Week 10-Farzin
Week 10: Role in the group
When it came to picking our roles in the group, we all had a look at our individual strengths and weaknesses when it came to doing the work. Overall, I came to picking my own role as a director which I really enjoyed. In order to find out more about my individual role, I did some research and found out more about famous directors in the British film industry as well as around the world. I also looked at everything which a director does, this helped me to make my role as a director even stronger towards the group. After doing some research, I ended up making a prezi about my role as a director. My role as a director was directing each scene of the film opening sequence and directing the cast and film crew on what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. For example because Anbish was our camera man, I had to tell him what type of shots to get for each scene. I also had to tell the characters on what they need to do in each scene which made it easier for them to act and look natural on camera. Even though I was only a director for our film opening sequence, I really enjoyed my role in the group and I hope to land the role of director whether its for our coursework or even in the film industry.

Week 10
Role in the group
As a group, we all had different individual strengths and weaknesses. Since I did media last year and I had the experience on taking videos so the group decided that I should be a camera man. In order to know more about my role, I had to research on how to improve my camera skills. To improve I had to watch videos on Youtube and also do a test shots so that I don't make many mistake while shooting. I think researching helped me because I leant new stuff such as white balance and how to make the camera steady.
Evelina Week 10
Week 10- Role in the group
This week we gave each other roles to have during the filming processes, so then our group can b organised. My role in the group was the editor, where I had to take the clips filmed and put them together to make the story come alive. Before I take the role of a editor I did some research to find what my job is and what I have to know. At first I though this can't be that hard, but when it came to be sitting in front of premier pro for the first time; I was lost. I did not know how to edit and spend the first 40 min finding out that things do and where everything is. After the magical 40 min of exploring I figure everything out and started to put the film opening together.
When I finish my first rough cut, we showed it to the class to get feed back, and every one said that it looked like a music video so I decided to change the whole thing, my teacher did not like the idea but I did not know what else to do. When I changed it everyone that saw it said it was way better then the first one and that we should us this on. After finishing editing the last cut of the film opening I realised there were quite a few differences to the original shot list as it did not link to the clip. This taught me that spending longer planning on the storyboard and shot list will help to achieve better results in a quicker time,
The editing experience was great and stressful at the same time, but I think I have achieved good results and that the film opening looks great for someone that did not know how to edit of the start of 2015.

Institution- Henali
After researching different distribution companies
and different teen drama films, we finally decided that the company that will
distribute our film is Hanway Films. We had many issues figuring out what distribution
company to choose as there were quite a few that made teen drama films. To
solve this issue, we tried to cut it down a bit more by thinking about the
types of teen drama films that could be made for e.g. bullying, relationship,
drugs etc. This made it easier for us to decide on the distribution company as
the topics broke it down for us. This distribution company fits in well with
what we are doing as our film is based on drugs, school and relationship. In addition
to this, we looked at the different types of films Hanway films made and tried to
match them with our story. For example, the setting of our film is based in the
school which also matched the setting of the films made by Hanway Films. Hanway Films is an independent company that distributes it's films. This was the major reason we decided to use Hanway Films as our distribution company. As a group we felt that Universal, Warner Bros will not be suitable for our film as they are well known distribution companies that produce and distribute high budget films. We as a group hope our film becomes well known for the
audience to remember.
