DepicT Evaluation

 Evaluation- We came up with the idea to do a surreal comedy which included a vending machine and a mysterious being appears. Our main idea for the film was that; our main protagonist wanted to get something from the vending machine but when he entered the money, nothing came out. He starts to get annoyed when his friend walks by and gives him a hand, beating the machine. Our protagonists friend has an idea and then goes to get help and this is where he summons the character with the only name in the production 'Scarce'. He summons him by using a double upload, people unaware of the person scarce will probably not get what that means but its basically a well known reference that links the two things together. Scarce and the Protagonists friend run back to the college and help the Protagonist get a bottle of water from the vending machine and it works. Both characters then walk off and then so does the main protagonist.

In the making of the film I supported both camera and editing as I know how to do both things fairly well. I helped with the positioning of the shots and made suggestions to the editing. I didn't take control of either as it was a team project and didn't want to make everyone watch. Overall, I believe my group did very well with the filming and editing. I also took part in acting and my role was 'Scarce'. I'm not the best actor because I find it hard no to laugh when doing it and that should be something I should try to improve on to make the film look more professional.

In the editing stage we sped up a lot of shots to make the film go faster but also so it would have a comedic feel to it. We also reversed a shot to make it more interesting and more funny. We also included a green screen of a person also coming out from a tree. We used key-frames and added motion to some of the shots to give the shot some 'life' and make it not as boring, We also tried to make the film flow by giving it good cuts. We also enhanced the two voice lines to make them sound higher pitched to add comedic effect.

There were some continuity errors in the film such as the weather outside changed from one scene to another. For example when the protagonists' friend goes to summon Scarce it becomes sunny.  There is also a shot where Scarce is walking but previously he was running. To make the film better in the future we should try to eliminate as many continuity errors as possible.
