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 .

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.

School Notice Board

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.

Camera Shot

For the short movie the first shot we used was an establishing shot to mid shot and there was a movement of tilt , the shots denote the surrounding and define the character as franki is coming into the shot , what the movement connotes as the shot is moving as the short movie is active , which is  display the scenario of the short movie. The second shot we used was a close up with a movement of tracking , what the close up denoted as a worried facial expression and  with glasses on of the character of franki , which connoted the dramatics and intensity of the short movie , as the close up shot allows the viewer be more in depth , the movement connotes the speed of the character as (franki) was moving slow because of the close up of his facial expression of him worried. Bit further on in the storyboard the 8 shot we used was meant to be a close up of the hand but included a mid shot of the second character through doors window the canted angle , what the shot denotes is a hand opening a door and through the glass door is where the character is sitting , what this shot connotes is who the room belong to and who the character is meeting as this shot define two things , is who the owner and what action is being committed.

Mise-En-Scene

The production design of the short movie was an office (Mr rumbles), as we used this because it connotes a high authority , as the character that own the office is a Boss , with high standers.

Lighting of the short movie we used was , natural and artificial lighting ,we used this to make the the movie realistic as possible, we use artificial lighting because it made us in control of the shadows and define the character clearly , we had artificial lighting used as this connoted pure look to the characters, as this define each character as , good or bad. The actor Performance display the different between each character , as the Boss (ben) denote a loud and up front presents of his voice , and show a st urn and frustrated facile expression , what this connotes is power and authority of the Boss , but Franki is denotes and voice as quit and with his head down , what this connote is weakness and defined as a sheep as he get told what to do  , both of these character have be defined with separate hierarchy. The costume we used where high class , as both character were denoted of wearing suits the boss was wearing a blue suite with a blue waist coat as the other was wearing a black suite with a wait and blazer , what this connote is a serious business , showed the different between two character.

Music

For the music we are using is the Godfather 3 soundtrack , of the video the time code starts at (33 min -37 min) we choose this piece of music because it contained something mysterious which would fit right into the short movie as it well create a different feel to the short movie. what this sound track would indicate is that the short movie is a gangster theme movie , because of the soundtrack. This part of soundtrack contains opera into it which creates a different era to the short movie as this movie signifies movie such a goodfelles or the mafia as there are in different era of times and have the same theme as us as we have gangster , the soundtrack signifies , high authority and trust.

Shot List

Graphics

For the graphics , we have used a dark background as it connotes seriousness and deep thoughts , we includes guns into the design as it connotes authority , as the black suit ,connote that this short movie will be about business as it indicates high working class people. For the credits we have include the same materiel you see in the Title graphics , but include the people that were involved and created this short movie , The background denote as being a dark black ,what this connotes to the audience that 

An review of Star Wars:Return of the Jedi

Star wars :Return of the Jedi (DVD)

     The Movie I have Watched was Star wars IV : Return of the Jedi that was released June 2nd 1983. The movie was directed by Richard Marquand . The writer of the script was George lucus. The Genre Of the Movie is Si-Fi , Mark Hamill was the main character as he played Luke Skywalker. 

The Star Wars : return of the Jedi created by George lucus was one of the most successful film made as it was placed 76th top movie of all time. As this movie made £450 million across the world. This movie include the biggest well know star to the fancies , as it include Carrie fisher, Mark Hamill, Harrison ford and also included the  the well know R2-D2 , C-P30 , Chewbacca and not forgetting the Ewoks.

George lucus displayed something unique into the Star Wars movie as the set location of the movie which was not expected to be , but was located on the earth ground and also in space , as the star wars movie has      a representation to me that the movie is only located in                                                                 space , as this was a stereotype to describe the movie.

Ewoks

The writer George lucus adds hidden humors into the movie ,as he display the Ewoks as there are like young children , they bring a funny cuddle view to it. Also what George lucus does it bring a funny relationship between R2-D2 and the C-P30 as there are both robots , there both communicate in a weird and unique way 

Within the movie George lucus had displayed some unwanted and bad looking scene into the movie , as the CGI of the movie look horrible and unfitting in the movie for , as some of the character look fake as this could have been effected by the year this was made in 1983 as where the new technology 

"Spoiler Warning"

The movie also shows a heart hitting side to the story , as two of the most well know character know to the audience have a tragic ending as both of them end with a advice speech to luke skywalker. But what had made it tearful to watch was the ending as thing remarks a relationship of a beginning and forever in luke skywalker heart.

This movie display a lot of convention a movie should contain , as i would give this movie a solid 8.3 out of 10 because George lucus show us the story line clearly and define each character and there roles , he also breaks the stereotype of a Star wars film of just being placed in space. Overall this Star wars : Return of the Jedi bring a different flavor to the movie industry.

Mise-En-Scene

The task we were assigned to do was ,to take four camera shot to define four different scenario , there were gangster , action , teen romance and thriller, what we had to include was a thought of lighting , props , set and the era within the shot of the scenario. Down below all 4 shot are show in there raw form:

Gangster

Teen Romance

Action

Thriller

The Best Shot 

Gangster

Adulthood (2008 movie)

I believe that this was a successful shot of the scenario of "gangster" as the Mise-En-Scene was define. as the costume was denoted as dark and non reveling to the audience , this connoted a costume as a character of this shot would were in this situation. The location of the set is also denoted as it is be hide a building , as this connotes a normal stereotype would hang out. Also the era is denoted as it is in the evening where these two character are meeting which connotes that a situation is gradually going to turn dark. Also the camera angle define authority of the characters in the shot. Overall this shot describe the scenario of gangster. This shot is related to the movie adulthood as it is a English gangster dram movie

The Worst Shot

Action

The Green Hornet

This was the least successful shot we took of the scenario of "action" as the Mise-En-Scene was not up to the scenario. As the background should have action in to connotes that there is something dramatic is going on . as this shot does not connotes action due to the location of the set . Also the costume of the character does not connotes that this is actions it goes back to the scenario of gangster because of the customer . As the Green Hornet shown action denoted in the background as there is a explosion , also the costume of the character define seriousness and authority also the ear of this shot describe that it is set in a different time.
