What targets will you set yourself for G324 next year – when you will make a trailer?

We haven't set a time yet to when we will release a trailer but it will probably be out a few months before the film so that the audience have some time to view it and that they won't have to wait that long for the film to be released.

The targets that I will set myself for next year is to:

;Get all the filming done on the same day so that the scenery is all the same and that nothing is changed.

;Make sure that all the scenes are filmed perfectly e.g. no background noises and that the scenes are made to look real.

;To try and get better props so that they look more realistic and so they fit in with the film.

;To try and add as much skills and techniques as possible e.g. try and use all camera shots/angles.

Evaluation activity 7: Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

From the premliminary tasks that I did back at the begining of the year I have improved greatly between the premliminary task and then the full product, my camera work and editing skills have improved alot. Just simply looking at the task and the final product you can clearly see that the swiftness between the scenes is much better. Another thing is when it came to cutting the scenes that improved greatly because at the ending of the one that I did in the Hall there was a part that we didnt need in the short clip and we didnt cut it out, but now looking at our final film we made all the scenes seamless and have no parts in them that are irelevant, so it flows nicely.
Another thing that you can see has improved between the two is that the variation and creatiity of the camera angles.The camera is also alot more steady.
In the final product that we made, the range of shots we used was much larger than the range of ones that we did in the two premliminary tasks. We used the 180 degree rule, shot reverse, panning, high/low and establishing shots.
Through out the progession to the full production we learnt and realised ourselves as a group that we did need to use a better camera to the one that we had been using before. With a better camera our film would appeal to the audience more and it would also be able to cope with the action shots that we had going on in our film.

Evaluation activity 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?



Through out creating our film we have used lots of bits of software and hardware. The image of Ryan on the left is where he is using the Adobe Premiere Elements 10 which is what we used to piece together our film. Its was very simple to use and it did the job well. We didnt use any other software over the course of making our film but we did you Blogger to do updates and used YouTube to add our final film so that people can view it.
On the left this is the equipment that we used to record our film with, we used a tripod for some parts to keep the camera still and then the camera we used varied between the one in the picture and a DSLR which gave a better picture. Lastly the cable hanging off of the camera is how we put the video onto the computer so that we could then edit it.

How did you attract/ address your audience?

 

 

To attract the audience through out our film we decided that we should have a fast paced action/chase scene which would keep the audience alert to what is happening within the film and that they wont want to take their eyes off the screen because anything could happen e.g. Ryan or Aaron being shot or hit by a car.

Another way to attract the audience was that we would have 2 special items within the scenes, that would be the main objects in the film.We used these through out the film to show that they were important objects and that the audience were always wanting to know what is inside the briefcase and what is on the disc. By knowing whats on these it would give the audience a great idea of what is happening but they never find out. By not giving anything away it means that the audience stay attracted to the film as they are desperate to know whats inside the object.

Evaluation Task 4

 

 

Who would be the audience for your media product?

 

 

The audience for our media film is 16 year olds upwards to middle aged. The reason for the film being a 16+ is because there is swearing in the film but it is minimal andthere are fighting scenes with weapons such as a pistol which all of these ccan be a bad influence on a younger audience.

 

The reason that i say that it ranges up to middle aged people is because it is a fast moving film which the elderly might not like and not be interested in. ALso it might be quite hard for the elderly to understand what the plot is for the film and ehat is going on and so they probably wont enjoy it.

 

The film is aimed at men more than woman. Roughly every 1 in 5 would be woman when watching the film. This is because there is no romance in the film and no happy ending which is not the typical stereotypes of woman and so it aimed more at the male audience. As we have lots of fighting, chase scenes and cliffhangers it means that it is converting to the typical stereotypes of males and so they will enjoy the film more.

 

It is aimed more at a slightly younger male audience from 16- 25 as the characters with in the film are this age and so they will engage with the film better. It is aimed at above 25 year olds but they will probably not enjoy it as much as the younger males.

Media Institutions:

There are many types of media institutions. These are Universal, Warner Bros, 20 Century Fox, Sky and many more.

We decided to go with Universal as they have released films present and in the past that our similar to ours and so we thought this would be the ideal media institutions to go with. A film that has been released by Universal is Fast and Furious 6 (May 14th 2013).

This is a very popular film hence that's why they have made 6 films but this film can be related to ours. Both films have action and adventure within them with deals taking place and fight scenes are regularly happening.

Another film released by Universal that is similar to ours is Robin Hood (2010). This once again is similar as there is lots of fighting and action but also a lot of drama and cliff-hangers.

Other media institutions like Warner Bros and 20th century fox did release films similar to ours but we all decided to go with Universal as we believe its more popular meaning that it can gain more publicity and that there are more films released within Universal similar to ours.
