EVALUATION Q1 (COMPLETED)
A Convention is something that you expect to find in a film, in this case a teen film. this can be anything to do with camerawork, mise en scene, editing and sound.
This high angle camera shot shows Reggie lying on the ground. This shows him as an inferior character as he is at a low angle. This would be a typical camera angle for a nerd character.
This use of editing may not be typical of a teen film however street fighter, video game element about it could be used as a reference to the nerd characters love for video games. I think this was a clever way to represent Reggie's brutal beating by his brother.
This mise en scene is a classic example of a teen film convention. The jacked up trousers, checked shirt and tie are all items of clothing you would expect to find this character wearing in a typical teen film.
For sound, i think the voice of Reggie is a good example from our film as a typical convention for sound. i used a well spoken, sometimes stuttering voice to portray this nerd character. i think that i probably considered the stereotypical voice of a nerd.
Overall, i think we stuck to the conventions of a teen film. The area where we excelled in this was probably mise en scene, specifically the costume as i feel if a complete stranger glanced at that charater on the street they would instantly think they are a nerd. the area where i think we could have improved the conventions was probably the camerawork. i think we could have incorporated more high and low angle shots to show how inferior the nerd character is.

Evaluation Q7
Prelim: When I had started my prelim we where giving no research to study about our characters this was the most important thing I realized about the filming industry that in order to make a successful film you need to do research as it allows you to gain a better and wider knowledge of what you are filming. With this being said it caused major problems when I was filming as my characters didn't know how to act on the camera and mainly consisted them on not fitting in their role correctly. I often came across many mistakes when filming as it was my first time getting used to using the camera and equipment, these mistakes consisted of 'shaky cam' , dark lighting and terrible match cutting etc.
Final: My final project was very different from my prelim as many things where changed such as I grew a greater knowledge of filming and became comfortable when using the camera and equipment so my scenes where much better and looked more professional. A lot more research was done for my final project as I had to study the Teenager inside out even though I am one myself but it has taught be to always start with research as it benefits your film as you are able to direct your characters into their roles so they can represent each character and stereotype and also helps to develop a better understanding of your film. Editing was very easy this time as I had gotten used to it by attend countless workshops to develop my skill using final cut pro,with this being said it allowed me to make a successful film as I was able to use animations and add effects to make my film interesting and enjoyable for the viewer to watch.
