comments about the film

My general feedback from the class was that i needed to put a bit more into the chess mis-en-scene by possibly making it a bit more of a formal occasion to fit with the championship final. There were suggestions on making Sam our presenter wearing a suit as streotypically presenters of sports programmes will be wearing formal clothing such as blazers, shirts and ties. Plus there were recomendations to change the background to make it plainer without the books in the background and make it look more like the occasion itself, with a possible use of a crowd to make it seem a popular event with the audience, rather than just a quiet library.

filming progress

I finally finished all of my filming on sunday the 20th of march. I had various difficulties along the way hence my lateness for completing it. This has been mainly down to my choice of actors, a few have seemed to let me down in the past so i restricted the amount of people involved in my opening just so i could finish it. I therefore restricted it down to 7 actors overall, with 4 on the chess scene and 3 on the italian scene. With this sudden choice i was able to complete it all on time and made it easier for myself overall. My chess scene was filmed in the LRC at school as this was the easiest place to film a chess scene in where we have our library. I filmed the italian scene at my house as it was an easy place to alter into an italian university, i made a plaque to represent that its a uni and i changed my room so that it looked similar to a dormitory, overall i felt i did an ok job with my mis-en-scene. I also made ben who was playing the headmaster wear a suit as its stereotypical of a headmaster to be wearing posh, formal clothing.

Delay in filming

Again we have had to delay our filming due to our choice of location needing to be booked in advance. We have therefore acted upon this by booking a date in advance to next week so we can have the location all to ourselves. That way we cannot be disturbed by outside interferences from other students.

Update on filming progress

At the moment in my filming progress i have had personal difficulties as my characters used for my film have struggled to be available for filming days. I feel i have demanded too much from my actors as i have decided i need 10 people for filming. For this reason alone i have decided i need to change my opening sequence so i can get the opening done in time for my deadline and so i can have a more realistic chance of completing it in general. I have decided to make the opening involve less characters just simply so i can complete it. Plus i can still make it fit perfectly into my film.

Institutions

music in my genre

The music used in the genre i aim to replicate is over the top on the dramatic and tense parts of the film. When the bad guys are in the film, the music becomes all edgy and loud which would signify White Goodman's personality and his arrogance and competitiveness is clear to spot by the audience. Whereas Peter La Fleur has a softer and calmer tone of music in the film which also portrays his personality but also signifies that the good guys are no hopers and arent really expected of alot, but however conventionally the no hopers always seem to triumph in the end of a comedy film.
