What Would I Do Differently?
By Jackson Davis
Film
• I like producing the film
• I am a perfectionist, I like things to be 100% perfect if possible, that’s
why my work always takes me a long time
• However, in some cases this means that the workflow gets slowed
down, which isn’t ideal when working towards a deadline
• There are a couple of bits in the film that I would definitely improve
if I could
Visual Effects Shots
• For the most part, they went very well
• When showing to audiences, I reviewed a few comments about
how good the shop fronts and so on looked
• This is great, which meant that the bits that I were worried about,
people didn’t notice
• In some cases the masking was a bit sloppy and not 100% how I
would like it, but I can’t spend 20 hours doing one shot, otherwise
the whole process would be slowed down
• So I had to bring it to a point where it was ‘good enough’, which in
reality, people thought it was the full standard
Outfits
• We had zero budget
• No money to buys proper outfits or costumes
• If we were to go back, I would probably suggest investing a little bit
into proper outfits
• For example, we maybe could have got some better coats, suit
jackets, hats and so on
• The clothes that Dolores is wearing in the shop scene, may have
been considered ‘too modern’ due to the style and length
Setting
• Obviously if I had the budget, I would fly to America and film in
some of the best locations that I could find
• However, we dealt with what we had
• Transport was a little bit of issue and therefore, we did really get to
explore many filming locations
• Maybe we could do a better job of location scouting
Poster
• The poster is good overall
• It fits the style of the film
• Given the traditional kind of poster, it is a little different
• Maybe there are a couple of things that I would have liked to have
done with a little more time
Painted Style
• I didn’t have a huge amount of time for the poster
• If I had a little more time to spend on it, I probably would have tried
to recreate the painted style of poster, like the one for Double
Indemnity
• I probably would have replicated the effect using my graphics tablet
and drawing straight into Photoshop, rather than painting in the
conventional sense
• This is not to say I’m unhappy with the poster that I have produced,
I would have just liked a go at replicating that other style
Review Page
• The review page is another ancillary production piece
• David mainly took care of this piece
• He made it in publisher and did a nice job overall of setting it out
• He wrote the article which is quite fair and critical
• The layout that he has used is very good, It is set out in columns
like a conventional review page
Images
• Some of the images on the review page are stretched
• Its not a huge deal, but it bugs me a little
• I can see that he has done it to make the text flow better, but it
could have been done a little less destructively
Typefaces
• He could have used “Sierra Madre” for the title of the page
• This is the same font used in the titles and the poster
• I think this would help it to coordinate better with the other pieces
Rating and Facts
• A little box before the body of the article with the editors rating and
a few facts about the film could have been added to split up the
layout a bit
• Not essential, but I think it’s a nice addition and works well
Overall
• I am very very happy with the outcome of this entire coursework
production
• I think we have produced a really good effort at all 3 tasks and I
think that coordinate very well with each other
• There are only a couple of things that I would change or tweak, but
that is only natural when constructing a large scale production over
a number of months
• I have also really enjoyed working and replicating the Film Noir style
as a whole, It has been a learning curve as well as an interest
