Over all I have to day I was quite Happy with how the film turned out.
The aim of the film was to introduce people into this little weird world of the morris that people who are in it hold dear.
I think that it is important to note however that there are changes that need to be made in order to make a better film.
The main issue I feel was the quality of some of the footage. As there was no was to change the lighting situation al lot of the indoor footage was shot in relitavley low light therefore it was grainy. The reason this is such an issue is because it is so obvious to the viewer. It is a distraction. However it not taking anything away from the films structure, and think it is slightly forgivable because it depicts an important part of the story we are trying to tell. this idea of a process from practice to dance out.
What I think this film does is create a glimpse into a little understood world. Most see these people dancing on a weekend and have no idea how it comes to be and I think this film help to show what these dancers are about.
the sound design I think in parts needs boosting. I tried to create an ebb and flow in the sounf to make the dancing more effective and have a greater in pact. I also wanted to create a momentum in the build up to the dance out to create the idea of practicing intensley and then the pay off. However I think this dipped too low in places and lost impact, the intent though I think carries through.
In terms of thw shots we used I think we used a good mixture and practice and the dance out. However I don;t think the close ups wored as I intended. The idea was to show the juxtaposition of the painted faces and the real people behind them. However I don't think this worked as it created the desired effect and just showed the audience close ups of people they didn't know.
All in all I am pleased with the film and I think that it fits the brief and fulfills my intent.
