Institution/ studio

Planning for studio

Buena Vista Distribution Company - They are part of the conglomerate 'Disney'. In the past, Disney films were distributed by Columbia Pictures but a dispute among the two companies led to the formation of Disney's own distribution company. The main reason as why they are a good choice for the distribution of our film is because they are a well-known and extremely successful company. In addition they have many films which have surpassed the $1 - billion mark in worldwide box office.

Reflection Post


I understand that I need to put in more work on the blog outside of the classroom, especially independent work. I will put more effort into doing just this as I still want to attain a grade B on my next progress grade and Blogging Health Check.

Evaluation of Rough Edit


  • Font needs doing

  • Filming was blurry for some the shots that come later on in the clip - We need to redo these. 

  • More variety of shots

  • Mise en scene for chess set scene.- match cut of geeks moving chess piece. Move chess pieces closer to the camera. Chess book with the chess geeks.
  • Bully needs introduction.
  • still images should correspond with actions
  • transitions
  • Camera angle for loner - show his perspective or looking down on him. 

  • Mise en scene for drama queen. Her acting matches the role but her clothing does not. Preferably something pink and frilly. 

  • new shot of classroom. Also other places like classroom board, college hall and 

  • structural change focusing on classic opening.

  • over the shoulder shot of Miraj/new kid looking up at the college.

  • Post on classic opening.


This is a picture of some feedback that was given to my group in terms of what needs to be improved in our High School Drama film from looking at our rough edit.
