Evaluation Of Planning
After the feedback from my teachers and class mates it was clear what changes needed to be made. Changing certain shot lengths and different editing styles would dramatically improve my entire project.

Animatic #1
Feedback From Peers:- Good use of sound - effective at engaging - good use of contrapuntal musical score.- Good shot choices and pace - tilt upward from dinner plate.- The sequence out of the house needs to be improved - more shots/clarity- During the second set of jump cut editing in first sequence some shots need to be a few frames longer.- Fade transition from sequences - from tilt to opening of door.- All needs to be slightly longer.

Showing Narrative Through Technique
Due to nature of short films there isn't much time for the director to establish a narative through dialouge and storyline. As a result the director is forced to use elements of camera, editing, diegetic sound and mise-en-scene. Therefore I plan to take these technical elements and use them effectivley to establish a narrative. My narrative will be constructed using a combination of cinematography styles, editing pace and mise-en-scene (in particular lighting).
When I was creating my AS piece of coursework developing a narrative wasn't key to the brief as a result I plan to look closer at this element in my A2 coursework.
A feature length film would follow a traditional linear narrative similar to Todrov's narrative theory in which there is an equilibrium - disequilibrium - re-equilibrium (www.scribd.com/doc/8332523/Narrative-theory-notes).
However due to the nature of short films it would be difficult to establish each of these elements effectively. As a result I will use Barthes' enigma code to convey narrative. This is the idea that the media presents a series of mysteries and clues which must be unravelled by the audience at the end of then text. (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_Barthes'_Enigma_code). This theory allows me to convey a narrative through the camera rather than dialogue which is suited more to short films.
