Inspection - Short Film Evaluation

'Inspection' is one of literally dozens of short films I have viewed over the past week, however this is the first one that I decided to evaluate as it includes many of the elements I wish to incorporate in my own Short film.
Firstly the film containes a wide variety of both shot and camera techniques - with little use of film or sound editing involved; these directorial choices immediately interested me as I also had the desire to create a Film  that was minimalist but at the same time with a very defined and solid concept.

The film also runs with next to no dialogue in the lead up to a dramatic and quirky conclusion that uses both elements of shock and humour to great effect.
Some complaints I have about the film include the use of a vast location that I may struggle to acquire for my own project  as well as an overall very high quality camera that I may also have trouble providing.

This film also includes no running soundtrack - musical or otherwise after the title has appeared, this is a very effective decision in this case as there is no straying from the action as well as making the climax even more unexpected.
Overall this is a very proficient short film that I will likely take much inspiration from in order to enhance or improve my own in the future.

A2 Media Course - 2012/13

In this preliminary term of next years A2 courses, we have started media studies by being asigned the task of creating a short film in any genre/medium etc. with the minimal requirement that it be less than 2 minutes. This task resembles many projects we have been given in the previous AS media course as well as providing a basic guideline on what media projects we will be given in the coming year - if We have aspirations of continuing this course after september. In a slight alteration to last years work, we have been put into random pairs for the duration of this task however I've been placed with James Turner - a student who I already have media project experience with from last year. For this task I will research 'short film' with a priority towards English-speaking, live action films that are between 3 and 8 minutes in duration; the film production will also include story-boarding and a full evaluation of the film concept and other aspects of development.

The song that has been chosen for our intro is Encoda by Pendulum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB74qeRghrw

We have chosen this because of many reasons for example; the fast paced filming links into the fast and exciting music which will be in the background. Also in certain areas of our intro we have parts which involve loud or sudden sounds however we will not just have the normal sound of footsteps for example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsZUGoa3JHc&feature=relmfu

We will hopefully increase and edit the normal sound and make it more harsh sounding and painful for various effects.

Also there are many different parts in out intro which have desired bits of intensity this means that in some areas it will have quick and fast paced music while in other parts it will have slower less exciting music and sounds effects.
