In groups we were set a task to each film a short film to show to the rest of the class, there were two different film genres that we could of been given, horror or film noir, my group was given film noir. After previously researching film noir in lessons prior to this we understood the conventions of film noir and how to implement them into our short film. Everyone in our group was given different roles there was a camera man, actors, and people to do editing and lighting. I was given the task of being camera man and I also had to act in some scenes.
Things i liked about our short film was how easily and quickly we shot and put it together. We each had a week to film in our lessons and we finished filming in the first lesson and went on to editing in further lessons. I also liked the editing on the film as it really helped set the feel of film noir and helped the audience know what genre we were given. We included many conventions of film noir in our short film such as spiral stairs, femme fatale, shadows, black and white setting.
Things i disliked was the amount of time given, we were given a very short amount of time so the film could not have been to an amazing quality, but I still believe we did good job for the amount of time we were given to complete the task.
Overall I believe we did a good job at making our short film and if i had chance to do it again I would spend more time filming so we would have a larger amount of shots to use in editing.
