Film review
Film review
The story of three nerdy college students who are tired of
being zeros and whose only desire is to fit in, attempt to go all out to throw
the party of the year! The movie involves best friends Cedrick, James and
Oliver, who have been inseparable mainly because all three are equally
unpopular. In true coming of age movie style they now realise it is time for
them to make their mark.
What makes this film distinctive from others is the use of
song lyrics used to replace selected speech through the film. The effect of
this helps express the character’s emotions which is similar to the famous
YouTube hit ‘Songs in Real Life’ adding humour and clearly being presented
throughout the film. Facebook Famous has noticeably captured the entertaining
side of three young boys finding their way.
Cedrick is the tall, dark haired one, James is the skinny
short one and Oliver usually feels like he doesn’t belong with them, he is so
unpopular even with them. James decides to host the party.
While planning the party all three are confused on who to
invite, therefore they invited every single person on Facebook hence the reason
of the film being named ‘Facebook Famous’ but the main question is will anyone come?
The party day? Not much of a party while they’re waiting around
for the guest to arrive, Minutes to hours and still no sign of their guest! So
they think they’ll just ‘get the party started’
Being the first time ever anyone of them have drank they we
are all eager, cracking open the beer and pouring vodka into shot glasses has
them going crazy! To top off the evening they decide to add the cherry on top,
Oliver has a surprise, taking their ‘party of the year’ to the extreme.
Home time! While walking the lads are definitely not seeking
perfect love. But they see her, tall, hair stylishly flowing with the wind, beaming
beautifully, and the first girl who has ever been so pleased to see them. Will
one of the boys luck be in?
Interestingly, original,
funny and will definitely be remembered by this critic!

Audience feedback from our Short Film
The feedback we received for our short film 'Facebook Famous' was agreeable as we did have a few mistakes which made our short film look not as professional as we would have liked it to be. The first problem we were told was about our actors as they were not fit for the role we had them playing, the actors had no experience and this was their first time hence the reason they were not as confident. We were also told that if the actors were playing a 'geek' role they needed to look like it as they were dressed to casual, we didn't inform them with clothing, we only told them the role they would be playing. Another comment which was based around the film was that the editing could have been improved, the problem we faced with this was having to sync the music lyrics we also had to make it realistic. We were told the camera shots we used were good and mainly the one when one of the actors was walking down the stairs with this we used continuity editing to clearly show the audience what he was doing. Overall we did receive some good feedback and this can always help us if we had to do the task again. If we were given a chance to improve our work the one thing I would change would be the actors as I would tell someone whos had previous experience.

Editing
During this week we started editing our short films. We came across a few problems which made it harder for us to edit as we had to reshoot due to lighting.
