Feedback for 'Million Dollar Punch (Re-Make)'

Feedback

Ø Title sequence are strangely ordered e.g: actors and camera crew are mixed up to create no order.

Ø The Overall filming of it gives out more of a professional look about it than the last one.

Ø The fight scenes have been focused on more therefore making a more realistic view of the fight

Ø A small part of the music stops and letting the fluent movement of the music break.

Ø  Black & White suites the movie really, gives out an emotional edge that fighting films usually give out.

Ø The text at the start goes a bit too fast, therefore making it hard for the audience to take in.

Ø Looks like a British film, in terms of rough edged action to give out the british feel of other British fighting films.

Ø When the first character was introduced, it seemed not normal as he was putting tape on in a living room, rather than in gym.

Ø Make the blood more clear to see, as the audience may not no what it is. Try to add more 'bloody' texture to it, so looks more realistic.


We shall take this into consideration for our next extended version of this. To answer some of the feedback we shall note below...


1. How we made it look more 'professional'?
We made it more professional as we took in all the feedback from our first draft we did and improved upon our mistakes. We also added more punches as we felt that the previous 'punching scenes' were not up to the realistic standards that we were hoping for.


2.The reason for the 'music stumbling'?
The music stumbles as we had some technical problems with our music software. Rudi try to amend this but it did not work. In future filming projects we shall fix this more in advance next time.


3.Why the 'First character was introduced in a living room'?
We introduced the first character in a living room as it showed that he, as character is rich with money and that the other character is poor and cannot afford decent shelter. So maybe next time the audience can take that into consideration.

Rocky III. Questions and Feedback

Questions:
these are the questions im going to be asking the class about the first two minutes of Rocky III

1. What impressions does this give of the person that has the belt?
2. The fighting in this scene is slow, do you think this is effective and why?

Feedback:
1. The belt shows a sense of power and proess from the boxer who owns it.
2. The slow camera effects gives out an impression of tiredness from the boxers and also shows the puches clearly, but can easily see that the puches are fakely done.

We will use this feedback to help us make our movie by using props and different ways to use the camera to make our movie look better with the effects

Main Film Pitch Feedback

1. How are we going to show and set a fight scene?

• Use of dark background then light up a certain area to create a spotlight.
• Use of decent location.
• Important to other films, to get an expierience of how to set a fight scene.

2. How are you going to start the film?

• We were thinking of starting the film with flasback of the fighting event, to show the story in a short view.
• Have text, to brief the audiece on what is going to happen. But make sure the text is a suitable size and font.
• Rather than have text have a voice over explaining what is about to happen, then opening scene shows 'the fight'.

3. How are we going to do the make- up?

• Try to go on youtube. You can find make-up turtorials on there.
• Group member know contacts for make-up artists.
