8. Overall, I think that my film is good, however
there are a couple improvements that I need to
make.
Some of the narration I need to redo because
unfortunately, the voiceover person had a cold for
some of it therefore I will need to redo this when
he is better.
I will also add my studio logo at the beginning of
the film so that it looks more professional.
However, I do think I have achieved what I set
out to do.
I wanted to take inspiration from Wes Anderson’s
films like ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’, so I
decided to put the film into a square frame and I
think this works well.
I also think that the music works well with the
visuals and storyline as I was aiming for a slightly
odd kind of film but also upbeat and I think I have
found the right music that portrays this nicely.
I think that to the audience my film might have
been a bit confusing and they wouldn’t get the
storyline, so I decided to add a section at the end
that explains to hopefully help.
• Re-record parts of narration that are too
quiet.
• Add studio logo at beginning.
• Change sound balance on chapter 3 and
narration.
