Evaluation

For my final draft, I will have to change a few things in order for my film to be better and to make the
most sense. I need to add a scene in where one of the characters walks into the kitchen, this is
because the two scenes don’t match the continuity. This will be done by a different person dressing
up as the character, as the original person chosen to be in it moved away and is no longer able to be
in it. It would also be better if I had more of a backstory because the character Becky doesn’t really
say much about why she moved back in with her dad, in the original plan she tells Stacey and Emily
later on in the film why she moved in, but since we had to shorten the length of our film it isn’t
mentioned, so it doesn’t make much sense. I could add a vo of the main character Becky as she
explains why she has moved back with her dad and brother. As the genre of my film is social realism
it should include a lot of codes and conventions to make it clear of what genre it is. In my peer-
assessment, she said that I should add more social realism/council estate conventions of the area
she lives in, to do this I could add a clip of her walking around the area so the audience can see that
she lives on a council estate and see the type of area her dad lives in. Before I upload my final draft, I
will add in the scenes that I need to film or re-film.

Furthermore, I downloaded a song and other non-diegetic sound effects, such as an iPhone ringtone.
The sound effect adds to the clip because originally there was no noise and it was too quiet. I added
the song to the beginning to make it seem more like a film, it was difficult to find a non-copyrighted
song that fit my genre, I found one where the lyrics sort of match the main character. I think the
song fits with my film because of the circumstances the main character faces, she used to be quite
popular and have friends, but because she moves a lot, she lost a lot of them.
