Interview with Richard Morrison

Richard Morrison made over 150 titles including the first Baman film and Gun crazy with some of the advice he has given to the viewer below;

- Make a storyboard by drawing it out and then you have a good enough ide then you can put it into a model. It is key not too over complicate the idea so it doesn't keep changing.

- Once you have created the title you are going to use you can then you will need to wait a day so that you can decide whether it is good and that you like it otherwise you can change your mind and be back to the start with no good idea.

-Once the idea is finalised you do not need to complicate it by adding morre suggestions you just need to adapt them. The team are able to change parts so it all still stays as one task. If the idea doesnt work as much such as the idea he had of the worm that would hang down he had to use tecnology to advance and make the idea work.

High Vs Low Budget


Student Film marking


Vengeance

What I liked about this
  • The opening looks just like a the start of a film as it is a very good pace and the titles come in between scenes which fits really well.
  • The acting from the girl is very good throughout then the boy comes in and does exactly what a boyfriend would do when she needs him to help.
  • The girl getting ready by putting her make-up on and perfume shows the audience that she is trying to impress a boy and then we find out who it is when he walks in without seeing his face at first.
What could be improved
  • The Lionsgate film production does not fit with the genre as there is fire and dark colours in the background of it.
  • could get the male actor to talk more or have more of sa script so we know how the relationship is as the ending seems like she is up to something.
  • Male could put more emotion into acting.
  • Include more camera angles and more editting
Score
48/60
Fits very well with the genre that i am guessing of a Hybrid genre with Romance and drama. Acted well by the female.

Growing Pains



What I liked
  • The mixture of camera angles, with the one on the skateboard being the best one makes it all fit in with the titles.
  • The acting of the area they are videoing is good as it fits in with background, clothing and venue.
  • Like the link with the Pigeons in London.
What could improve
  • The music doesn't really fit with what they are saying and the area that they are in.
  • Do not understand how they link with the boy in their friendship.
  • Could put more enthusiasm into the body gestures/language when standing around and walking as this will show their attitude more.
Score
46/60
Overall the setting of the filming was good for it to fit in with the genre and the characters have done well to use their clothing codes and voice to make it look and sound like the rural area.

Quantum



What I liked
  • The Editing in general is very good and makes it look like a proper film.  The part of it with the mask and people running then disappearing was very good and linked in well with the fight and chase.
  • Music fitted well with the pace of the action and kept the viewer having an eerie feeling of what could happen to the girl.
  • Good setting to have a chase as there is a lot of places that could hide and seems to be no one around in the area.
  • Clothing of the colour black shows that there is something bad going to happen as it is known as the colour of death and scariness.
What could be better
  • Make sure the actors stay in character and have more facial expression about how they are feeling in this.
  • Could have more of a script so the audience know and understand why she is running away from him.
  • Maybe use more colour in the editing to show the mood of the characters.
Score
54/60
Overall this piece of filming has been put together very well and the editing has been done to a high standard.
