I think that this video was collectively well put together and you can you tell the effort that was put in. For starters the creative layout of scenes, not only did you have a variety on new scenes but you well decorated them. For the opening scene the papers all over the wall are a great example of that creative touch. The title scenes and or text layovers were great to, it wasn't some crazy font or color it was seamless and fit well into the video. A huge compliment I'd like to give was the transition from the actor's face into the missing poster, it just made sense and was well implemented. A great video comes from not doing anything way over the top and sticking to what your strong at doing and I think you were able to accomplish that. The genre is quite clear from the audio in the beginning and the use of dark scenes. Overall great job.
Constructive criticism is hard to give especially when the only type of media we consume on a daily basis is that produced by professionals so it's like a established biased is already within me. However I would like to leave you with a few things that could either spark new ideas later down the road or to implement into the final version. You did a great job creating and building up the plot in rising action I liked the dark scenes in the room, however you would then cut to outside scenes, either in the car or outside and it would be clear and sunny out. I feel like to add onto dramatic effect if it was a little more darker out to be in sync almost could potentially benefit the video. Also when you displayed the name of the film, ZIT I feel like thats your oppurtuinty to have a little more play with the fonts and animation of the text and displayed big, I could also find it benifical if you chose one name either Z.I.T or the full name. But overall I really like what you came up with and think you did a great job.
My Current Rough Cut
I think the video was really good. you guys did a really awesome job with the opening credits, setting up a fun and jolly mood really well with some fun music to go along with it. i actually took inspiration from your video, the credits being something that wasn’t in my video at first but after seeing yours i added mine in. the transition from fun and happy to dark and grim was seamless really well done. the heart beat sounds and more suspenseful music replacing the happy and fun music was sick and really well done. i think you did a great job implementing some things we learned in class in the video, specifically the establishing shot of the ice cream place and the canted angle i think it’s called, im having a hard time remembering but im pretty sure its called that, but when the girl gets attacked and the camera does a little shake. i dont know if im wrong but it looks like when they enter the ice cream place its light outside but when they exit its darker, obviously its something really simple and obvious but its pleasing to see a clear passage of time to show they actually spent time together in the ice cream place. i think the editing in the walking scene is really awesome also, the cuts are really really smooth and it looks like multiple people were recording at once.
I agree that it’s hard to give constructive criticism given that what we consume most of the time is all top of the line work, but i’ll try. something that stood out to me when i first watched was the eerie music coming in really early while the first song is still playing, and the first song fading out already while the attack has started. i think the two tracks overlap just a little too much. i also think some of the shots from the attack could have been a little longer, it already looks really cool so maybe just the end or something being a little extended would have made it even more cool. and this is just a nitpick and i don’t think it matters much but it saying “the end” at the end of the video when it’s the opening of a film is a little odd, i think we should be left wondering what could happen for the rest of the film if it was a thing rather then thinking it is the end. but the video was awesome and these were hard to come up with.

For the production of our final project I would like to keep it small scale. Going this route allows my team and I to be able to have more flexibility and have the freedom of producing to a niche market. With that being said it should come to no surprise we will go with a independent financing scheme. As we are only high school students anything were going to produce we would like to have control over it rather then someone else having a say in our vision because they put money into it, when it comes to this type of thing we definitely like the creative control. As for who would star in our film, it will definitely be a collaborative effort into fitting the roles. At this point in time it would be me and my friends in class and outside of class if needed more cast members. When we go to shoot obviously we would like to produce something that is not only our vision for the project but is visually appealing. As mentioned before we are just High School students we don't exactly havin...
For our finial project we have selected the crime genre. This genre tends to focus on things like criminal behavior, law enforcement, investigations, and consequence all for entertainment purposes. Its more of a dramatized genre because it has to entertaining and not boring, so we need to find good balance between entertainment and realism. Going over the history of the crime genre a lot has happened. It is derived from silent crime drams from around the 1910s and was inspired by real life crime, like gangsters and mobsters. In the 1930s was where the world saw the true rise of gangster films into popularity. Showing the viewers the people the criminal underworld. From this crime films expanded into detective stories and criminal heist films from jewelry stores or banks. As the crime genre expanded we began to see a lot of correlation to film noir, therefor the two for the most part were intertwined with crime being the genre and film noir being the subgenre. Film noir was popular...
