly about. also add some more images on your blog.

2)
the footage we've seen in class it's lookin well good, you may need to re film Lamia's bit agin as the background scenery is not very good.. also film in more scary places like a graveyard.. overall the footage looks very good n very realistic.

You bogs looking great, perhaps you could add more pictures

good luck with it

1. Good research and progress reports.

2. Too dark font in some areas, black does not work well

3.Use fast pace cuts, silence for tension.

4. Footage in the dark, nightime, will create the fear.

Good Luck!

The blogs looking good but add more pictures and stuff..

For your documentary use typical, original horror film conventions to create authenticity- think American Psycho!! Hope that helps! :)

thelavishlife said...

i like your blog as it's quite colourful and the layout is good too...
buh i have to say it needs more detail on what the whole production is about and also the fact that its ment to be wuite gloomy and so it;s a good idea to film in the night to capture good shoots and also get the setting that is right for the production
