Overall, we are very happy with our feedback and feel as if our filming went very well. We got better feedback than we expected. The small things that we were worried about people picking out didn't end up being highlighted.
If we were to do it again we would use the tripod more often in order to have a steady shot. As well as this, we would plan better so when the actual shooting times comes around we are very much more organized. this will give us more time filming, and less time improvising what we want to happen throughout our scenes.

feedback
group 65 - 1. When needed the steadiness of the shot was very good.
2. The framming of the shot was to an average standard.
3. Their was a few different shots used in this and the usage of a few particular shots helped make the quality of the film improve especially the use of the close ups.
4. The shooting of the material wasn't appropriate to the task as it wasn't really an opening scene.
5. There was no mise-en-scene to a high a standard.
6. The editing makes the open scene a lot better as the part where the clip slows down and speeds back up was truly enjoyable and the bit of editing where it seems one of the characters was knocked out.

the first major problem is that there are things in the scene that shouldn't be there, for example we see the tripod in numerous places and we also character who should somewhere else just in the background. The handheld in the forest was really good, good use of point of view, however in the library you should have used a tripod, we could see it in the background and the shots were quite shakey. Mise-en-scene is quite effective, the teacher character is what you might expect the character to look/sound like. the panning in the carpark scene was quite smooth but the slow motion was a bit too slow and confusing.
Group 63:
The first problem which we identified was that the tripod was left in one of the shots. Also there are a lot of unneccessary handheld shots. When they ask the teacher about the lines he replies with an answer which doesnt make sense ( this would confuse young children). When one of the characters fell over, it was comical however the slow motion was dragged out a little bit and may have resulted in children becoming bored. We thought that the sound effects worked well. and we liked the camera shot of the teacher walking and being filmed through a bookshelf. Also the characters are sometimes in the wrong places for each shot (e.g when in the forest martin is standing on one side of george and in the next shot he is on the other side).
Group 62
1) Good use of handheld camera shots.Eg. when they were running.
2) They included correct elements.
3) they used a high variety of shots, e.g. in the libary.
4) They used suitable material for the taste, which is good for kids
5) The costume was not suitable for the target audience as the trousers were too low for a young age!!!! However the costume for Tyler in the library was very well & u suited u tyler ;) jokes
6) Editing was thought about carefully
7) transitions were limited, but worked with clip
8) Sound track fitted in with images e.g slow mo
9) Credits could've been at the beginning as it looked like it was the end of the film

Group 66's Review
Camera in the library scene was unsteady. Over the shoulder shot is an example of this. Where appropriate the hand held camera worked well, such as the chase scenes of the boys running.
The framing of shots all seemed to be well done. The variety of shots used made the film more interesting and created the sense of realism and made clear which characters had more power than others, e.g. the low angled shot on the teacher.

Pictures of similar scenes
The beginning forest scene of jumanji is what inspired our ideas for our childrens movie. This shot is from the opening sequence of jumanji (rated PG), which is similar to the start of our opening sequence as it portrays the unknown and gives a scary beginning for the audience.

Changes made to filming
We have made various changes and adaptations to our original shotlist as we started our filming. The content has differed slightly, as well as some camera angles and music.
Storyline:
We decided to add in a detention scene which was introduced by credits to explain that it is the next day. it begins straight away based in a classroom where the teacher has caught two of the students coming into school late. We have a low angled shot pointing up at the teacher (Tyler) to show his dominance and power over the students.
We also decided to delete the role of the narrator as we thought it was clear enough to the audience who the each of the characters were, and it would have been more complicated and difficult when it came to editing.
In the original story plot we have the third friend come out from behind a tree, however instead we changed it so that he was involved in the drama whilst chasing George through the forest to add to the intensity.
Camera Angles:
The first change we made to our camera angle shots came fairly early within the sequence. We decided to change the low angle shot of dan hiding behind a tree, to an over the shoulder shot instead. This gives the audience an oppertunity to see the change which is taking place.
Secondly, we abandoned the arial shot, replacing it with a switch between pan, and over the shoulder to show Dan looking upon martin and George, whilst they each run. This emphazises the chase, building suspense.
We have also replaced the panning shot of our friends and stereo typed teacher, instead switching to a next day scene taking place in a detention.
throughout the detention we have included various different camera angles which we haven't wrote about. This is because we didn't plan this scene, instead improvised it to add a better scene towards the end of our opening.
We think that when people view our scene, they will find our humour scenes quite funny. Also, we all agree people will find our music behind the opening entertaining, and see it matches our film.
There is one thing we agree on people will deduce from watching our opening. We think it comes across quite adult like, not entirely seeming like a children's film opening.
