Evaluating Sweded Version Of Star Wars :Return of jedi



Strength from our Swede

What are the strength in our camera Language 




One of my strength from camera language from the swede we produced was when at (0:39-0:40) , it denoted as an over the shoulder shot ,in the park , with Yoda and Luke as
the character. How this was our strength was that we had the same camera language as our swede. Also the positioning of the camera of high angle showed the important of the character.






Another strength from our camera language from our swede was at (0:49) this two shot ,that was shot in school , which some of the class mate , used for actors. Why this shot work is that it denoted the two characters , and define each of the  characters position, as this shot was lead into shot reverse shot , which has the same camera technique in the real film.





What are the strength from our Mise-en-Scene



One of the strength from our Mise-en-scene is the props we used at (1:12-1:28).The props where light saber , which where used in the battle scene against Luke Sky walker and Darth Vader. Why the props of the light sabers were a strength as. It made the swede indicated that it was a star wars movie , as it would made the swede look recognizable to the audience.



Another strength from our Mise-en-scene was the costume , as at (1:09). The costume that our character wore was a white shirt , with a black waist coat . How this was a strength was , that the character in the swede had an identical look to the character to the one in the film, which made it recognizable , to that this is a star wars movie.





What are the strength from our Sound

Sound of Ewokes and Troopers


One of the strength we have with our sound was, the voice over of the Storm Troopers and Ewoke , and (1:06). Sound was voiced over by the director. How this was a strength as this created a more active audio to it , as this was to imated and copy the film structure of sound , but in a really badly way ,to the original film .


The into Theme Music


Another Strength from our sound , was voice over at (0:00-0:11) . As this was voiced over by a group of our class mates , we had imitated the theme tune of the original sound track of the movie. Why this was a strength as this made the swede recognizable , this would have indicated to the viewer that it is a star wars movie .




Weakness/Improvement from our swede

What are the weakness/improment in our Swede Camera Language





One of the weakness in our camera language was the mid shot at (1:08). This was filmed in the park , with some drawn out props ,with a actor playing Han Solo. How this was a weakness was that the shot was not defined properly , as it covered most of the character with the props , as the camera was too high for the character , as the rule of thirds was not shown.How we could improve this is by cutting out the white spaces of the props, which would make the shot more define , and display the character more.




Another weakness from the camera language was mid shot at (0:59) . How this shot was a weakness , is that there was not a still movement as it effected the way it looked with the swede, as there was shaky cam , that looked like it was not on a tripod, which we start to lose the rule of thirds.How we could improve this is by putting the camera on a tripod to keep steady, this would make it less shaky and stay with the flow of the swede.



What are the weakness/improment in our Mise-en-scene




One of the Mise-en-scene weakness was the production design at ( 1:00) .This was filmed in the park , with the crew holding the prop showing the , and moving it along. what was weak about this was the location of the shot as it too alike as a park gate , as it did not imitate the location of the movie scene used. How we would improve this is by , constructing a prop , of the building in the movie , which would make it recognizable from the movie.



Another weakness that we found with the Mise-en-scene was at (0:15) , with a long shot. This shot included a character that was on the table , with grey bottoms and a back top. The weak thing about this is that costume of the character was not on point , as it is not recognizable that this is Jabber from the film , as it is a mixture between two costume.




What are the weakness/improvment in our sound


One of the weakness from our sound was , at (0:42-0:45). This was produced in the park , with student from class as actors . The weakness that we discovered, was that the sound , had wind in the background , which disrupted the dialog , that was being said by the character , as this make it not fit the flow of the sweded. How we could have improve this is by going to a less windily location , which would make the dialogue from the character.




Another weakness , in sound was , at (1:12-1:18). This
was filmed in the drama studio , which two character having a light saber fight. How this was a weakness is that , it did not sound recognizable to the viewer , as the sound of the light saber hitting sound too plain , it did not sound like a light saber .How we could improve , this is by , doing sound effect with our voices , and adding it in , this would make the scene more active.





How did you Improve your skills

How did you improve your Pre-production skills


How i have improved my pre-production skills , is from the crew list as we have stuck to the crew list as , there should be a title given to a person that works in the group , this has prepared , us for the production part , I have learnt that you have to stick to your job.


How also i have improved on my pre-production , is to organised what , shot we have to record , what this has done to improve is to , help structure and save time , from doing shots one by one . As this help , with having a clear understanding what shots you have completed.


How did you improve on logistical/production management skills

How we have improved on logistical/production management skills , as before production we had managed out when we are , we going to film each part of the swede . What i have learnt and improved is that you should spread out the location on different day , to make it easier.

How i also improved the logistical/production management skills was the cast list as ,the management for who was who character is. This made us keep track of the character that we will need on specif days, that we needed the character, I have improve this skill , as we should pick character that would be reliable


How did you improve the Mise-en-scene skills



How i improved the mise-en-scene skills , is that the props that we used was , representing the old time as they used models as props, as we used a props of a ship to re create a scene in the movie to make it recognizably.

How we also improved the  Mise-en-scene was the location of the scene , as we choose location that , would relate to the recognition of the real movie . How this improve our mise-en-scene was that pick an location that would represent and define the situation.




How well does your swede imitate the real film?



How our swede imitate the real film is that at (0:00-0:11). The sound denotes that it is a Star Wars theme tune , how it also denoted is the font of the intro , which is yellow and bold text. As this connotes the intro of the real film , as it has a black background , with a same view as the font we used in our swede. It has a accurate shots of the scene as the scene from the real film has a scrolling effect of the font . Which is denoted back to the font we used in our swede as we scrolled upwards.



Another way we imitated the real film , is the scene when Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker Battle. As the props we used where, denoted as a green and red light sabers , another prop we used was Darth vader mask. which connoted the antagonist in the film.As this made the film recognizable to audience of who the antagonist is and the protagonist is .

Edit Workshop Evaulation

How I denoted the 180 degree rule was , was the boss wearing a blue suit spoke to franki ,

wearing the black suit , and franki reposed and then the Boss gives his opinion, as this consist of multiply shots of over the shoulder shots , this represented the shot , reverse , shot , what defined the we kept to 180 degree rule was , that we had a two shot before the shot, reverse , shot to define where each character was sitting , as franki was sitting on the left and Boss was sitting on the right , we did not cross the line to make the character look opposite side. What else we contained in the film was match on action , as this was displayed at the begging when franki was walking up to the Bosses office door and showed a carried on action from the other side of the room.

What Challenges we faced during Production?

What challenges we faced during production , was the setting of our film , was looking to alike as a school corridor as we , wanted to make the setting of the film to be ,an office of a high standers that was meant for a Boss of a mafia gang. If we filmed this again we would have , what we would change was the position of the camera shots , as the shots we used denoted to us that it was a school.

What Challenges we Faced during post Production?

The challenge i faced during Post-Production , is that the shot to the next shot had a slight mistake , that looked out of placed , which made it hard to tight edit the film , this was because we did not keep small props in place and looked out of shot in the next one , what this did was have less freedom with the edit of the film
Mistake on the placement of shot

Strength Of our Work?

The strength i had in our work was the creativity as , i had a visual idea of what the film would look like as a whole , because i had a thought and scene of what each shot of the camera would look like and what the shot would denote and connote to the audience , what each shot of the film would mean as there was a purpose to each shot. 

Weakness Of our Work?

The weakness i had in our work was the planning of the film , it was the planning that let me down as the props and location were not of how i visualized the film to contain , as it was not planned the way i visualized the film, because the planning i did , did not fully include the visual idea of the film.
Visual of film

Improvements Of our Film?

The improvements i would do is to have a idea of what is available to use to use in the film production to use facility that is available , not to think that this , is a high production movie , as the film we made has no budget , as this film had to be made from no budgets , because it is not a high production film. I have a visualized a film that contains , things that is not in our budget.
