Evaluation Activity 7
From the preliminary task as a group we learnt allot. I noticed that there is allot to creating a scene in a film let alone the entire film.
Not using a tripod to produce when trying to produce steady results will only result in confusing messages for the audience. Also the quick cuts and jittery camera movements we used annoyed audiences and prohibits viewer enjoyment. We made an error with not only continuity but the 180 degree rule and this caused allot of stress when it came to editing.
When it came to producing our two minute file for our final project I felt more confident with using shots to convey meanings and show character roles. An example of this is how we used the POV in 'None of THAT' compared to how we used it in 'King Of Spades'.
We also did many upon many of the same shots to ensure that when it came to editing we had the right shots. We were more switched on to the 180 degree rule and continuity errors after making mistakes previously and this helped greatly when it came to editing.

Evaluation Activity 6
Even though our film is only two minuets long I have learned ample amounts of useful skills that I shan't forget soon.
I believe the first skill I learnt in the process of create this film is how to use a Macintosh computer. Having barely any experience with the computers I found it difficult to use the computers but after a while I became accustomed to it's ins and out and I am now a comfortable Mac user but will always remain a PC.
I then learnt valuable editing skills along with Final Cut Pro experience.
I created a Blog for the first time using 'Blogger'.
Although I had had much experience using cameras previous to creating this film I hadn't used tapes before and learnt how to capture films onto a computer for editing.
These are other programmes and significant websites that I used, most of which I had previous experience in.

Evaluation Activity 4
With British Crime Thrillers such as our film that incorporate humour, I personally feel that there isn't a strict target audience. Although many may compare our film to a British film as the likes of Football Factory I would steer them to compare our films style to Lock Stock and Two Smocking Barrels.
However if a trailer was created for a film like ours the scenes that would be shown would probably give people the stereotypical impression that the film is for football fanatic southerners, who through about constant cockney banter, would enjoy an episode of 'Only Fools and Horses' or 'Two Pints of larger & a Packet Crisps' and would not skip an opportunity for a pint down the pub.
But with our film I think the audience is not as restricted as it would seem from first glance. I do believe that our target audience is working to middle class men and women from the ages of 18 - 40 who live in the UK. I say this because they can all relate to the characters and can get the humour and understand most if not all the banter.
The only thing that can be counted as a restriction for audience of our film is that people below the age of eighteen would enjoy and want to watch the film but due to their age are not legible.

Evaluation Activity 2
One of the key characters from our short film is Karsey Ken. He was dubbed with this nickname due to him having IBS and he's forever on the loo. The costume and style of the character was based on a character from the Guy Ritchie film 'Snatch', the character is Turkish, played by Jason Statham. Both characters wear shirts with blazers leaving out any sight of a tie. Also with the short haired, rough stubble look. The similarities of the characters continue in their ability to be very violent , examples of this is Turkish fending of his shop when the thugs are destroying the machines with baseball bats. We see Ken about to be violent in the end of my film taking the showing and lifting it to assault the mystery person in the cellar.
However the similarities pretty much end there this being because Karsey Ken is more of a sidekick with a violent side than the smart, strong 'protagonist' that Turkish is.
