Thursday 14th of January, Feedback from our Client
When we came into our CRaM class today none of us knew that our client Derek Budd was going to be there. He was going to watch our films today, give us feedback and decide whether they were going to be put onto the website or not. As we were not ready for this we didn't have anything prepared to present our film to him. This was quite difficult and made us all quite nervous when we explained to him what our film was about and why we decided to make it on that subject. But I don't think it matters that much because no one else had anything prepared to say, so he didn't expect it of us. Our film was watched third after the 'Running Away' and 'Bullying' films.
I was quite nervous when he was watching our film and worried about what he was going to say afterwards. He seemed to quite like the film and gave us positive feedback about it. He said that it was a good piece of filming, and it applies to both girls as the second girl is very quick to say she wants to go back downstairs to the party rather than help her friend make an important decision. As Mr.Budd said "It's not just about drinking, the girl and sex, its also about friendship". He also said that the film had a good ending and the film doesn't leave any doubt to what the girl is thinking about and what is behind the door, there is also a good point of view at the end when it goes blurry to show that the girl is quite drunk. The second girl going downstairs makes it more believable that there actually is a party going on downstairs that she wants to go back to. He didn't give us any negative feedback which is good. So Mr.Budd decided that our film was going to go on the website and we didn't need to make any changes to the film, Which i think is very good as many of the other groups have to make quite a few changes to their films. I think we made a very good film especially as we did everything in one day. The filming, the editing, and the music. The video will be going onto the Youthoria website within the next two weeks.

Thursday 7th of January
Today in our CRaM lessons we watched all four films of all the groups in our class, and all gave our feedback on it, the good things about each film and the bad things and how we could improve them. Our film didn't have much negative feedback, only a few things about the sound and lighting. We had to film it during school hours so it was about 11AM in the morning, so it was quite bright, and the party of course wasn't meant to be at 11AM. We couldn't do much about this, but it wasn't that much of an issue. The sound was probably the biggest problem, but we could still hear everything the girls were saying in it, all we had to do to fix this problem was make the sound louder while editing it. We got quite a lot of positive feedback about the different camera angles, amount of time we finished it in, fading, costumes, acting etc.
We completed this film in one day, we filmed it all in about 1:30 hours on the last day before the holidays. Then after lunch we edited it all and put music onto it.

We have finished everything with our filming and editing, and improved it in any way we could. Now I am just writing the accessibility for it, and later on I'll draw the story board. I will Upload some photos to this photo later on.
