The document discusses the evaluation of a group film project called "The Crook." It is a crime drama. Originally the group planned the trailer as a mind map and decided it needed at least one chase scene to add excitement and suspense. Camera angles like over the shoulder shots were used to not reveal the killer while still showing the scene. Close ups of feet were used so no one knew the character was the killer. Research helped with ideas for the trailer and learning the target audience of ages 12 and up who would enjoy the action. Editing feedback suggested making titles longer to read and adding sound effects.

1. Evaluation
I am in a group with Brooke Marquer and Luke Smith. Our film is called
the crook and it is a crime drama. Originally we planned our trailer as a
group and did it in a mind map on inspiration. As a group we decided we
had to have at least 1 chase scene in it so it adds excitement and
suspense to the trailer so people would want to watch it.
Camera angles
We used an over shoulder shot because as it was only a trailer we didn’t
give away who was the killer to the audience but was still able to show
the scene.

2. I used a static camera because I wanted to show the characters running
away from the crime scene and it also shows the crime scenes
surrounding.
I used a close up of Brooke’s feet so no one knew she was the killer and it
made it look more effective also it emphasise the jump and makes it look
more exciting

3. This establishing shot helps the audience to establish where the film is set
and what surroundings are nearby.
Target audience
Our target audience is everyone over the age of 12 as the shootings and
general content would not be suitable for children under 12. This will
appeal to our audience as it is jammed packed with action so it will keep
people gripped and on the edge of their seats.
Titles
I got a bbcident of youtube and put it at the start of my trailer to make it
look more realistic and then the trailer looks like it’s linked to the bbc.
Also I used a sill title that spun in to add effect to the trailer and it
informs people of the actors in the film.

4. Research
My research helped me with my trailer as it gave me ideas of what to put
in my trailer and an idea of my target audience and what they like in
crime dramas.
Filming
The filming went well but I think I needed to use a tripod more to stop
the hands from shaking the camera
Editing
By looking at the feedback I got I think I needed to make the titles longer
so it gives people an opportunity to read it. Also I think I should of added
some sound effects especially when the gun was fired.
