Self and Peer assessment (Analysis of OTS 'JackHammer')

This is an analysis, of the OTS of 'JackHammer', from; the project leader, another group's participant and the 'JackHammer' film crew. Questions include; "Using a variety of shot distance as appropriate?" & "Using titles effectively, if appropriate?" Two test audiences have analysed this along with the film crew.

The OTS now has the final touches made, and the post - production team has completely finished editing. The edited being the following; sound, video filtering, sound dubbing, etc... And also, is now ready to be transferred to another data file and uploaded. The storyboard artist has remade the storyboard entirely, now of which is much more accurate than the original.
Aims are to completely verify that the OTS is finished and ready to be burned to disc.

Production Meeting - 02/04/12

The film now has almost been completely edited, and all footage now uploaded. Through post-production, the team has combined foleyed sound effects, and commonly used techniques by other Film Noir presentations (such as: black & white filters, anti-hero character conventions, etc...).
Aims will now be to complete any and all editing before the beginning of summer term. After that, to complete the animatics and small improvements of the storyboard (which the storyboard artist will change). And during the break, to blog more information about our Film Noir's OTS.

Production Meeting - 25/03/12

The film crew, actors/actresses produced an opening title sequence which visually matched the storyboard images, but differed by multiple scenes and characterisation. The camera man also had more expertise than the last, now making every scene steadily shot and producing less camera shake. However, we didn't manage to record any scenes which involved special lighting effects.
Aims are to edit the footage ASAP, and to introduce a focus group which of who will analyse and give their personal interpratations. The team which designed the storyboard, will also edit that, and the animatic which shortly defines the OTS.

Production Meeting - 21/03/2012

Today the film crew has taken its samples of available footage, and sampled edited videos of the projected Neo Noir. Most shots do not show continuity, and may have to be filmed again for noticeable continuous film.
The aims for the film crew are to continue filming, likely finishing before the end of the week, and after to edit the footage to seem continuous and match the conventions/standards of a Film Noir.

Production Meeting - 15/03/12

Today, the producers and actors began to film the OTS, closely based upon the story-boarding and script, with minor scenes filmed and shots relatively close to the original images portrayed.
The aims for continuing will be to film later throughout the days with extra members of the team, and possibly with more aids. And to finish constructing the animatic, revolving from the storyboard, but with less necessity.
