FINAL FILM OPENING

Q1. In what ways does your media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

we have used intertextuality for our film starting because most films start the way our Thriller trailer started off.

first it showed the 'CANDI' studios, and the 'North East' production


THE FILM PYSCHO WAS A BIG INSPIRATION IN OUR THRILLER TRILER.











CONVENTIONS TITLE SEQUENCE


IT USES THE CLASSICAL OPENING WITH ESTABLISHED CLOSE UP SHOTS AND GOING BACK INTO FLASHBACKS.
I HAVE LEARNT THAT IN THE TITLE SEQUENCES YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE MAIN IMPORTANT PEOPLES NAMES, THEN YOUR THRILLER NAME, AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE E.G. MUSIC COMPANIES, COSTUME DESIGNERS, FILM EDITORS (ECT)

Q2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Q3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

For our film 'The Run' we have only made an opening of our film.
The start of our film was only funded by CANDI studios which is a local small company. ( also in our opening sequence)

as we didnt have a chance to finish our film we will need fundings from Companies such as: BFI, Funding, Lottery, BBC, FILM4,  Privert Investors, Film Culture Funds, in addition we need to market our thriller so we would use Facebook,  Youtube which are both a source of  Viral marketing because we want our film to be small budgeted and we will also use the internet as a big promotion and a big source of distribution. We are also using Home Grown Stars who were born and brought up in North London.

Q4. who would be the audience for your media product?

Q5. How did you attract/address your audience?

Q6. What have you learnt about technologies form the process of constructing this product?

you can use different fonts in different sizes up to XL and Xs but also we can use BOLD, italic, and underline, and we can use different colours and highlights, 

we can also put in LINKS, urls and pictures

we also learnt how to use a camera, heres the work from before that we blogged

Q7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what did you feel you have learnt in the progression form it to the full product?

Our final thriller

Skills Audit.

I have learnt a lot in As media during the time whilst making our thriller film, from how to hold the camera to how to use the program final cut pro.

equipment

health and safety agreement

* We signed a health and safety form, which was like an agreement, and we know how to use he equipment.


* This was the first weeks of our experience with the camera and and tripods and how to use the high tech equipment. 


Learning how to use the equipment was the foundation bit for starting our thriller.


we learnt how to:
- use the lenses - focus and auto focus - whichever one suits us best
- using the tripod and how to stand it up and make each leg equal.
- slotting in the memory cards - 4 memory cards.
- the batteries - we always got an extra one just incase.

intertextuality

* We learnt about intertextuality, this is when directors "borrow" each others idea's and use it in their films. we watched various thriller trailers and  compared it to each other and saw and gave examples of how each director has borrowed scenes off others and put it into their own film using their own interpretation.

female villan idea

     * we gave ideal idea's for our thriller, each person gave lots of ideas and thoughts for the base of our thriller, we got various ideas ( cannot include it all) but we even took into account of ideas about potatoes.

180 degree rule

green eyed girl idea

We've also learnt about the 180 degree rule, which meant that if one shot was taken on the right side all shots in that scene should be from the right shot, and the characters should be 180 degree's apart.

our interpretation

experts doing sounds

We made our own sounds for our own interpretation but before that we found out that not all sounds on the screen are made then and there they have background people to make extra noises which is then put over there to fit in the scene.
so, then our group made our own interpretation and sounds of our own to put into a practise thriller, so we can have a feel how its like to do this for a real film or thriller.

arlington thriller made my group 2

here is our interpretation, Hasan did the filming, me and rochelle did the sounds, then we uploaded it on final cut pro and then put them together to make our final piece: 

then we made a prelim and made a practise thriller.


and then also evaluated my prelim.

( i did the interview because i was away from my groups prelim)

































then we started filming and planning.




















FILMING:

i have learnt a lot in media, and a few things are missing from here, however everything is on the blog if anything else needs to be here. i had great fun working with my group and the equipment and technology.

Editing in final cut pro - adding titles

Sound- narration has been imported in 

Sound has been added properly and and effects have now been implemented. 

Here is a screen shot that we were rendering in final cut pro. So all the clips have been re written into the same format

Sound is has moved and text has been added in. In addition the the sound- narration has been given an echo sound effect

Here are screen grabs showing evidence that we have been editing all are of are clips to make sure it feats in neatly and there is no continuity errors. It was team work effort as we all put in are own thoughts and opinions but props go to Hasan for his amazing computer and editing techniques.
