Individual Evaluation - 6 minute challenge

6minute Challenge

How easy was it to come up with an idea?

Location and props are what we first discussed when trying to come up with an idea. After we gathered our 'random article' for a title which was ''Paper'd Up'', we all took this and gathered our own individual ideas to come up with an overall idea.

Coming up with the genre was also closely aided through our random article, the look and feel of paper'd up gives a juvenile tone giving us an urban crime drama. As a group, I felt that we came together well in this decision.

How easy was it to decide on a title sequence with your idea?

coming up with a title sequence proved to be the most challenging aspect of this task for our group. We took our focused genre and aimed to work around this. Urban crime drama, we all had an image in our heads which again came together to build the plot. Once we worked and tweaked this the rest of the task was straightforward for us. We had gathered 10 shot types very well.

Shot types:

1. Wide shot of school - to establish the scene and setting so that audience would be aware of location to gather
2.  the tone and possible genre of 'film'. Also when young boy checks his timetable.
3. Over the shoulder shot- to show the checking of the time 
4. table to put the audience into his shoes and start to feel a relationship with the main character.
5. Long shot- boy walking out of school.
6. Extreme closeup- boy putting earphones in ear, song which is related to title is played
7. Long shot - boy walking into an estate.
8. Closeup- boys phone rings.
9. Midshot- boy meets the person who he had previously arranged to deliver drugs to.
10. Medium Closeup- transition into him hiding money at the location. (post office)

How successful was our idea?

Overall our idea was very successful, as a group, we worked very well with our individual ideas and thoughts. We even considered using this idea for our final title sequence. This is based on the massive enthusiasm towards this idea and task. It would be interesting to see this change possibly happen.
