Holly and I went on an adventure through a park on the beach, we watched the sunset, went for a quick dip in the water, wrote our names in the sand, explored through the tree's, and then had a scenic road trip on the way home.

Evaluation of Film Progress

Introduction:

Has your film been edited to engage the audience initially and to establish the tone of the piece?

Yes, my film has been edited in a way that shows the type of piece that it is. It starts off with the music and in a way it tells a story of our day and what we get up to.

What are you going to do to engage the audience? Describe the sounds, lighting, shot types and effects that fit with the genre of your film and how you will incorporate these at the start of your film.

The sound is the the 'The Piper's Song' by Gyspy and the Cat. The shot types range from far and close up, and the lighting is very bright as it is the sunset and the sun is going down. There is a lot of shots of the sun shining in the background. All these things incorporate together to create the genre of my film.

Have you carefully chosen audio to suit the pace of the project? Describe the audio and the pace?

Yes, the audio chosen 'The Piper's Song' by Gyspy and the Cat, was picked because it is an upbeat but calm and spiritual song, which fits perfectly in with the theme of the project.

Describe the pace of your music and the type of shots (close-up, mid, high, etc) that you will be creating to fit with the music

The pace of my music is fast and upbeat, but it is also very spiritual at times. This fits in with the shot types that have the sun shining directly at the camera.

Have you included credits at the start or end of your film?

What information should be included here?

No, I have credits at the end of the film though.

Pace

Is the film edited to appropriately suit the rhythm of the scene? Describe the use of techniques such as selective timing and length of shots (either action or sound)

Yes, the film is edited to suit the rhythm of the scene by cutting the shots to move quickly with the beat of the song.

Emotional intention

Have you edited the footage to create heightened expression and audience responses? Describe how you are going to achieve this. i.e. cross dissolves, graphic matches, effects etc

Yes I have edited the footage to create heightened expression and audience responses. I have used cross dissolves throughout the film in-between different shots, as well as contrast effects and just direct cuts at times.

Editing techniques

Have you created links between shots and throughout the film to emotionally engage the viewer with your story ( i.e. is your film tied together through theme, colour, story, objects etc?)

My film is tied together through theme, the different bright colours, and the story of us starting in the car, enjoying the scenery at the beach, and then then the drive home.
