Title Of Our Film "BREAK EVEN"

The Title of our film is ''Break Even'', We thought this perticular name would be relevent as the storyline behind the title is about a man who is in two minds, he almost has a split personality thats where the idea for the word ''Break'' came in this reprisent that divide in his mind and the fact he is trying to Break free almoast trying to escape his own life, this is mainly shown by the exsperession and charictoristic's of the actor in the opening and also the word ''Even'' was inserted as we thought theese to words together roll of the touge and compliment each other also the fact that a even amout off effort and work was contributed thourgh out the making of the opening by each of us, we though we should include the word ''Even''. it also represents how even though he has broken the stereotype he is still trying to break away from the past momeries and problems in his life and because he does not want things to unbalanced he wants to break free from his imiganition, dreams and memories but wants things to be evenly balanced out.

Here is the opening to our finished clip..

Directors comments

This is the directors commentary talking through why we used certain camera shots and editing skills.

The Cast

Cast is important especially if you are trying to get a message across in you're film and this needs to be shown thorough expression and emotion which will be portreyed by the actor/actress.
Derrick Afriyie was our main and only member of cast as the film is based around him. the reason we chose to put him as the star is because we each thought we would play a crtain role and stick to our strongest abilities, and seen as Derrick is a strong actor and likes to be the centre of attention we based the film around him.

Three Main Location Shots

These are our three main locations and we had to think very carefully about all three of these as when we went to look at the locations we ecountered a few problems. The first location was set in an office and because one of our parents is a teacher we did not have a problem with accessing this location as the times were very negociable but the problem occured with the second and third location. The second location was set in town and this location was difficult as it was hard to find a quiet spot to film in where we were not going to be asked to moved by people passing by and shop owners but eventually we managed to find a spot near the river and some back streets which helped a great deal as not may cars came donw the street and the stairs leading up to the river were pratically empty. The third location was the hardest as it was on a bike path located in Burnage and this bike path is very popular so people were riding bikes up and down all the time and also walking their dogs and jogging. we also struggled to get good lighting on the bike path as the bridge was in an akward place and so the sun reflected too strongly on to the camera. However, with good co-operation and preperation we managed to time out sunset accurately and managed to film when people were not there as much.

Interview

Here we interviewed some pupils from loreto college and asked them there oppinions on the video and this was so that we could gain honest opinions on our work and see if we have targeted our target audience and been successful in doing so. we also did this because we wanted to see if we had given off the right vibe that we wanted to. we also made sure that we included someone that had not watched the video before and so we could get an honest opinion from someone that did not know us at all. Over all we feel that we was successful, as we gain posative feed back and generally everyone liked the video and all round we gained good comments . This also helped us see who else our target audience was, as when we were trying to pinpoint and choose our target audeince we were not too sure if it would definitly appeal to those perticular people as we tried to not be stereotypical and individual and we were not too sure if we would be able to pull this off but the outcome was good as many students found it highly interesting.
