hey loved the video, especially the music used, really helped to emphasis what was being shown. im contemplating doing film for my ext 2 assignment. how long did this take you to film?

[rozzapezza]

It took about 2 terms of pretending to do work by writing a script and the two nights of shooting and about a week of editing. Not long at all, I only got 35 for this though because they are so limited in their criteria they hate original stories, all my mates who did original stuff got screwed, all my mates who did remakes of poems or something shit like that which has a strong undeniable link to a text got like 40+

dude the movies awesome. it mightve bin the response that put down your marks. i like it though way better than those artistic bullshit films. im thinking about doing a film for my ext 2 but ive never done one before. any adive wat camera and editing program did u use?

[rozzapezza]

Hey man, I used a Canon XL2 which is like a shoulder mounted standard definition (but progressive) camera. And I edited it on Adobe Premeire Pro. I hope this helps, ask me any thing else if you want.

nice work. I liked the tension build-up and whole plot. Kept me really interested. :)

i actually really enjoyed this film. i'm doing a short film for ext2 this year and i appreciate how hard it is to organise these things. the thing i liked about yours was it was realistic and wasn't attempting to be all artsy. what mark did you get?

[abe3188321]

the story line sucked that is, but the filming techniques and editting etc was alright...

[MarciGDC74]

just out of interest, give me an example of a poem that someonw did a remake of. and what school did u go to?

[mithilag]

Kinda seemed needless, but absolutely loved the camera work.

[inkybutton]

wow awesome shooting and editing. and your camera is so awesome! cant really spot grain in low light situations...

[rozzapezza]

Your attention to detail is amazing. Fair enough if you don't like the character. But it's easy to criticize character construction when you choose to overlook it in your own films. I mean it's too bad the focus was on tomato sauce, senseless ultra violence, a hungry rowan atkinson, funny faces and derivative experimentation.

Man I don't take offence, but don't get all high and mighty about an HSC film for fucks sake.

haha thanks man. my problem was i didnt care what happened to the main guy. he was a wet blanket the whole night:

- reluctant to come out

- scabbed ogalos off his mate

- didnt drink at the party

- threatened to leave the party because the girly he fancied wasnt there (what about his mates)

- had a lil cry over an accidental chip on the chin.

HARDEN THE FUCK UP
