Review

Review: Escobar III
Escobar III is one of the most interesting and exciting Crime and Drama short film that I have ever experienced in my life. The film was released in 2017, starring David Omo-Osoba and Kady Poulet. The plot of the film is about a wealthy boy who is originally from a ghetto in Leyton, an area of East London. Despite living in a difficult area, he has succeeded in his own ways. He built his empire from selling drugs on the street to then, become the biggest drug dealer of the area. The day he decided to take an order away from his penthouse, is the day trouble came his way, when an undercover police officer bought a stash from him.
The location of the film is taking place in a field, in hidden alleyways and in an old basketball court. The full storyline is based in East London. The soundtrack is mostly based on UK grill music since the film is based in the UK. The main song used in the film is called Escobar by the English artists Tion Wayne- Grind Don’t Stop . The song really goes well with the film and really falls in line with the themes and intro.

I would highly recommend to listen to Escobar if you are 15 or above. The film will have you at the edge of your seat and you will not regret watching it on.

Audio Feedback

Evaluation

David Omo-Osoba
Assignment 17 – Induction - Task 6


How helpful was your analysis research on your chosen theme?

My analysis was very helpful because I did a lots of research on my own (music wise, movie wise and watched you tube tutorials) to find out what would be the best and appropriate to add to my short film. By doing so, I have learnt how to take different shots from different angles such as close up, long shot and mid shot.
How helpful / successful was the pre-production process? 

I planned it out by writing up a plan sheet to help me to have a good structure on the different steps I should follow for instance where the location would take place, how we will share the task as a team, who will do what (acting, directing, filming) and what would be the story line. As well, I did this in order to know which equipment I would need for my acting part such as a crutch and a fake drug pack. And for the filming part, I used a Panasonic video camera.

How successful was your production (filming)?

I think for my first production it was quite successful now, I am aware that I am lacking of experience as when I look at it, I realise what I could have been done differently such as the way I  hold the video camera because I handhold it consequently, the images are moving and it gives a sense of queasiness. So this is something I need to improve on by learning how to use the stand hold. Even when my teacher gave me feedback, she mentioned that I need to be steadier when holding the camera. On the other hand, it was successful because we knew where to go, where to start for each sequences / scenes. As a team, I think we had good communication which facilitated the way we worked together and enabled us to produce a good piece of work.

Discuss strengths and weaknesses of you’re a-B Story making reference to the codes and conventions of other factual programmes you have seen

I took lot of my inspiration from the TV show Power this is why there are several similarities and differences between my films Escobar and Power in terms of the features for example with the camera work, the settings and the costumes. These two films depict the street life and how it is viewed from inside and outside. The art of the camera work has a big effect in both films.

Audience feedback

What the audience liked the most was the choice of the music and the fact that I used different music for different sequences. The audience also said that they felt I was acting seriously and were surprised because in real life they see me as not being as serious.
Also some of the feedback were around the fact that I should have use different camera shots to create mystery. Even though I watched you tube tutorials videos, I know that I need further practice on how to shoot from different angles.


What improvements could you have made?


As mentioned above, I need to improve on how to use a stand hold, on how to make it more dramatic because it looks like it is missing of action and dynamism. I do feel the film is lacking of suspense and danger but I wanted to show how it is when dealing drugs in the real setting of street life.

Theme songs
The theme song that they used in this TV show is 50 cent- Big Rich Town (Feat. Joe) this is the main song that they use for this TV show that every part of the show they show that   something is going to happen they play this song and also this song is the main song that they use also they use this for things that are very interesting, they want everyone to find out what going on when they a scene that happing that someone is going to die. This theme is one of the common and best songs that is in the world and also they used this so they didn’t need to pay anyone money to play their song on the Tv show and they   
Talking about what the story is about?
Power is a TV drama show which has many different storylines, but I’m looking at season 4 episode 10 from section 44.10 cut in to 50.53 this is showing what is going on in the scene.  Some of the camera angles are fast pace shots and it’s a two shot with two people who were Tyrek and ray ray, the use of two shot increases the tension between the characters because the camera is going back and forwards between them.
Camera shots?
The cross cutting is when they are running up the stairs when the camera is cutting between different kind of parts in the scene to show the movement of what the characters are doing how Tyrek goes in the flat then goes up the to meet ray ray in in the house and when Ghost, Tyrek father goes to the scene and see Tyrek going up towards ray ray and the shot they got him while he was standing and looking towards door of the flat it was a side shot while he was looking at the door, the shot is when Tyrek goes next to the door and try and find a way to get inside the flat and the camera shot that they got him standing like his the boss and its looking like his going to do something really crazy and he looked like he didn’t really care what was going to down for the crime that he going to commit.
This shot when he was next to the flat door it’s a low angle mid shot because it’s shot from the waist upwards. In the scene a point of view shot is used to capture a first person view to make the audience feel as if they are in the characters perspective.
Sounds/sound effects?

The sound that they was using in this scene is a action sound that something is going to happen the music is the background is a terror song that is making the audience feel some kind of way and they need to understand what is going to happen in this part of the song also its showing how the characters are showing the body language so we know what they are actually feeling and also it can make us feel the same thing as the St. Patrick family are feeling. What Tyreke goes and kills the Ray Ray guy in house also the music changes when they are going to back to the house. While are in house the song changes while are going inside the house and i0n this scene they Are doing a  voice over and they are showing what they are doing and playing a calm music in the background and while Tyrek is going to change and the song while his doing what he needs to do.
