Jump suit film

Todays lesson we had to use what we had learn from the last 6 weeks and make a film in are group. We did have a little bit of trouble off coming up with a idea cause it involved Aaron wearing a jump suit and walking around but when we started to record it we notices that there wasn't much to do so we came up with different ideas that didn't work but we finally came up  with Aaron trying to catch a bus but missing it.

It started from the other college building across from the main building on the top floor, Paige was the camera person so she did most of the recording for this film. First scene was recoding from the top floor as Aaron run down the stair up to the point where we couldn't see him. Then we got to the ground floor where we got the side shot of him coming of the stairs and the the door where he leaves. We did another wide shoot from outside the door so we could see him running out the door.

I think my favourite shot was where Aaron is going down the stairs I like the height view of the shot where Aaron is going down the stairs I think the shot from the ground floor could have been a bit better, maybe angled higher so we could see Aaron face.

Outside we did a side shot of him running across the road.  We did two wide behind shot of him running along and towards the building. The last two shots was of Aaron running towards the other entries doors not the main entries. and another side shot of him waiting for the doors to reopen.

I did like the shot with Aaron running through the open gates cause it's steady and a good angle. I think the camera shot for Aaron running towards the build was a bit shaky but it still looked good.

Inside the main building we had lots of different shots mostly wide, behind of him running. The funny part I think was when Aaron helped closed the doors faster then turned and did the thumbs up which I don't think wasn't part of the film but just something he did, But I though t it was funny and I though that it went well with the scene.

The scene where the camera is following him from behind (over-shoulder, shot) i think is my favourite, I think Paige did a good job of recording that scene.

I think the scene with the bus driving passed was a good shot, maybe it could have done without the water droplets on the lens but still a good shot of the bus driving pass. The scene with Aaron running after the bus because he had missed it was funny and a good wide shot.

It was fun making it, It was our first idea so it was near the end we ended up coming up with him running to catch the bus and I think it came out great and maybe if we had thought of it earlier we might have been able to make it better. When edited it I made it into a silent film with only the music in the background, there were sounds from the recording but i think it looked and sound better without because he's not talking in it and I don't think the film would have looked right with the background sounds of the outside and indoors of people talking.

The music is made by Kevin Macleod which I've used before. The music is free but as long as you credit him somewhere in the video or the description below which I did. I found his website from Brittyy44 who uses his music in her videos and I'm sure The haunting of Sunshine girls uses his music as well.

I think the music goes really well with the film I think it makes it more funnier. I was thinking about making it into a black and white film but when I did it, it didn't look right plus I think it's more funnier when you see the purple jump suit.

I am happy with my film, I think I could have came up with a better title and maybe I could off added text but I'm not sure if it would look right with the film, but other then that I think it look great.
