Swede: The Hunger Games

Overall the Swede of the The Hunger Games was fairly good as I felt we got all of the main scenes done to the best to our abilities. We found good locations such as we filmed our outdoor shots on The Cow and Calf and The Moors which were perfect as the quietness of the moors created the battle grounds. It was windy so the sound of some clips weren't quite crisp and sharp

Feedback no.2

Overall I feel that you have made an excellent start to the course and I have been very impressed with your commitment, enthusiasm and desire to do well. Well done. Love the vlogs too; keep it up! Although they are quite long! Maybe make more notes beforehand and be more targeted in your analysis. You are currently working at a low Excellent level (A/B); in order to ensure your work falls comfortably within your targeted A/B grade, you should do the following going forward:

Now that we are approaching production, I would recommend that you start blogging more regularly on everything that you are doing on the course. This could start with your swede; write a blog (or do a vlog) on your contribution to the production and what your challenges/difficulties were in achieving your swede.

Keep it up! You are on target and I’m looking forward to seeing you work on your film opening.
