What do you think of our blog?
1. What do you particularly like about it? What's especially impressive?
What could be improved? What's missing or could be added?
2. Based on what you've read on the blog (and maybe seen in test screenings in class) what suggestions do you have regarding what we could do to make our Practical Production really successful?
What other things could we include in the production?
How should we go about filming any remaining scenes or editing the footage during post-production (+ suggestions for music, etc.)?

1. I think that the research that you've carried out on other films are really good, and i like the way that you've posted up some of the music videos etc that you may use in your practical production.
2. i think you could add more photographs/pictures of possible areas you are going to film/or have filmed at.
3. In your production i think you could vary camera angles and shots.
4. From watching the test screening on your production i thought that the camera was a bit too shakey and so you should use a tripod more often.
overall i look forward to seeing the end result!

1.What i really like about your blog are the colours you have chosen, it fits well with the title of your production, and makes all your colours stand out.
* What you can add in your blog are pictures of where you all have been out for filming as proof, it will also make your blog interesting to look at it.
*What you can improve on in your production is that get more shots such as, get shots of local areas :S and try to use your tripod.
Overall i wish you all the best and i cant wait to see the final thing good luck guys

1. I like the use of movies which fit the same genre as yours. Also, im intrigued by the contrast between the movies "You got served" and "Four Brothers". It is a unique bond which you have tried to combine into your narrative. I also think you have put effort into your research. I think that you should add some footage of your production so that we can know how far along you are with the filming.
2. I think that your filming needs to be a bit more concrete, you need to have a solid narrative so that your story can flow well. Also include a range of shots.

1. Your blog seems to be all up to date and you have included alot of information on other films will help you with the production alot! progress reports are good aswell ...
2. you could imporve it by including information on other things maybe showing footage of your production along with a detailed analysis...
3. try concentrating on including as many conventions as you can and avoid zoom ins and outs if u have any included...
GOOD LUCK!

hi well...
1.i think ur blogs quite gud its really detailed and alot of analysis and your also tellin us about what you have prepared for the following week...erm da posters give us an image which is anchored by the tex :S LOL erm yeh the colours could b a bit brighter cuz u cant c the ritin :D
2. i aint exactly seen ne of ur footage but from what ive read it reminds me of 8 mile..duno why :S. yeh sounds good
3. i duno.......
4. using sumthin no1s herd of like a small band or maybe sumthin ritten and sung by one of u lot wud b good cuz it will stand out and kinda b original and unique
kl ....zebra....a.k.a Zainab :D
I think your research was carried out well. Although I would like to see more research into the genre you're covering. Try to learn what conventions make it a success, and what lets it down.
In this case, editing would be your best option. Having dramatic, fast paced editing would create various enigmas which would make your production very interesting.
A variety of shots with quick straight cuts. Perhaps start out slow, then move into quick cuts?
Use instrumental tracks, as you wouldn't want the vocals to interrupt the voice over.

1.This blog is looking really good one thing i like in particular is the way you have recorded what you have done so far shows that you all are organised.
2.The research which you have done will be useful however i think you could add some more on what you have already produced so that you can get feedback on that
overall this is looking good and hopefully will be a great production
Neelema
ok ok basically u smashed it with the research and stuff and everything looks up 2 date!!
Add some photos and some footage of your work too make your blog look even better.
Over all looking good
Keep it up ladies...
DALJIT!
PAWAGWANNNNNNNN!!
* From what I’ve seen on the blog your production looks good, you’ve analysed trailers that would appeal to the target audience and posted up music videos/ also giving detailed progress reports.
* You could post up a few pictures and footage.
Keep up the good work:)
..neema
* Your blog looks good, you lot have done so much research on trailers which is good and will help you plan out yours, the blog seem update which is good stuff.
* As a group you lot haven’t really posted up any footage or pictures of your trailer. i think that you should post some footage up on your blog as we can comment on it giving you more ideas.
* From watching your test screening the shots that were taken were a bit too shaky, therefore you should use the tripod as this will enable you lot to get more steady shots.
* Overall, your blog looks good and keep the good work up good luck...

I really like the storline of the film as focuses on a range of audiences and sounds pretty interesting. Also the movies you've researched are really relavant to your production and will definately help you alot.
Make sure the shots in your trailer clearly convey the storyline and match the audience.
Try to give your trailer a really fast pace throughout but end it by shocking the audience somehow so that they remember it. O and give it some loud and upbeat music so it links to your story and matches the audience.
GOOD LUCK!

- 1) What I like most about your blog is the way that you have done some good research in to previous film trailers which would prove useful to your own trailer. Its also a good idea that you have inserted clips or images of the trailers that you have used so that you (and others) can refer back them easily if required. Also, like the plain black background as the seriousness of it goes well with the theme of your trailer and also enables whoever is reading your blog to be more focused on your actual work.
Possibly try and post up detailed plans of your scenes i.e. include shot types, second counts, lighting arrangement etc. Also try and make your progress reports more detailed by adding evaluations as this will help you when doing future filming/editing.
-2) What type of music is your protagonist trying to break through in? …. If for example it’s in the Indian music industry, use a British Indian voiceover to try and reflect that… might work. Also, it looks like your target audience is teenagers so make sure you use fast cuts and shots to try and appeal to the energy of a teen as well incorporating mtv style (fast editing).
Good luck with everything and well done…

1. There's potential in the production...i like the way you have shown your research..by uploading videos...try showing more
2. Show some of your work on the blog..any pics...any sort of progress...luks lyk u have as sundeep says...so post up pics of it
3. Make sure your shots are parallel to the music in the background..if u av dat element...try to be realistic..b professional...like use tripod
Gd lk guyzz!!!!

The research is really good as it helps the audience understand your work.
Try to make sure that your progress reports are detailed so you know yourself what you need to do, and how you can improve certain scenes.
You guys need to clarify the actual narrative of the production, so that in the production is aware of what is happening..

i think that the blog looks really nice with good details research and good analysis, i like the way that u included lot of videos and lot of pictures of trailers realated to ur topic. the topic is really good it is different form other trailers.
what u could add some of ur footage and some pictures on ur blog to show wat ur doing, like maybe the pictures of the actors.
for the post production, u can add parallel music to the type of music ur doing. and use trailer conventions, like close ups when filming the main actor etc...
good luck for the editing...

In general, I think your blog is really good as its up to date and it has all the videos from you tube that help make your point. I think the actual title is totally relevant and the fact that it has a double meaning is good as it keeps the audience thinking. Also, the analysis for the trailers is really detailed so well done.
I didn’t see the test screening because I wasn’t there but your idea seems interesting.
I think that you need to really consider the music though because your storyline is based on how the guy makes it to the top in the music industry- so I think the music you use in the trailer needs to be the most powerful and effective.
Experiment with different types of music- don’t just stick to RnB or Hiphop.
Also, use a variety of angles and shots.
Pardeep
Your blog looks neat. Analysis of the trailers is first class. Add some of your own footage which enables everyone to give more helpful feedback.
Use your tripod. The handheld camera spoilt a lot of your shots. Don't tell the story in your trailer, introduce it. Challenge stereotypes by basing your storyline on an individual who you would not normally associate with gun crime and drugs.
- Aman
i think that you lot have done some good research into the prodduction and used a good topic to focus on which will attract the target audience.You posted up some good work and this all relates to the media group this year which will make it easier for us to understand.
try not to fall into the traps of making the productions same as previous ones use some good shots and dilraj must have some good links so you could getgood interviews from them.
Good luck
Amrit
blog is looking wicked and your production seems to be very interesting. you've done a good amount of research!

looking good
keep up the good work!

*Your blog looks good, you can tell that you have clearly researched and looked at a lot of diferent texts to make your trailer look good..
*You have posted up information about what you have done and what you have to do to improve etc but maybe you should consider postingup some still images of your production? it will work well and you will receive feed back on how you ca improve etc..
*For post production, you should think about starting off you productuion with a voice over and then go onto a fast monatge sequence of different yet important shots..
Good luck with the blog and post production..
..*[ZaRa]*..
The research done is actually quite good, the music videos make your blog interesting and entertaining to look at. The analysis of the videos are really good.
However add more picss guyss it'll make your blog look even beter!! Also images of you filming would give others an idea of what you have done so far
Good luck with all!!

The research posted is very detailed and informative and all relevant to the narrative for your pratical production, such as the research on trailer analysis which will benefit your ideas. I like all the pictures and you tube links which make your blog more appealing and interesting.
To improve, you could maybe post up pictures of shots produced and locations in which you have filmed.
For post production a parallel sound track would suit ur production and use a variety of shots.
Valeria
1. You've done lots of research which i think's good...
2. I think puting up some clips of what you've filmed would have been good..
3. Definately use a slow, instrumental track when it comes to the post production stage!
Vishna
1. You've created a lively blog and analysed a range of relevant texts. The blog stands out well due to the range of fonts you've chosen and informs well about the documentary you are producing. I think to improve the blog you could add small extracts of what you've filmed so far.
2. Try to use a range of shots and effects. However avoid trying to make it look too fancy as this may lead to making the production look amateur.
Vivek
1. the reserch was presented and done pretty well. i like the presentation of your blog as well... lik the theme n everyfin.. it looks 'cool'. You could put more picks and stuff up...even put up ur story bord.
2. ummm just wana let you guys know make sure you have lots of shot...just incase u need them u dont wana go bk jus for a couple of shots... and try move away from typical conventions gangster conventions... unique trailer thou...keep on going bois!!
3. the music seems good... mayb try and pick a song that not all of us are familier with... and lik just use the instrumental of it...
...Hassan...
* looks good, you’ve got nuff detail and stuff specially the music vids etc..
* You could post up a few pictures and footage of either ur practical production or pics of scenes in ur production
overall i aint got nothing bad to say about ur production and it looks good
ant
what i like is that you've done your research and are upto date with it all.. the colours used make your blog seem interesting..
you can add more pictures to your blog and showing some of your footage..
overall it all looks good.. well done!
Radhika
1.i think your blog is catchy i like the colours..and the videos are kwl!! n cuz you lot are doing a trialer to do with music it fits in nicely!! (",)
2. i think more pictures of your work and you filming would be good (even though our blog doesnt have any)
3.keep your shots steady, and hold your shots for longer instead of panning and zooming in n out!!
4.i think that you lot need to use a tripod...seriously!! but i like your idea and cant wait t see it...
just keep on posting things up on da blog!!
Simran
alot of good research has been carried out by your group which is really good and i like the way that you have included the movie trailer along with it in order for us to see exactly what you are trying to analyse. i like how you have also added music videos which refers to the genre as it is about how a boy wants to make it big in the music industry.
try and add some videos or images of different locations where you are going to be filming and try and use a number of different camera angle shots. make sure to include montages as it is a trailer and have quick shots and cuts to make it more eye catching.
Keep up the good work and i cant wait to see your end product. good luck
Kunal
Your blog has alot of useful information in it. Your research has been done well...for arthouse movies as well as hollywood ones. I think that you've got so much more that you could add to your blog such as more images based on your own footage and maybe some moving texts which you could take off of youtube etc. But overall I think you've done well in your blog.
Farah
1)
your blog is looking good,the research you have carried out is done really good and in a lot of detiail. the vidoes and images put up is also looking good and gives the reader an idea of what your trailer will be about. i think you should add some pictures of where you have filmed.
2)
for post production fofrom reading your test screenings your camerwork needs to be improved use different angles and use tripod, also use fast pace along with fast cutz.
...Jasmit...
1. I think that your research is really strong and solid as it also contains lots of examples which can really help alot. By having such a variety including one of our exam topics 'Bullet Boy', ur knowledge and ideas will be strong. Also you have alot of progress reports showing that you are giving time, commitment and effort into your production.
2. You could maybe have pictures of you filming or maybe you could post up the footage you have so far.
3. More solid in terms of what are the roles of each of you, e.g. who is the main character of this tralier (and the film)
4. I think that the sound/music has to be right, more so because your production involves the main character working his way to the top of the music industry
Good Luck and wish u the best 4 the whole production! :)
Chintan
Your blog seems really interesting and detailed.
Your research is very informative the examples help understand what you are trying to achieve.
- good luck
Baldip
1. The research on trailers and other movies is really detailed and good.
2. Maybe you should post up pictures of possible locations or even scenes from movies which will ressemble yours.
3. With this kind of a movie i think you should use conventions that are used in bullet boy, make everything look natural but still entertaining, like a docusoap.
The research is a strong point about your blog. The embedded videos and photographs make the blog more interesting. You could use the videos within your documentary.
You could used dates within your titles to organise the blog.
I forgot this question but from the looks of everyone else's comments I think that you should use lots of shots..?
Nikki
i think that the research carried outon other film that relate to your genre are good. i would like to see some moving image research as well and practical production clips.
in your production i think you should use a tripod and steady shots also have longer shots so if footage is damage it doesn't matter.
