Post Production Questionnaire Result- Atul Sharma



We instructed our participants to view our short film production on our blogs or YouTube. After watching our short film they will be able to complete the questionnaire. We had 20 participants for our questionnaire as our group believed this the correct amount to get most effective and realistic results.

Week 9- Atul Sharma

During this week I edited the footage. Video editing is the process of manipulating and rearranging video shots to create a new work. Editing is usually considered to be one part of the post production process — other post-production tasks include colour correction and sound mixing. I also created a table for the log rushes and edit decision list.  Once I had finished editing I showed the footage to my group members and target audience. They gave me constructive feedback which would make our production more professional and comical. After the appropriate changes were made it was time to add sound effects and the credits.  We researched into other comical short film sounds and were made of the codes and conventions which we could implement in our own production.  Finally we created a DVD copy by using iDVD and we also uploaded the short film to YouTube. In order to gain more feedback we uploaded the short film to Facebook and shared the link on Twitter. The vast amount of positive feedback we received meant we have successfully created a short film which was enjoyed by our target audience.

I also created a post questionnaire which will be handed out to our target audience. Due to targeting a younger target audience it was only appropriate to keep the questions simple and easy to complete.

Justification of Film Classification - Chris Phillipou

The ‘12A’ category exists only for cinema films. No one younger than 12 may see a ‘12A’ film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult, and films classified ‘12A’ are not recommended for a child below 12. An adult may take a younger child if, in their judgement, the film is suitable for that particular child. In such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult.

The ‘12’ category exists only for video works. No one younger than 12 may rent or buy a ‘12’ rated video work.

Discrimination

Discriminatory language or behaviour must not be endorsed by the work as a whole. Aggressive discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly condemned.

Drugs

Any misuse of drugs must be infrequent and should not be glamorised or give instructional detail.

Horror

Moderate physical and psychological threat may be permitted, provided disturbing sequences are not frequent or sustained.

Imitable behaviour

Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied, or appear pain or harm free. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.

Language

Moderate language is allowed. The use of strong language (for example, ‘fuck’) must be infrequent.

Nudity

Nudity is allowed, but in a sexual context must be brief and discrete.

Sex

Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed. Sex references should not go beyond what is suitable for young teenagers. Frequent crude references are unlikely to be acceptable.

Theme

Mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers.

Violence

Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context. Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated, and must have a strong contextual justification.


Our production "Out of Control" is a 12A classification as we feel our production matches the 12A criteria. Our production doesn't show any violent, sexual or drug related scenes, neither does it show discriminating acts or feature abrupt or bad language. Our film is based in a school environment, where these elements are also frowned upon, so we feel we would be contradicting ourselves if we was to feature these in our film. We have also made it a 12A becuase although none of these negative elements are included in our film, we still feel an adult should be with the 12 year old watching, because the common room scene with Arran Omar and Armani has some lets say "slang related" words.

Week 8- Atul Sharma

We spent this week filming our short film. After going through the script with the cast and rehearsing the scenes we were confident to start filming. As we required using the main school corridors it was only appropriate to film after school. This meant we had extra time rehearsing, which allowed our cast to be familiar with their lines and roles. As this was the first time we were filming, we had to learn how to use the camera and other filming equipment. However Chris was quick to learn and we used our time most productively by getting the main footage done.

The second day of filming went much smoother. Everyone knew their roles and was the cast showed more confidence while acting as they were more familiar with each other and the crew members. We also had the opportunity to redo sections from the day before as the footage was not to the high standard we had set ourselves.  In total it took just over 4 hours to get all our footage and rehearse any scenes that the cast were confused about.
