evaluation task 5

evaluation task 7

During this course myself and my group have definitely learnt a lot in terms of skills for film making and being able to present it as we have been taught a variety of key information needed such as: editing all the effects or all the different possibilities, the many different camera shots and angles from high angle medium shots to POV shots and lastly the stereotypes of different personalities and the evolution of technology and the effect on the film industry.

From making the film I was able to understand the true way on how some films can be made even with extremely low budgets as i have learnt how to use the editing software adobe premium, i learnt the many amazing shots that could help make the film look and feel very professional and lastly how important that the group applies to making a film. In our film we used a wide range of different shots from POV to establishing shots and during this course to help me get a better understanding on how to use the camera I had watched many different films to compare lots and lots of different camera shots used within the films for example for sci fi films there are many establishing shots as it allows the audience to see the many beautiful locations an imagination can create and i action films there are many close ups to show many emotions or actions during any fight scene or chase scenes.

Editing is one of the biggest parts of making films as it allows the film to play smoothly and it also allows unwanted footage of sounds or missed recorded scenes to be removed, and with adobe premium there were almost endless options to help our film feel and run as smooth as a professional film would feel like. This is due to the fact that there are many different editing options you can chose from for example for transitioning you could cut it meaning it has a master approach to the next scene or you can have a fade with makes the film feel slightly slower, and when you are more advanced with the software the possibilities for creating an amazing film is endless as there are millions of tutorials on how to do certain edits or animations to add to the film. Lastly by using this software my group was able to create a very simple animation for the main production company and with this animation it helps the film feel a lot more professional and to add on the help of warner brothers really inspired our choice of animating transitions.

In the picture above is an unfocused POV shot of someone looking at someone, with the use of black filter. This shot was one of the most effective shots within the film as it helps put the audience in our characters shoes and in this case the character that the views feel as if they are is dying in this part of the opening. With this shot there were many ways to pull this off with the equipment we had for example we could of done it unfocused but the use of effect would be really weak but this shot was extremely hard to film as there were many different rules to follow while shooting for example the 180 degree rule this rule was extremely hard as it means that mo matter what the two characters must have the same left/right relationship so that the scene doesn't feel missed placed, and to add on for effect we had added fades to help give extra emotion when the heavy breathing comes into the scene.

In this picture is an over the shoulder shot unfocused of both the villain and the witness with the black filter that we had through out the film. In this scene the use of cut was used to be able to show the action of one of the characters this is also know action motion and in our case we are showing Carlos one of the characters picking up a missing poster prop, to add on myself and the group tried our best to input the skill shot/reverse shot but we barely was able to put it in the scene as we never included any shots of either character looking at a different character off screen then having a shot where the other key character either looking back or doing something else.

evaluation task 6

technology was a huge help for this project as it enables us to be able to film to the best standards, edit as cleanly as possible to help the viewer get a better picture of the film, allows us to actually upload the film for the public to see and feed back on and also allows us to record feedback for our film allowing us to listen to the video and listen back to what improvements we can do for next year. Over the years technology has also evolved to help films be as good as they are today for example at home there has been a trend with online distributors which allow the viewer to watch a wide range of films at the comfort of their own home with out standing quality with fibre optic internet and 4K televisions which also help with experience of using online distributors.

For my media project we had used a set of very good equipment for filming we had used a Nikon camera, this camera was essential for our film as it allowed us to not just record the actual film it allowed us to record in amazing HD quality being at 4K but the only down side to this was the file sizes as the quality was so high the films did take a lot of space meaning that rendering would take quite a long time which limited us. One other piece of technology that was key was the school computers that are Dell, the reason that the computers were key as they allowed the access for adobe premiere which is the software we used to edit our film, this software was extremely useful as it was filled with many edits that allow us make a film transition well and helps the film run as smooth as possible to add on this software also has a number of extra features to be able to add on to either a film or a video, but this software does have many problems such as: long render times, very hard to use, very hard to keep track of every clip filmed and sound track. Lastly one other piece of tech that was essential for use to take photos for the location, to record videos, and to help upload these videos on to youtube so it is watch able.

evaluation task 8

During the first year of this course there has been a lot that I haven't learnt from different ways to edit, all the different genre of films and examples, all the different camera shots and angles and lastly how to properly make a shot opening to a film. But despite the things I have learnt there are also a lot of things to learn or to improve on, for example things like editing by improving my editing I will hopefully be able to create a good trailer for my final piece of work, I also need to work on the many different shots I can use in my film by including as many as I can to help make my film look better and many more.

For next year i will be setting many targets for my self such as: when analysing my work for next years evaluation work i must try to talk about everything to be able to give a detailed analysis of my work, when filming I need to be able to get the best camera shots and to add on to this target i want to also be able to have amazing props to work with to help make the film look a lot more professional, and lastly one of my main targets is to keep my time management as organised as possible by doing this it will help me do all my work properly with no rush by the due in dates. lastly to even make either a trailer or a scene have smooth transitions we could possibly use a different software to edit with or even have better technology to make the process easier and smoother.

evaluation task 4

as a group we have decided that our target audience will be aimed at older teenager to young adults or from 16-25 year old, we think this is a suitable age group to aim as if we had aimed at the lower age group the story line and content of the film wouldn't be suitable for the young people. also our story line could really relate to the teenager life as when your a young teen these teens are more up to no good with drugs, bad behavior and partying. and this could also relate to real life as at around 20 people start to have families but people still have the feeling of losing people such as family or friends.

to add on the conventions of horror or thriller such as: falling over in a chase, going towards the danger, teenagers being liabilities in the film and the creepy underpopulated locations ma\y appeal to the long time fans of horror or thriller and seeing the classic conventions could possibly be a good feeling as these conventions are practically in each horror/thriller film.

also we have aimed at this age group or making 15 plus due to the conventions of the age group and the conventions of the films that have this age restrictions of 15 plus. stereo-typically 15 films are usually either action films, horror/thriller or mature comedy for example for films like ride along or the ring all these films all have something in common that is the mature content used that wouldn't normally be in films like toy story. as for the age group there are many conventions for this age group as it is teenagers the conventions are: teenagers are very interested with things like going out , possibly going to be heavily influenced by things like drugs and alcohol, or from activities like partying the teenagers could be really badly behaved.

evaluation activity 2

From watching our opening and also comparing our opening to other films I have noticed that in the horror/thriller genre there is always a very vulnerable character by either being weak, being in a bad situation, injuries or gender. For example in the movie scream there is a lady who is chased by the main villain she has a many similarities to our main character Carlos such as: in their respected films they are both the victims from either a chase or a fight in their scene to add on they are both teenagers which also helps add to the stereo-types of the genre this would make them vulnerable as they have witnessed the crime and the main criminal/villain would want all witnesses gone, but despite one of their similarities they are also very different from one or another for example they both subvert from their stereo-types of gender as men are meant to be stronger and women are weaker and all they do is panic and just lead a group into danger.

One similarity between these two characters is that in their respected movies both characters either see the main villain kill someone or has the main villain chase them through out the film, for example in the opening film of lost Carlos is chase till he confronts the killer about his identity and what his true intensions are and in scream the girl witnesses the murder of her boyfriend and is forced to run for her life in search of help from the locals. But despite this similarity one key difference is that Carlos the character from lost was able to be strong enough and confront the killer asking for the killers purpose is but as for scream the girl just panics and keeps running away instead of being abled to either fight back hard enough or confront the masked man this also links to the stereo types of gender as the girls are meant to be weaker than the boys.

lastly one similarity of the two characters is that both characters are shown to be teenagers in their respected films for example in lost Carlos is a normal 16 year old boy just going for a stroll while listening to music and in scream the girl is spending time with her boy friend who are both shown to be teenagers. but however both characters are also different due to appearance for example in scream the use of costume is used well to represent the stereotypes of teenagers going for a more trendy casual look but as for the film lost Carlos is subverting from the stereo types as his costume is less casual and more smart.                                                                                                                                                      

evaluation- activity 3

In my film we had created

 

In the film industry production companies are extremely important for every film, this is because the production company helps with the funding of the film, the companies help with scheduling the film and meetings, the script, the organisation of cast and crew and they also help with distribution. For my own production company, we have a very simple design for the logo with flying birds with a plain black background. my group chose this type of logo because we didn't want the design of the logo and the animations to complex otherwise we would of spent to much time on something that can be very simple and smooth, to add on the connotations of the simple black is mystery, horror, maturity, sophistication,or evil. To add on the black helps create a horror film vibe towards the film. While making our logo and the name the group was very inspired by Warner brothers by the use of the smooth animation but we were mainly inspired by the simple logo of the letters to make the logo. For our film it would be fantastic to be able to distribute to all distributors but there are many down sides of distributing to any distributors such as: when in the cinema the film has the possibility to gain millions on the opening week but but the down side to that is that if the movie fails our film will be unable to get more than the million and to add on the film and the production company would also have a really bad reputation meaning distributing to a cinema would be extremely risky, as for online distributors it is very different as the risk of getting your budget back isn't as risky due to the online distributors actually paying the production company to show the film on their website to add on this means if the films fails or not then the company at least make some money needed but the down side to this is that by having a low risk method of selling the movie means the rewards isn't as high as either if the film fails or is successful the film will only get a set amount the distributor paid for plus extra due to people streaming the film. In the end i personally think that online distributors is the best option to be able get the most out our film this is because if we go with the cinema and fail the income back will be almost nothing. When funding a film there are many different ways that a film creator can get the money to be able to get the extra equipment like: lenses, props or make up by either getting extra jobs getting extra income, a loan from the bank or from family and friends and lastly either selling personal belonging for the extra money. As for my group our camera man had done extra hours for his job at sainsbury's to be able to have enough to buy a top quality camera that is able to film at 4k to add on i had also helped at the family business to be able to get the extra money for props and make up. In our opening of our film the titles that pop up are pixel films, cloud production, and the feature of the actors and camera man we had put these titles in this order because it helps suggests the importance of the name for example pixel films we had added this production first because it is the main production company it also is the most important for the group

feed back and presentation

When I watched back on feedback for our film I thought that all the feed back from the video was very interesting, because when some of the people talked about the sound we surprisingly got okay reviews when myself and the group thought that the sound in the film could be improved heavily as it was very clunky and it really didn't feel that the sound was right. One other interesting feedback was the fact we had barely any dialogue as people thought that using this technique was very effective during the scene but myself and the group felt that the work was very poor and lazy as speech would help draw in the audience and get the film to be interesting. lastly one of the best pieces of feed back we had gotten was about all the camera shots we used I was extremely happy about the feed back as camera shots was the main element of the film.

From this feed back we have learnt a lot to do with our film the bad things that we need to improve on and all the good things that myself and the group were really happy to hear. To improve we must track back to this feed back as the age group of the class is also the target audience for our film.

activity 1 evaluation

 In the image above it shows our institution we had included in our film, when creating our film we decided as a group that we wanted to seem very professional, to do this we had researched many different institutions such as: universal, Warner bros, lions gate etc. From researching the different there were many different and similar features to the institutions such as each institution have very smooth transition, some change the colour of the text to create the atmosphere or joyful or creepy and the difference are the fonts, the colour of the text and the size of the text in their institution shots. From looking at our institution we were very influenced by the animation of Warner bros and to add on we had included the colors black, grey and white to create a creepy atmosphere

 In this picture is a low angle medium shot of one of the actors Carlos and with one of our titles which says ‘starring Carlos Gouveia.’ Titles are really effective in this scene as it gives the impression that the clip is a film and it also give the film a more professional approach with the font and colour if the text. In this picture we used a low angle medium shot, this shot was effective as a low angle shot shows power or importance this low angle medium shot can suggest to the audience that Carlos is one of the key characters in the whole film or in the opening 2 minutes of the films. To add on the location we had chosen really helps with the horror film vibe as it links to the conventions of the genre being a very underpopulated area, but also being an extremely creepy location and with the black and white filter it helps create a scarier. During the editing process for this part of the scene was very hard this is due to the fact that the group was very indecisive on how to transition the different shots and how the transition for the titles should be

 In this image above this is a POV shot of one of the actor Kieran looking at another actor Leon. This shot was used as it puts the audience in the characters shoes and in this case Kieran is slowly dying and the effective of this is that it makes the audience feel as if they are the actor also allowing the audience to be more intrigued with the film. To add on we have included a black and white filter throughout the film, this is effective as it helps the film have a creepier atmosphere towards the audience also allowing the thought of mystery. When editing this part of the scene we had many problems such as: syncing the sound with the actual clips then adding the fades to create effect.

 In this image there is an over the shoulder shot of our antagonist with the black and white filter again creating that really creepy atmosphere and mystery of what’s going to happen next. The use of the over the shoulder shot was very effective as it puts the audience in position as if they are either alongside the characters or a spectator of these situations. In the image is an unfocused shot of Carlos one of the characters, this was effective as it creates a mysterious atmosphere to either the character or what is going to happen. This shot is really effect as it helps show the facial expressions with the character Carlos and it also allows the audience to see more of there location.

 In this image above is a close up of a missing poster showing that a teenager has gone missing. This shot was used effectively as the use of this prop was a very big story indication as it semi explains the origin story of our villain, and to add on this also creates a lot of mystery about both the character and the film making the audience ask many questions like: where is he? Why is he missing? Why is he now the villain? Etc. in this scene this shot was also a close up of the chase as it did a close up to the feet’s of the characters as the ran  along this shot was used effective as it creates a much more intense and also speed up the pace of the film.

 In this image is a low angle unfocused long shot with the use of black and white filter. The use of this shot was really effective as at this moment of the scene the audience would be positioned as if they were included in the scene and by using this it makes the audience get more intrigued with the film. To add on the low angle long shot is really effective in this scene as it suggest importance to both characters, this is because low angle shots suggest power, but this shot was included to mainly cause tension for the characters and the film it's self and i think with the use of this angle, shot and the edit the shot was able to do its job by creating just that extra suspense in the scene.

 In this image is an unfocused over the shoulder shot of both characters in the opening scene and with the black and white filter to help create a creepier atmosphere. The use of the unfocused over the shoulder shot was effective in this part this is because as the two characters have a short convocation it allows the audience to look at both characters as they talk to one or another and to add on the unfocused effect also adds mystery to the scene as the audience are un aware of who the killer is.

 In this image is the last shot of the scene and it is a medium shot showing the identity of the killer. This shot was really effective as it was the big reveal of the main villain, to add on by having the reveal it allows the film to have tension towards the audience as it may have shocked the audience. We used this shot as the last shot because it ends with a cliff hanger and the effect of this is that it makes the audience want to watch the rest of the film to see the conclusion of this film. while shooting this shot our group was heavily inspired by the many different ways popular films end their cliff hangers for example a film like Logan has a scene where he is apparently dead but the scene shows him come back to life setting up for the sequel to the film or a reboot.

In this image is a shot of the title of the film ‘lost’ as you can see we had made a simple title for the film but the effect of the colors suggest death, sadness, darkness ect and this helps suggests the genre of the film which is horror/thriller. To add on in this scene we added music this also helps suggest the genre of the film as the music is very creepy and creates a very shivering atmosphere. and to add on if this film was in cinema the sound from the loud speakers would help the atmosphere be created even more. Lost was the best title for us because it links back to the main story line about a random teenager missing then suddenly a number of murders happen.

my own experience

During this course there were many ups and downs, from losing half my group to making an amazing opening first 2 mins for my media project. to start with media was a really fun subject where i would be able to learn lots of new things about films, editing, camera shots and angles etc. to add on it was also a great way for me to start making friends with with people that I would never really talk to. Although the beginning of this course was really good there were many bad things about the course so far such as: exam prep was really bland, i didn't do as much work or i just didn't like some of the lessons but all these things in the later date started to become minor things.

When our media projects started it was going very well i had a good group was enjoying the ideas we was planning and overall it went really well for me but then our group did hit rock bottom when we found out we had to split up into separate groups, this was bad as it did cause a lot of drama between the two different groups. When we separated our group just stuck to the idea of making a horror film and having the story based on a zombie apocalypse.

weeks after we had done lots of research and planning but  then there was another problem one of the member in my group had left meaning there was only 2 in my group now but luckily he still helped us with filming and planning our film. at this point I wasn't the happiest as from these events we as a group had to change our film idea completely from zombies to murder from horror to horror/thriller.

at the end of filming our new idea I was extremely happy with how well the opening came out while editing as all the work and effort myself and my group had put in was actually worth it, then to add on I was also happy at the friendships I had built up while making the film as almost everything ran smoothly and in the end i personally really enjoyed the project

sound track research

In horror/thriller films the sound effects and the music is very import for creating a very tense scary atmosphere to the audience. Lots of different horror/thriller films use different type of sound tracks to create their perfect horror/thriller atmosphere by have slower creepier music or having a faster sound track for the tension for actions like a chase or fight scene as the fast sound track almost feels like the film is being sped up in scenes like chases or jump scares, but as for the slower soundtrack it is able to create a creepier atmosphere as the suspense is being generated for that climax meaning the suspense is building till the jump scare or chase.

in this first clip is one of the best pieces of music that we could use for our movie as this song starts slow building up the suspense of whats going to happen next, then as you progress to the song it leads into that fast tempo feel and from the build up this this it can be really effective for our chase scene making the atmosphere creepy and intense.

from this clip there are a fantastic line of great sound effects and different types of sound track that we as a group loved, this clip was very good for the group as we used this for the more slower scenes to create the suspense by using sounds like scream or light voices. we also used one part of the song to finish the scene off, that song was really effective as at the end it made such a creepy atmosphere after watching our opening.

institution reseach

For our production title we have heavily used the colours white and black for both the image and the text for the production name, we had used these colours to create a very peaceful vibe with the calmness of the colour white but we also wanted to make it creepy then this is why the colour black is used as the darkness of black can suggest danger, evil or horror. this use of colours was heavily inspired by the Warner brothers production title in the harry potter the deathly hallows part 2, this was a huge inspiration because it truly creates a very calm and peaceful vibe but then the vibe completely changes as the title slowly gets darker and darker which creates a very creepy vibe to the film suggesting evil or danger.

To add on the animation we used for our institution title screen was heavily influences by the standard warner brother animations. we used this as a big inspiration as when you watch the clip the animation allows the scene to run very smooth straight after the institution shot has passed and as the animation is very slow it creates a very scary vibe, the slow motion of the warner brother sign suggest the theme of the film if it is brighter it can be a happier film if its darker and slower then it can suggest that the film is a horror of thriller.

the schedule for filming for my media project

November 15th- on this day myself and my group had to start planning film ideas such as: story line, location, genre, the actor/actresses and what props would we need. On that day as a group we had decided to plan out a horror film by doing a zombie themed film.

Following on the next day myself and the group were looking at locations for the film we had looked from London to Kingston for locations that are abandon or have a haunting theme to it in the end we had agreed to film at Oxshott heath as the location was truly creepy and it also was very quiet meaning no filming issues and that the area looks deserted. Then we carried on with researching about props and our location.

November 27th- a week has past and from that time myself and my group have been planning the film out still by making the story line about a group of young teens in a zombie out break, however the story line did get changed due the original 5 member group splitting into separate groups as a group we had stuck to the idea of zombies and horror.

December 4th- A week following the separation of the group also a week after deciding what could be our final story ideas, we had done a majority of our research and planning from doing location research to doing online tutorial research for the editing software we are using for our film. at this time another one of our group members had left but still agreed to help us film the opening tour film.
A couple of days later we had decided to change the film completely instead of having the idea zombies instead we decided to do murder as the main topic in our opening scene.

December 13th- after changing basically the main story line for the opening, we had to change some of our research. but on this day we all agreed that it is filming day, so me and Carlos had got the 10:45 bus to Oxshott film to start our filming at 11 am. filming had taken us roughly 5 hours to film including the retakes and taking shots at different angles.

video of camera shots ideas

bts- prologue(camera shots)

This video interests me as the video includes a wide range of camera shots that may be useful in our opening scene for our film. In the first opening minutes there are a lot of use for extreme close ups and close ups, in this video they were used very effectively to show the emotion of the characters if they were happy or sad, one other thing effective about the extreme close ups is that it also reveals what the characters have done for example the first scene the boys hands were covered in blood which tells the audience that he possibly killed some one and this was from the one or two extreme close ups of the characters hands and again with the use of this camera shot it showed how scared he was and how he was panicking.

From watching this clip i have noticed the use of the birds eye shot, this shot was used effectively to show off the amazing location of the film or to show the bonding time between the friends for example at 1:39 the birds eye shot was use to show off one of the characters in one of the stunning locations. to add on there are many uses of the establishing shot showing off the amazing sights around the location for example at 5:52 there is a stunning establishing shot that is really effective as it also shows the boys having fun giving a very happy vibe to the short film.

again from watching the film there was one part where one of the characters was alone looking at the ocean the shot use in this scene was the POV shot this was used really effectively and has really inspired my group to input the shot in our film, th effect of the shot is that it makes the audience feel like we are that person and with the nice view and the stunning location the vibe it would give the audience is that would be really warm and would make everyone feel like its a holiday even.

film pitch

our final film idea
our film is a thriller/ horror, the film is about a young teenager who had gone missing but many years was found alive but up to no good. during the time he was missing people had been killed, people had gone missing and many places were destroyed and this film is about the journey the characters go through to solve the crime to protect the public, but no one knows why people go missing or why people are being killed it could be just a serial killer or even ghosts taking over someones body but this will all be discovered in the film.

character profile 2

the mysterious man in black

played by: Leon Huynh

description: this character is a mysterious man who is up to no good, he is rarely spotted anywhere and never leaves a single trace of him anywhere. In the opening of our media project the man is spotted carrying a dead body by a bystander, as he scouts the area he spots the bystander to make sure that the bystander doesn't say anything of his appearance, as he is getting confronted the audience and the bystander find out that the man is a teenager who has gone missing for 2 years.

costume: the man in black wears a simple black cap, with a black addidas hoodie, with black jeans and trainers

the use of these pieces of clothing was used very effectively as from the color of black it creates a very mysterious atmosphere, it also helps the character's identity to be kept hidden until the big reveal, and lastly from the color black is suggests that the person in black is possible the bad guy in the situation due to the connotations of the color black

character profile 1

the innocent man who spots the missing teenager (bystander)

played by: Carlos Gouveia

description: just an average teenager taking a walk around Oxshott as its something he does for his daily routine. In the opening of our media project the man goes for his walk but as he is mid walk he stumbles across two mysterious people one being dragged around and the other is pulling, the man goes to investigate the situation to discover the person being dragged is dead, then the man is spotted by the mysterious man and then is chased till he is confronted.

costume: the costume is very simple as it is something Carlos does wear on a weekly basis and in our film he is hearing: simple chinos, a white checked shirt and school shoes.

In my opinion i think this costume was used effectively this is because the color of this costume is very bright compared to the other character and by using light colors this suggests to the audience that the person in the brighter clothing is supposedly the innocent person in this situation

despicable me opening analysis

In the opening to despicable me there are many clear indicators with what the genre it is and it is clearly an animation/cartoon by: having the different art style compared to a live action film, the style of the film it seems to be more appealed to younger audience which is stereotypical due to the atmosphere being very bubbly.

In the opening to despicable me there are many different questions to be asked about the film such as: why was the pyramid stolen, who took it, how did the person do it, is there going to be a hero to save the day and what will the evil villain do next.

With the use of sound within the film there is a very unusual effect created. With the use of sound track there is a very Egyptian approach to the sound track and this also reveals where the location of the opening scene is of the film, again with the use of non-diegetic sound it has the effect from the Egyptian music fading into music to suggest a hero or a big character reveal this is effective as later on in the scene the music fools the audience to create a small bit of humour for the audience, and lastly the last song ‘sweet home Alabama’ is used to create a upbeat approach to the film and to have a more family approach to the film.

In the opening of despicable me we find out many things such as: the opening is located in Egypt, a big villain has stolen one of the great pyramid, a young boy on a tourist attraction discovered the fact the pyramid was stolen and we find out that the villain could make a move bigger.

In the opening of despicable me there are many different camera shots that are effectively used in the film such as: in the opening seconds there is an establishing shots showing the Egyptian desert, then there is a medium shot of a random Shepard this shot can help suggest importance possibly to the character, further in there is a long shot of a tour bus driving and interrupting the pathing of the Shepard, then yet another long shot of showing the family from America which suggest a small part of importance, there are a variety of over the shoulder shots showing the young man running off to the dangerous places, a variety of low angle shot of the kid flowing through the air.    

adobe tutorials for edits

In adobe premiere pro i can use an effected called clone effect which makes the moving object or character to look like we can see and after image this can also tell the audience the moving character is extremely fast. From using these tutorials our group was able to use this effectively to improve the editing of the film, this made it better as the edit made the film looked smoother than  without any editing done to our project, and to add on from using this we was able to learn something for possibly other projects within the media course.
