Construction
· Are your shots steady? Did you use a tripod?
Yes we think our shots are pretty much steady because the camera didn’t really need to be moved, but yes we did use a tripod just to make sure that the shot was 100% steady and didn’t shake.

· Did you frame/compose your shots carefully?
Yes we took great consideration into our shot frames as we took into account the background noise and because we was in a busy public place we made sure we was allowed to film and that people would not get in the shot, we took shot the clips 4/5 times just to make sure they were perfect.

· Have you used a variety of shot distances?
Yes we did use different shot distances and various angles to shoot from. We also used different techniques such as over shoulder shot and other shots to create tension and other various feelings on the reader.

· Was the material you shot appropriate for the brief and the intended style/genre of your
film?
Yes we made sure the environment and clothes would fit into the character and modern day environment that we planned for. We thought about the dress of our actors so that it would fit and go with the idea of an escape convict.

· How did you pay attention to mise-en-scene? (e.g. lighting, objects, setting, costumes, performance etc.)
We made sure that the surroundings were well lit when filming, we took various takes to make sure the performance of the acting was suitable and realistic, also we made sure there was nothing in the way of the shot so the film was clear to watch.

· How did you edit your film so that meaning is apparent to the viewer?
We used various transitions and added credits to display the title of the film and the actor’s whit in it. We used a haze technique which we used to show a flash back I feel this was very effective.

· Did you use any shot transitions other than standard cuts? If so, were they effective?
Yes we used a transition, we used the haze transition and yes it was very effective as when the Fugitive (Ellis Trutwein) has a flashback, it is clear to the audience about what is going on.

· Did you use any visual or audio effects? Were they successful?
Yes we did use visual effects to adjust the brightness so the film was clearer and understandable, I think this was successful because it looked realistic and doesn’t look like it got added in.

· Were you happy with your use of sound (including dialogue) in your film?
Yes the voice of the actors was clear enough to hear and understand, there wasn’t a lot of dialogue in our film though but when there was it was thought about dearly so that we could capture the drama and mystery we was going for.

· What music did you use and where did it come from?
We used copyright free music, so it could be used in the film properly without any issues, also we made sure the music that we used did fit in and was appropriate with the film.

· What titles did you use? How did you create them?
We used titles and credits to show who was involved in the film, who helped out and who did what in the film and what the film was about, and what the film is called.

Film Evaluation

Evaluation
· In what ways does your film use, develop or challenge the forms and conventions of existing films, such as the ones you were influenced by?
I think our film develops the prison escape scene from Death Race (the film that influenced us), we based our film on the beginning escape scene from Death Race, and we extended the idea though so there’s more to the film. We used a basic idea and personalised it and created a story around it that is new and will appeal to the younger audience of today.

· How does your film represent particular social groups?
I think our film represents a modern age and shows a social group of the younger generation it features a wrongly accused man and his murdered wife, we used teenage actors (Tom Morgan and Callum price) the use of younger actors portrays the young nature of our film which should appeal to our teenage audience which we have set out to attract.

· What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
We think our film will get distributed by a low budget British film institution, such as The London Film Production because of the nature of our film. Our film is a low budget films that represents the youth of today and has no special effects or out sounding sound acceleration.

· Who would be the audience for your film?
The audience for our film will be a youthful audience who enjoy low budget, realistic films that the viewer can relate to, it has an interesting and gripping storyline involving acting and drama and an element of mystery.

· How did you attract/address your audience?
We attracted our audience by using younger actors which the viewers can relate to give our film a sense of realism and teenage social background.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this project?
Through our time of making and planning our film, we learnt how to use a camera effectively and correctly and how to edit clips, using transition and various effects, we also learnt how to put clips together so to create a finished film. Along with this, we learnt how to make a blog that looks appealing and how to update it.

· Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the main task?
We feel that we have progressed in film making in general, we were able to make a film that looked realistic and successful and that appeal to our audience. We planned it using storyboards and followed them which we did not do in our preliminary tasks. We have learnt how to time our work better and how to film in appropriate settings with little wind and good conditions so that our film looks and sounds professional.

· How did you create the electronic evaluation for your film?
`We are in the process of finishing are electronic evaluation but before hand we had planned it thoroughly.
