2. First Film’s Cool
At the beginning of the year we had professional industry
mentors to help us throughout our production work.
Every session we got professional help and feedback.
The first film’s cool session was with Kate Hardie who
is an actress, director and writer. The feedback we
had gotten from her from our very first film’s cool
session was to be imaginative and explore ideas that
mean something to us and develop that into a story.
This was so our audience can identify with our
characters. This session gave us a starter of what
path we wanted our production to go. This was so our
audience can identify with our characters.
3. Second Film’s Cool
The second film’s cool session was with another industry
professional called Jesse O'Mahoney he is a industry
profressional screenwriter. He wrote scripts for
eastenders and hollyoaks.He was really important in
showing how we could improve and develop our
scripts and structuring them in the right way. A piece
of feedback that was really important that Jesse
O’Mahoney gave to us was that character profile was
very important in distinguishing the personality of the
character, the home life issues, their love life and their
appearance.
4. Third Film’s Cool
The third film’s cool session was Christine Blundell’s
make-up academy. This session was to show us how
to use make-up for the killings of our slasher horror
trailers. This session taught us how to use home
product to make deaths seem real. Examples of the
home products are red food colouring, pritt stick,
eyeshadow and syrup. This made the cuttings look
realistic and gruesome so those people who enjoy
watching horror slasher movies or trailers would fall for
the make-up used. This session was very fun and
intriguing because it was very interactive.
5. Fourth Film’s Cool
The fourth Film's Cool session was with Ross Currans who is another
industry professional who directs shows such as masterchef. Also
Alec who is an upcoming industry professional. The feedback we
got from Ross Currans was to help us develop our scenes and make
them stronger so that the audience will understand them. An
example of this is the dancing scene. This was to let people know
that a graduation party was about to take part. Ross told us to
capture shots that were close up to make the party scene look as if
we had a lot of people This was very helpful because we took a
sequence of people dancing long shot and the dance floor looked
spacious. The feedback Alec gave us was really constructive. For
instance he recommended that we should experiment with the
lighting in our scenes, also to capture shots that we want in our
production work in different angles.
6. Fifth Film’s Cool
This session was with Matt who is currently studying
graphics. He helped us how to use after effect in a
constructive way. He also showed us how to animate
our production logo in which we done which was good
for us to use in our production work.
7. Final Film’s Cool
The final film’s cool session we had was carried out by
Christine Blundell, Alec and Matt. This session was to clear
up on the finishing touches such as the type of music and
tempo we would use in our trailer, cutting down some shots
because they were too long and switching around some
scenes to make the trailer flow a lot more better. Alongside
with positive feedback such as great use of make-up from
Christine Blundell.
