A Rapper's Ambition

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.
