this is the second film i'ver made for my uni course. Basically we had to film a person using a range of shots not worrying about sound or anything, and not having any real narrative. It only had to be a minute long. So unimpressed with this i made a film that does worry about sound (dialogue) with two characters and a narrative. Because i want to make films, not 1 minute videos with a person in it.
Anyway here it is

I liked the last line. The performances and the setting (university halls of residence #246) are obviously kinda weak, and there isn't much of a script, but it is shot very competently - in particular, the parts where they plonk the money down were well done. I can see you've progressed technologically from the "It is I who is your father" film. Well done, Ryd. And again, that last line is quite good. I'd imagine it did/will get a decent laugh when screened.

These film courses seem to be completely weird.... almost designed for people who have not only never made any films, but also have never seen any films! haha
It's a nice little clip that, especially as it is instead of a pointless project idea you were set. I've always enjoyed your editing, and this is another good example. The guy that lost didn't seem all that angry really did he... haha... oh, and there was a little bit of camera shadow on the cards that are being held close to the cam near the end.

Good stuff. I liked the depth of field you got on the close-ups. Only thing I didn't like were the titles. They were a bit too big and looked amateurish.
You looked to be pretty much in control of every aspect of the film so can't ask for much more than that.
Perhaps a little bit of dramatic lighting next time? B&Q security floodlights are awesome for indoors. I swear by them. Get the the ones that are about the size of a brick. They are only a few quid. Get 4 or 5 and you're laughing. Also a little bit of music to set the tone/pace/mood?
It's always good practice to try and include/try a new discipline on every film when you're just starting out.
And that last line, pure gold!
Well done, keep it up!
Andy

There was no script, all improvised! and as for the it is I your father type film, I have made serious films before and after that one. i have one in the edit stages at the moment but i dont like the ending, plus i need a mate to do the music for it. It's basically not getting finished because of stupid uni thanks for your comments mate much appreciated!

I'm so glad i did it on my own computer and not this stupid Media100 everyone else has to use.. simply the worst program ever. It also might help if they taught us how to use it properly. i agree with you about film courses.. its so annoying Cheers for the comments dave

Well done, keep it up! Andy yeah i've always wated to get some good depth of feild, glad you noticed! Yeah i agree about the titles they were a quick 2 minute job i didnt think about. I may change them later. yeah dramamtic lighting would have looked awesome... gutted i didnt think of that. I know exactly the lights you mean, they have them to rent out at the uni, really shoulda done! I did think about the music, but the project didnt require audio let a lone music! again i may add some later. thanks a lot andy you're new here right? i'll welcome you in this post... WELCOME!
