Avis Review
A Rapper’s Ambition is a film which follows our Asian male protagonist in a journey which he takes in order to try and be successful in the music world. Our task as a group of 4 was to produce a film trailer were it would attract our target audience to come and watch the film; if it ever came out.
Our first stage of our practical production was when we got the camera and started to film. This stage was when the group was at a high level of enthusiasm which slowly decreased as time went by. The first range of shots that we got were very good as they varied, however they were criticised for being too dark making it hard to see our villain.
The next stage was test screenings were we had to show the class what footage we had and how we planned to use it. This was the time when the group were de motivated and heartbroken as we were accused of having done nothing and just wasting our time messing around. Teachers, mentors and even fellow class members thought that our production was a “joke” and that we will not finish in time at a satisfactory standard.
Following on from the criticism and accusations which we took on the cheek, we managed to turn things around and made progress in an instant. We finished in time and followed the correct conventions for a film trailer and we as a group were happy with our final production in the end.
Our aim as a group was to get 65 out of 65 but we managed to get 62 out of 65 which was good enough and we also joint with two other productions for the three best productions which got 62 as well.

Review of A Rapper's Ambition
Nabil’s Review
A Rapper’s Ambition is all about ambition for music; it tells a story of a gifted young Asian artist having a desire or ambition should I say to become a successful rapper and make it to the top of the mainstream music industry however overcoming tough obstacles in order to get to the top
Moving on, Our filming started pretty good, we adapted well to the use of the camera and managed to get excellent shots on our villain, however our group was criticised
for having too much footage in dark scenery and we lacked more footage in open light, but we quickly managed to get more footage in light than dark.
However we did struggle during the test screening, our production, compared to the rest was all over the place and like Ajitpal said, we did get A LOT of stick from people and from there on, people began to doubt if we would ever finish on time. This motivated the whole group really which made us commit every single day and evening filming and editing until we had achieved our target of producing the best trailer
Furthermore, we managed to shrug of the criticisms from people and put our heads together and worked thoroughly hard to produce the final piece, everyone in the group did contribute effectively and we implemented all our ideas professionally which was the reason why we did prove everyone wrong (including Mr Bush) and to get the top grade and also the reason why ‘A Rapper’s Ambition’ is in the running to become the best production

Ajit's review
Well, the practical production started out with just a few rough ideas put foward by the whole group, however we all agreed on two things, firstly that we were going to be making a trailer and lastly that it was going to be based on music, which is something that we all follow and have an interest for. As for the production, this is what happened.......
We were all enthusiastic about the production and the different types of shots we would use and how exciting filming would be and you can remember our excitement with the shots of the ducks we shot, however we soon realized that most of our shots were done in the dark and we took quite a bit of stick for that, not mentioning any names (ms jones), anyway....
As we as a group got further into the production our filming started to fall apart and that kind of reflected itself in the test screening and again we took alot of stick for that, not mentioning any names (ms jones) anyway, we soon got back on track and we were alot more commited to the task in hand and we took our new found glory into the editing process where we continued to get excited over the effects (they were good though) but all in all everyone took part, even though me, avi and amit would do most the editing nabil still contributed by gving ideas (the glass) and updating the blog and uploading the footage.
However the best bit of the whole production was to see the look on Mr bush's and Ms jones's faces when they saw the final product, and to think that they ever doubted us, we always knew we could do it, how about that for a review.
