Feedback from presentation of Holloway Road

We showed our two minute film opening of 'Holloway Road' to the class. At the time we did not have any fonts orsounds because we could not find any suitable. For this reason we recieved rather varied feedback. Some positives were that our opening shot was very effective, because it jumps straight into the story, our pre-prepared worked effectively, and our fridge shot and match on action both were both good. Some of the things we needed to work on were the music, as there was very little sound at this point, we also needed to add more titles to the shots and adding a soundbridge at the beginning was recommended.

By recieving feedback from our classmates, it will help us to gain the best possible mark. We will definetely add a sound bridge at the beginning of our film, along with the music and extra titles, to ensure our film is as good as it can be.

Evaluation of Holloway Road Notes for Q 1 and podcast

7 questions answered in podcast with Will Turner - if it won't play then the same podcast is on Will Turner's blog. Unfortunately our answer to the first question is missing from this video, so these are our points about question one:

• We only used narration in our two minute film opening at the very end, when me Will and Andrew are walking down the alleyway, this gives some good background information on who we are and why we are part of the Arsenal firm.
• We didn't use any flashbacks or flashforwards in our opening, instead we had the story from my view, getting ready, and Will and Andrew's view of walking to meet me. This helped to build up a clear picture of the events unfolding.
• Our film is typical of its genre, the opening is similar to that of "Football Factory" or "Rise of The Footsoldier" where we are all gathering to go to football and cause trouble.
• We decided that to make the film opening seem more realistic, we should dress the way football hooligans do, and use similar language, hence the reason we occasionally swear, of course this had to be moderated to a degree. The mise en scene is clear, we are all wearing jeans, generally looking fairly casual.
