Inspiration for 'Dad'

We were inspired by this character played by Stanley Tucci in the film 'The Lovely Bones'. He matches our interpretations of what we envision the Dad to be like in our opening.

The appearance of this particular character is similar to what we imagined our character to be. His personality also matches i.e; friendly to neighbours but has an underlying sinister side.

Evaluation of 'Jumping Jack'

Positives:
We used over-the-shoulder shots to create a view from a particular characters' perspective. We also used close-up shots of Jack to show his initial reaction (shock) and emotions because of this. We used different non-diegetic sounds to exaggerate certain situations and highlight an alien-like atmosphere. These added-on sounds also make the clip more suspenseful (ticking clock) and also amusing (cartoon-style noises).

To Improve:
Extending length of time for shots so there is more time for post-production. Some clips i.e when Jam Joe laughs at the end, the music prevents the viewer being able to hear the full extent due to lack of timing.
Certain clips were split and because of our lack of understanding of iMovie, we were unsure of how to undo the process.
