Evaluation of the film Why?

   There are many positive parts of the film. One of them being a good narrative that surrounds the film. The film is based on a relationship and explores the two emotions of love and jealousy. The narrative is also quite easy to follow, which was hard to achieve considering the film is a silent film. There is a sense of the narrative having an easy flow. There are no abrupt changes, the transitions from any changes in the storyline. We have used a range of  shots such a point of view shot  a back shot. There are also uses of close ups and mid shots, allowing the audience to see what the characters are feeling based on expression and body language.

    On the other hand, there are a few problems with the film. The steadiness of the camera is not what was expected, making the film look unprofessional. Also, there was a technical problem that caused one of the shots to be smaller than the fame, making it look out of place and unprofessional again. The steadiness of the camera whilst filming could easily be improved next time as we will use a tripod to steady the camera.

A Review Of The Film ‘Seven’ Starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman

    After watching a multitude of films over the summer, I have come to the conclusion that this 90s crime thriller is the best film to have watched. This is for many reasons, like the unique character development that progresses throughout, the ever unwinding story line and the ambiance of the film.     The first thing that caught my attention when watching the film was of the relationship development between the two protagonists, Detective Mills and Detective Somerset. At the beginning of the film the audience is lead to believe that this pairing is initially not going to work with Detective Mills being very unorganised and dazed by the busy atmosphere of New York, as seen when he bumps into a woman on the bustle of the streets. On the other hand, detective Somerset is calm and collected whilst talking to his partner and walking the streets. This can be interpreted as a reflection of the experience both detectives have by working in the police force. This can also create preconce

Problems I can encounter creating the screenplay

One particular problem that comes to the forefront of the screenplay is the genre of the film. With the film being a film noir, the characters in the storyboard may be dressed appropriately, but he location will look too modern for my liking. One way I could is this problem would be to change the genre to Neo noir, like ‘Blade Runner’. Another problem i have faced is with the script is the inclusion of the typical conventions of film noir, for example a voice over of the trouble protagonist. i have used a femme fatale and described shots to be with typical dark and wet weather, however the most challenging part of the script was to include a voiceover. A reason for this would be that I am finding it hard to include such a thing. The voice over is there to provide extra information for the passive audiences, however, being an active viewer, personally I’d like to use the voiceover in a way that allows the audience to be able to see the inner thoughts and feelings of the protagonist.
