Evaluation Taks Three

From this group discussion our group learnt more about some of the strengths and weaknesses of our film.

Evaluation Task Two

I have chosen to compare the character Billy from our film with Nolan from the well known horror film franchise Friday The 13th. I have used a screenshot from the scene where Nolan and his group of friends are heading into the wilderness in search of Camp Crystal Lake, and the mystery Cannabis plants that grow there, i used the scene from our scene as it was the beginning of our characters adventure, linking to Friday the 13th as in both films, a group of young, adventurous teenagers are travelling out into the unknown, in search of different things.

Even the clothes the characters from our film are wearing are relatively similar to those worn by the teenage actors in Friday The 13th as both sets of actors are dressed in relatively casual costumes, such as Jeans and Hoodies.
