Another new team! Glad to have you on board! Stick around, I see some potential here for sure!
You guys could do with some new gear, I think, too. But your camera gives a good picture, and you made a good effort to use it from several interesting angles. Take it a step further and play with extremes -- super close-ups, long wide-shots, crooked angles... Have some fun with your cinematography and it'll really show, and also give your editing some punch!
Your use of the keyboard number pad actually worked surprisingly well. Good job being resourceful! Keep that spirit up!
You also had some funny moments in those flashbacks, although I'd be careful not to milk the ripply-transitions too much, or your joke might feel a little too long. I think the unexpected golf club clobber is best when used abruptly, because it doesn't give the audience enough time to guess what will happen. :)
Great job, though! Really, I think your next one will be even cooler. Good luck!
not to bad not to bad....cud work on some stuff but its better than the other part of ur class...
Joey-AM student
this is the greatest espiacally that bald kid he is awesome
not bad...... better then my... good luck
Would of been better with some more close ups and different shots. It was good though, funny a little bit with the dream, but it took kind of long to get in and out of it. Should of been shorter. Still good though =D
Good job team! Next time we have to use the tripod.
Uh, sorry. What is with the audio? HORRIBLE! And the locations? Did you shoot this at school in your hour break between class? The use of the number pad was clever, but the quality of acting, editing and filming is poor. No offense, but I hope you guys aren't studying film. If you guys were younger, I'd applaud you for trying, but I can tell it's not the case. Too many people on here just don't take these things seriously. It would be nice if there was a website for talented locals on the rise.
8512S, why don't you get a life? I'm not even involved with any of these entries, but you're pissing me off just the same. This site is for everyone, amateur or not. It's a filmmaking COMMUNITY, not some elite club.
The editing was pretty good. If I may make a few suggestions. First I would keep try to keep the audio levels consistent through the scenes. This helps keep people emerged in the story. We don't want people to break out of the story and get to thinking about the technical stuff. Sound goes a long, long way. I find it always helps to have headphones attached to the camera so you can hear how it will sound. If there isn't a jack then I always do some test shots of the distance where the volume falls off. I stand in the camera and say something then step back all the way until I can't hear myself. I replay this and look at where the fall off range is and make sure I always frame my actors in that range and never outside of it. If this means mostly close up shots then so be it. And all the other shots I just record the audio and dub over it. If it is that far away then you won't really notice the sync isn't exactly right anyway. I liked the dream sequence and how you tied them both in together. As far as the story I think it is ok however it almost seems a little too extreme for the age group on screen. It might be impossible to actually write for the age group being used because of how the competition is set up but it is something to consider. Playing the part of what most people traditionally would view as being an older age group might be a little hard to sell to the audience. Overall this was pretty descent and I say keep up the good work!
Yo dudes, I'm diggin it, the letterbox changed a number of times, best to keep it consistent and all. I laughed at the whaa line, and at the kill him....beat down! Was there some in class plot espionage with the kill the boss thing?
Film being primarily a visual storytelling format, I would disagree with the advice of sacrificing your vision for the sake of the audio....you can always redo audio, but the picture is the picture is the picture....it would make no sense to close off your visual options due to the reach of your on-camera mic, if anything, overdub later or use an external (myself included!)
I hope we get to see more entries from all of you guys!
some of your guys stuff was mad funny. the dude getting beat with a club hahaha
@BohemianFilmCommune ahh but it isn't a sacrifice of vision really. Basically you shoot your actors at a distance saying their lines. You then shoot your actors close up shots saying their lines. You use the shots of the close ups cutting in the long shot or dub in the audio. If anything it would be getting better vision on top of good audio.
8512S u need to shut the hell up dude...yah they did it in skewl because we did it as a skewl project and obviously there not doing to bad and neither is my group "the crew" u need to get a life or make a submission and then u can here some of our comments on ur flaws untill then lay off other pppls stuff yah digg
