The genre was comedy.We decided on for our film was, teen age comedy a big influence for our film was American Pie directed by Paul Weitz and was released in 1999, and porkies. We decided that we wanted to film it at long road because this would make to location more realistic for our teen age comedy. We would of also had a lot of other teenage kids around for background extras.
Our group want all of the characters to all appear as “nerd”, with big black glasses and unique outfits such as shirts and tie, waistcoats. In our 1st session I thought it would be a good idea to take still images and place them on our blogger. When I started to put the film together and edit it i found a few bits hard so I decided that we should go back and film more. So then it was easier for me to edit. We also did not shoot the characters walking into the main hall; if we missed this out, our film would be very hard to follow.
My role in the group was the Editor/Filmer. I was in charge of making sure all the filming was in continuity and that I had the shots to editing them together. We shot a lot different camera angles, it was almost a trial and error, we only used the shots that we thought would betray the charters.We then choose the best shots. Jack worked on the sound we based our sound on the Super-bad soundtrack. We filmed a lot of the work around long road outside, in the cafe,and in our class room, most of the places we filmed were quite quiet this helped us because if we shot where it was really busy you would not be able to here what theodore, brandon, melvin were saying.
The feedback we got a mixed reaction between things people like and things people didn't understand and the problems, I feel like the sound and editing were out strong points.Our group still thought that there was still quite alot of footage missing. We were told if people watched this and they didn't go to long road they wouldn't understand where the characters would be. The shot of them walking in to the hall was one of the last minute shots we added in. I wanted this shot in because i want to show the audience where they were going and not just jumping to Dan sitting down.
I thought the micro features were very important for our film to make the comedy effect. We added in glasses. I filmed them in places in college that would not be classed as "Cool" places to hang out.
We also gave them High voices and had them talking out there xbox games and how they weren't invited to a party. out story is about 3 young guys at 6th form trying to get a girlfriend. In my group i found it quite stressful because I had such a huge job on my shoulders. American pie was the main film we took alot of our ideas from the way that they play with there hair to make sure it looks "cool". But me and Dan the cinema-photographer looked at the way the titles at the beguine fade in and out. We also thought it would be a good idea to have a production and and a pictures name we came up with Pinwheel Pictures and we made up two names for our produces.

We thought we should do that so the viewers knew who the charter were straight away. 
In my own eyes I don't that we worked well as a group therefore I felt that I was doing most of the work.I got stressed out over some stuff. I think that most of the film works however, the rest of my group thought that the ending should have a girl in it. I do not think that because it is only supposed to be an extract for our full feature film so I feel this would be rushing thought the movie when it is just our opening. I would liked to of do another part of the film because I really got into it.
I am very happy with our end result. I still think that we didn't have enough shots but i think it worked well with the footage we had. The sound I feel that alot more could of been added to the sound. I also felt that there was no direction from the director. If i have a chance to film this again I would film alot more but from different angles.
