Ideas For Film Name



I have thought about all of these names with our film's storyline in mind so they all link directly to the film. The final film name that was decided as a group was 'Twisted Angels'. We chose this because it has the closest link to the film in our eyes as the girl (when she was alive) was the parent's ideal of an Angel, but, after she died she has become warped as a person and twisted into evil, hence "Twisted Angels'.

Preliminary Task Evaluation

I thought that the preliminary task went quite well. The exercise was aimed mainly at using a variety of various different camera angles / shots and to get used to some of the issues or problems you would encounter when filming. Overall i think it went quite well and the shots flowed together nicely which helped produce a well established and professional short clip.
