Evaluation, Task 7.

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

I feel that at the start of the filming, in the preliminary exercise our group was blank canvas we all had very little experience using the technology which we needed to make our film. We haven’t just learnt one or two things we have learnt many some were important and some just basic but all put together have helped make our film.

An important thing which our preliminary exercise lacked was a variety of shot types. We realised this when we looked back at it and saw it was very basic and only had basic shot types and only used about two angles. Due to this in our film we made sure that we filmed and placed in it:

-Midshots

-long shots

-long distance shots

-tracking shots

-close-ups

-extreme close-ups

-over the shoulder shots

And high and low angle shots.

We also tried to use the rule of three to make our shots look flattering to the audience. When it came to continuity editing in the preliminary exercise we didn’t have a clue! We got one where we saw an actress walk through a door and even this was very rough. Hence why when we made our film we recorded everything at least twice to ensure we got the right shot so we could make everything flow and look continuous.

There is also allot of Tromboning in our continuity exercise and most of that we cut out when editing, so we made sure we tackled this and you will find that there is no evidence of Tromboning in our finished product!

We learnt allot from the editing and many of the lessons were spent getting used to adobe premier pro. As you can see from out film we learnt the basics, capturing and adding clips to a timeline.

Then we learnt how to trim our clips, so they were tight and clean. When we also wanted to speed things up we used the razor balding tool. It's also quite obvious that we learnt how to transform it into black and white using an effect; we also did have some high contrast shots but removed these as we didn’t believe they fitted with the continuity but at least we learnt how to find it and use it if we ever needed it in the future.

The cross fade effect had been used rather frequently and the fade to black has too. We liked to use this effect and none of the above was definitely not used in our preliminary exercise because we didn’t know how to use them and we wouldn’t have known where to place them to make them look as effective as this did in out film.

Looking back if we had of used some of the techniques we have learnt while completing our project our preliminary could have looked allot better for example: there is a huge chunk of footage where we watch a girl walking to meet her lunch date this could have been easily sped up with use of the razor blade tool.

Not only do I think we have learnt allot since the preliminary, initial exercise but I also think that because we have a basic ability to use editing equipment, software and Dv's we have become more confident. At first we didn’t want to press a button we were not familiar with or edit our work with a tool we had never used before in case we did something wrong, but now we know that we can just undo the changes or improve it to make it look better or fit in with our work. We were also able to help others and use techniques which our friends were using wherever we deemed it appropriate in our film. Before we wouldn't have been that adventerous and would of just stuck to the basic techniques which the teacher has shown us.

It’s also quite clear that more or less every bodies preliminary tasks look very similar, but all of our finished full products look very individual and unique it is because we all discovered and learnt different ways of adding effects, angling things, different shots that work well together and overall different techniques which suited best to out films.

Evaluation, Task 6.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

We have learnt how to use and operate a Digital Video Camera. By this I mean that we have learnt what each button does and how we could use them in our film. The on which we probably used the most besides the obvious play fast forward and re-wind was the zoom toggle. At first on out preliminary shooting exercise we created a 'Tromboning' effect but soon fixed this by practicing before we shot the real thing. We also learnt how to connect the camera up to the computer, via USB. The Diagrams which we researched and labelled during our research really helped us get to grips with the technology and allowed us to feel more confident with it.

Secondly although it may not seem that 'technical' the Tri-pod helped us make our filming steady and clean in the preliminary task we didn’t use it hence why it was so wobbly and jerky.

 

Before this process of constructing our own film opening, I had never used www.blog-spot.com or made a blog post for that matter. At first I thought it was hard work, trying to figure out how to set on up, log-on, view other peoples profiles, friend them, and actually post and edit your blog, but after a couple of times doing this I began to get used to it and know that if I am ever doing a project like this I will used a blog to track my progress. It is interesting to look back on previous blogs and see how far we have come.

The Adobe Premier Pro software is also something which I and other group members were unfamiliar with. I still find it quite difficult to used when you are trying to do something new, find a button or try an new effect because there are so many options, but when doing the basics it is relatively simple and exciting to watch back and see what you have created. By Researching about adobe premiere it helped us because some groups just threw themselves in at the deep end and were baffled about how to edit their film whereas we new little about the basics and understood what some of the buttons did.

Some of the technical jargon was confusing at first, but now we understand most of it and would be comfortable talking about the technical techniques we used in our film.

Uploading a video onto face book and YouTube is also something I had never done, obviously I used them both but not for that purpose. It was useful learning just exactly how to upload a video through them so your friends can access and enjoy it for future reference.

Uploading a Video onto youtube ^^^^.

Evaluation, Task 5.

5. How did you attract/address you audience?

 As we established that our target audience was teenagers, in order to attract/address them we did this list of things, to ensure we captured their attention:

·         Kept our main character, and our two other characters dressed trendy and in clothing which is popular with everyday teenagers

·         Teenagers generally like to be different and the fact that the film holds a female antagonist may be intriguing

·         The settings are believable: a bedroom, and park/forest are sort of everyday environments for teenagers as opposed to if we had used an office and a museum.

·         We had our main character apply make-up (lipstick) before she left the house, which most teenage girls can relate to and holds a sense of mundane realism in out plot.

·         The bedroom was also girly and our character wears lots of jewellery which is something the audience and character may have in common.

·         The fact that we used a mobile phone and used pictures on the shrine which were Facebook pictures were used to hook a teenage audience, they live in a generation where technology is everything and we tried to subtly convey this within our work.

Also in order to atract our target audience, we placed our film on a social networking site, Facebook. From the comments we gained and gathered we knew we would be able to make any imnprovents of their suggestion to make it appeal to them. Also not only did our target audience comment and watch the film but also others did to and offered plently of consttructive critisism so it appeals to them.

Here are some quotes we gained when people viewed our video:

March 31 at 7:54pm ·

Richard Cumpstey good stuff mate! Thought it was well put together, music goes well with the film and I like the black and white theme! In terms of improvements the ending could be made a bit longer and you could fade in and out when changing view from the hills to her walking down the path, but overall good work! Just out of interest what did you have to do for your coursework? Could you choose anything you like?

March 31 at 8:00pm ·

Simon Matthew Turner Thats great dude, music with the black and white was awesome. You could fade out the ending, instead of it cutting out. That's all I can say really.

March 31 at 8:24pm ·

Jodie Murton Well done Aaron that's ace!! Well, well done all of you! :-) It actually made me get goosebumps that music! xxxx

March 31 at 10:12pm ·

The feedback was very usefull and we were glad that people appriciated our work and understood the narrative.   

Evaluation, Task 4.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

Teenagers are the main audience for our media product, they are the ones who feature in the film and who would probably appreciate its ‘teen slasher’ feel. 

Here is a cast study on a group of teenagers; we think are the perfect audience for our film:

They are Lauren and Hannah Smith with their friends John Jones and Mike Davis. They are aged between 15- 16 in their final year at school. They all enjoy listening to popular music which is in the charts and dress according to fashion trends. The girls like to shop in River Island, Top shop, Miss Selfridges, and New look. The boys like to shop in Duffer, River Island, Top Man and Next.

All of them enjoy, shopping, going bowling, going to the cinema, attending parties, and in general spending time with friends at the weekend.

They all tend to rent out films together to watch at the weekend; they nearly always go for horrors like ‘scream’ , ‘I know what you did last summer’ ‘The ring’, ‘Cabin fever’ and ‘The Hills have eyes’  sometimes they go for the comedy horrors like ‘scary movie’. They also enjoy going to the cinema to watch films and tend to go for the latest horror which is out, they all booked tickets to go and watch the horror phenomena ‘paranormal activity’ when it first came out then later ‘paranormal activity’ which they enjoyed equally as much.

On television they like to watch the Vampire Diaries (co-incidentally the screen play is done by Kevin Williamson who also created the screen play for ‘scream’ and ‘I know what you did last summer’. They also like to watch supernatural, Heroes, Friends, Smallville and Hollyoaks.

We think this film would appeal to this group of teenagers because our film, is the sort of thing which they enjoy watching and if it had been produced by teenagers and had teenagers in the task it would very much appeal to them all the more as they would feel more connected with it and more obliged to watch it. Horror is also very much their genre and they like the thrill you get from watching them and the eerie atmosphere they can create.

Evaluation, Task 3.

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

It would definitely have to be a low budget media institution like “Warp” it does actually fit their usually gritty type of film but does not however show or represent social realism in any way, like most of their films do.  Also with its low budget, limited connections and lack of companies to converge with it may not be able to make the film appeal to a worldwide audience or publicize it in the same way a major media conglomerate like “Universal” could attracting worldwide attention and id it was of limited interest to people money loss wouldn’t be a problem to a huge company like this, they can afford to take risks, as opposed to a small company like warp who cannot. Universal may like the idea of a low budget horror film opening, as it could be something which they could expand upon and turn it into a worldwide phenomenon like paranormal activity was.  

Kevin Williamson, the writer of ‘scream’ and ‘I know what you did last summer’ maybe interested in our non-stereotypical storyline and the fact that it is subverted in terms of his storylines. It is something fresh and original that he may like to act upon, as it is something that is different to what he has already done and he may believe that this is what a 2011/2012 audience are ready for as opposed to his late 90’s early 2000’s string of successful films.

Williamson works for Miramax and therefore this is the sort of institution which may distribute our product as it fits the chain of other teen horrors they have distributed like:

·         The Halloween chain

·         The scary movie chain (although humour related)

·         The Scream chain

·          I Know What You Did Last Summer

·         A Nightmare On Elm Street 3

Evaluation, Task 2.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our film contains teenagers; the three members of cast are aged 17-19. The age of the members of the film obviously represent teenagers. The issues raised in our plot of infidelity, cheating and seeking revenge are usually related to an adult audience who have experienced an unfaithful relationship. However it represents the fact that teenagers tend to grow up too fast. Or that teenagers have to deal with the same things adults do but it is just not seen as important because they are young.

We are introduced with a female character who is firstly applying lipstick in the mirror, then places a weapon in her bag. The popular horrors produced by ‘real’ media institutions like ‘scream’ and ‘I know what you did last summer’ usually represent teenage girls to be damsels in distress, vulnerable and helpless. We wanted to oppose this convention by making our female the lead, antagonist, strong-willed and able to defend herself.

 If you look at the picture of one of the females in scream, you can see the panic and a distressed look on her face. Whereas compared with our female character she remains composed, emotionless and calm. Scream was released in 1996 and our film obviously 2011, it can represent the rise of feminism in society and that teenage girls are just as capable of holding a antagonist lead in a horror film and play a convincing role which will scare both male and female audiences.

Evaluation, Task 1.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of a real media product?

As part of our planning we researched the typical conventions of the genre we had selected, which of course was horror. We found these conventions by looking at popular and successful horror films and by including the conventions in our own film we were attempting to conform our product to that of a ‘real’ one. We closely looked at how media producers like Kevin Williamson who wrote the screenplay for  the films ‘scream’ and ‘I know what you did last summer’, of which we looked at the opening sequence of and saw how they conveyed the genre of their film within the first two minutes.  Hence why when we made our own two minute opening sequence we placed in it things which were symbolic in the films, whether it was linked with the setting/location, costumes and props, camerawork and editing, title and font style, the storyline, how characters were introduced or special effects and tried to incorporate them into our own to make ours more realistic. However sometimes we challenged the forms and conventions of a real ‘media product’ – a film by adapting things with our own style or doing the complete opposite of what is usually conveyed in order to suit our purpose, as I will explain:

Setting/location

Our three locations were:

·         A forest

·         A hospital

·         A bedroom, in a home.



By setting our film in a forrest, we created a eerie effect,
 perfect for a murder.



When it comes to forests, yes they are very stereotypical to the horror genre and are used by major film producers to create an eerie, spooky and tense effect. However horrors are set outside in forests at night time rather like ‘I know what you did last summer’.  Ours was in a forest at mid day in broad daylight, and we thought that this didn’t necessary look stereotypical and was quite un conventional to the horror genre and obviously didn’t look like something that a ‘real’ media product would contain. Due to this we decided to add the black and white effect, which made it look dull and gave it the same effect of as if it was night-time, there was more atmosphere. Then again, the fact that it was in broad daylight adds to the fear factor of our film that if our murderer can go out and do such things in broad daylight, what are they capable of at night? Creating fear is obviously one of the main theme’s which is created in ‘real’ media products which follow the horror genre.

The second of our locations was a hospital. Hospitals hold connotations of: death, injuries, patients, psychos and pain. Hence why they are very popular in horrors and are usually used. In films like ‘scream’ and many other horrors they are used towards the end and feature a patient in the aftermath of the climax of the film when they have been injured whilst being caught/escaping from the murderer. However we challenged this by including a hospital scene in our opening sequence, foreshadowing the possible course of the film and the murderous route it’s probably going to take.

The usual safeness and comfort of a home/bedroom is usually turned on its head in horror films. Like in scream the infamous scene when the murderer terrorises a teenager in her own home whilst alone by phone call. We also used a home to feature in our opening but not from the prospective of the victim but from the murderer. We open with our murder plotting against her future victims in her bedroom. This is very unconventional as the murder is usually hidden by mask or costume like in the two films by Williamson however ours is revealed and unveiled to the audience. Whether this is as affective is for the audience to decide but we liked the idea of challenging the usual conventions.

Costumes and props

Most of our props, which added to our mise-en-scene, were extremely stereotypical of horror films

·                    Knives ( seen in countless horror films, a famous one would be ‘scream’)

·                    Red lipstick

·                    A shrine ( non religious- usually used to show stalkers, building up                          photographs and memorabilia of their victim(s)

·                    Mirror, A person is seen staring in a mirror, on numerous occasions throughout the very popular horror film ‘The Ring’.  

By using these we conformed to that of what a real film would include however we also challenged the conventions of ‘real’ media products in the sense that we conveyed things in our two minute opening which are not generally stereotypical of horrors for example: our murderer concealed her weapon in her bag. Usually a weapon is hidden on the persons of the murderer and the audience doesn’t know where it is. This is why we are fearful for the victim that it can be pulled out at any given moment. Or a weapon is clasped in the hand of the murderer as they walk about terrorising victims. 

In terms of costumes our murderer was dressed in everyday clothing, blending in with the rest of the characters (and the rest of society for that matter) we challenged the usual conventions of a film by not dressing our murder in a costume, mask or strange clothing. Although this probably would have looked scary and produced a shocked response from the audience because we only have a miniscule, limited budget we ran the risk of making it look ‘tacky’ and cliché.  Our option of choosing to dress out murderer, what is considered ‘normally’ challenges the usual conventions but also adds that edge, that a murder can easily walk out into society and commit a crime. This made it gritty and realistic.  

Camerawork and editing

It’s not uncommon for horror films to be fast paced, jumping from one shot to another, we tried to convey this by making our shots fast and choppy. Usually most of the camera work is concentrated on the victim/future victims in the film within the opening sequence.  However within our two minute opening there is only a long shot, mid shot, and a very quick close-up of the two victims, then a zoom out of one of them dead on the ground. Whereas for our murderer, throughout the first minute there are a variety of close-ups, extreme close-ups, long shots, tracking shots, mid shots and point of view shots used on her.  This is unconventional and usually all of these shots would be focused on a victim however we wanted to challenge this convention because we felt it important that we represent the significance of our murderer and that fact that the film is about seeking revenge on those who commit infidelity, so the real ‘bad guy’ is the cheat not the murder.

Something else which we challenged was that fact that most horrors in modern times contain a glimpse of black and white or will have a couple of scenes which are purposely placed in black and white for effect i.e. when a character is remembering a painful memory a flashback or having a nightmare. Also sometimes some horror films are so gritty and dull looking them almost looks black and white. We however decided to place our whole two minute opening in black and white; we adapted the usual convention and therefore challenged that of a real media product which usually wouldn’t be black and white throughout ba feature length film.



Here is a screen grab of how out openeing sequence text,
font type stands at the moment.



Title font and style

Our title and font is quite blockish, large and bold. Usually the stereotypical writing for the title sequence of horror’s is creepy,  Minimalistic or traditional . We however didn’t convey this but plan to change this so it does conform to that of a real media product because once we looked back at our work we felt it would look more effective.

Story and how the opening sequence sets up

 Our plot was a simple revenge plot. Someone has been cheated on with an ex partner and is planning to seek revenge on them. We set this up so we see the plotting of the murder and open with a shot of a photomontage of her ex with this new girlfriend. We then track her going to find them, she has obviously been stalking them as she has lots of images of them and knows where they are.

Usually films would begin with the murderer and the film would unfold to find the murder, realising that it was a stalker, an ex partner who wanted to seek revenge and this wouldn’t be revealed until the end, however we wanted to subvert the typical beginning, middle and end framework and start at what would usually be considered the end as we believe that this hooks the audience and entices them even more into watching the whole sequence.

Genre and how the opening sequence suggests it

 The first image or shot which the audience is faced with is a shrine of a montage of pictures with various newspaper article words and phrases covering it like “death” “cheat” “revenge” “attack” “stalker” “killer” “traumatized” “heartbroken” “disappeared” which immediately give the audience an idea that the film is going to be that of a horror. A shot which appears almost straight after is one which reveals the weapons neatly aligned on the bed, knives are not typically associated with another genre and would strengthen the audience’s idea that it is a horror sequence. The next shot of a girl staring into a mirror with a blank look on her face would solidify their idea about the genre.

Popular horrors like ‘scream’ and ‘I know what you did last summer’ tend to lure their audiences into a false sense of security. They do this by initially introducing us to what is considered ‘normality’ usually teenage life or drama. Then of course we begin to notice it is a horror through subtle changes on the mood. This is effective in building up the tension, we however challenged this by not taking this approach as we wanted our opening sequence so be immediately spine-chilling as we couldn’t do a well thought out build-up like that of a real film within two minutes, its impossible.

How characters are introduced

Horror films, which are produced to the mass by major media producing film studios and do very well, usually contain strange looking or masked main characters to fill the role as the antagonist or murderer however our main character was very normal looking and an unconventional murderer/villain. I think that we used this to our advantage because, as noted on my blog, it shows how unpredictable people can be; they may be perceived as ordinary because of the way that they look but in doesn’t mean that what is going on in their mind is necessarily normal. The first shot of our character is a mid-angled shot of the murderer looking into a mirror. This isn’t an unusually way of introducing a character but isn’t common either we picked it and chose to convey this to introduce our main character because it’s different and the antagonist is not usually revealed this challenges the usual form of a ‘real’ media product.

Special Effects

Here is a screen grab of how converted out clips into black and white.

We didn’t use any major special effects in our film, as we were on low budget and were only using rather basic editing programme, adobe premiere pro. I see real special effects are, those used in things like ‘Star Wars’ created by Industrial Light and Magic. These are not so appropriate for horror films. Some horror films do look better without special effects as they look more realistic without things like computer generated images. Within the film ‘scream’ in terms of special effects there were only stunt doubles used. What you could class as special effects what were used in our film is things like cross fades, black and white and slowing down our footage to create tension, other than that by not actually using many special effects we were actually conforming to that of a real media product and what real producers and film makers would use by not using many special effects when producing a horror film.

Evaluation.

For my evaluation there is 7 questions or tasks to complete, they are:

- (1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

-(2) How does your Media Product represent particular social groups?

-(3) What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

-(4) Who would be the audience for your media product?

-(5) How did you attract/address your audience?

-(6) What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

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

I will upload these tasks separately on different posts, in chronological order, beginning with number (1)...

Editing.

For the last couple of weeks now we have been editing our work. We have added sound, text and many special effects to our work. Many things have been changed from our initial ideas and some of our original storyboard drawings and shots now look completely different in real life when visible on the screen. However this is all part of the process of film making and we believe we have only improved upon our initial ideas and made things better. None of it could of been done without the planning and preparation we placed into making our film, which was regularly recorded on our blog and we are very glad we did this as we believe the things we researched, captured, read into and found out about dramatically improved and helped us with our film and over all finished product. We nearly have the finished version, so we thought it would be an appropriate time to conclude with our evaluation.

Attaching the camera to computer + downloading footage.

In order to download out footage to the computer we need to attach the DV camcorder up to it. Here is a diagram which explains how we do that:

Everything is basically connected throught the USB which looks like this:

And we downloaded out footage onto the computer, through adobe premier, by selecting the capure button, selecting our clips and naming them appropriately here is a picture of us working on our editing, getting everything on the timeline.



Last Nights Filming.

Last night after college, we finished the filming. We filmed all of the indoor shots, set in the bedroom of the killer which we needed. We placed the shrine board up onto the wall in the middle of the room, directly above her bed and placed the weapons, neatly aligned at the foot of the bed, alone with the lipstick and the mobile phone, in my opinion we got the mise-en-scene perfect for our film in this scene. There is also a mirror on my wardrobe which the killer stared into, which was very convenient.

Again we got a variety of shots some extreme closeups, closeups, midshots, establishing shots, and one or two long shots, and a pan of the room.

PROBLEM:
An issue occured which was just a silly mistake, I began to record over some of the other footage which I had shot after rewinding the tape and pressing the record button instead of forarding it before pressing record.
RESOLVED?: Luckily nothing major was lost as we did remember to film everything ant least twice most was recovered!- drama over!

Today we are going to upload all of our footage onto Adobe Premier Pro, place it on our time line and begin editing.

Props.

All day we have been sorting out and making props which we need for our film, these include:

-Red Lipstick
-Three/Four Knives
-A Mobile Phone
-A Shrine
-A Red Marker

Most of these are not a problem, I already had a brand new Red Lipstick, A whole rack of knives in my kitchen, Laura has a red marker and we used my mobile phone while filming outside at the weekend, so we plan to use it again.

However the Shrine was the problem, so we created this today. We collected lots of newspapers and tore/cut words out of it like " Cheat" "murderer" "infidelity" "ruined" "dead" "stalker" "miserable" and covered a huge board with them. Then we printed out lots of pictures of Laura one of our characters and Joey another one of our characters. There were a range of pictures of them together so we placed them randomly all over the board, then we out lots more of the creepy newspaper words all over it.

On the top we wrote " Once a Cheat, Always a Cheat!"

This is now finished and we can now use it when we film the rest of our film tonight, inside the house, everything else has also been checked and we have everthing prepared.

Filming Over the Weekend.

Over the weekend, as we had arranged, we met up on sunday and filmed a main part of our film. The weather was lovely (unfortunately, we will be making the film black and white, to give it a gritty feel so the sunshine will go unoticed). We managed to get a range of shots: Long shots, more establishing shots, some close-ups, extreme closeups, mid shots and one or two extremelong shots. Most of which were tracking ones, tracking the main character. We also managed to do some experiementing with shots like zooming in and out of the bag (which contains the weapon) which we wish to include in a morph with this inside the house shot of the bag (which contains the weapons). Finally we even managed to create some humerous outtakes, however irrelivent they maybe, at least we enjoyed creating it :)

Today we have been looking back through our filming, making sure we got everthing and that it matches up the best way we can to the storyboards and also writing down any extrashots which we may want to include when filming indoors, we also gathered some materials for our props, which we will need for the house/bedroom filming.

Filming Towneley.

During to day we have been filming some establishing shots of out second location. All in all there will be three locations in our film, as decribed in the plan.

1. Burnley General Hospital

2. Towneley Park/Forrest/Fields

3. A House/Bedroom.

As we have done number 1, we are moving through them in a chronological order. However we wanted to get all of the filming done today which needed to be done in Towneley but due to two the actors in our film being un available today we decided that we should shoot all the footage we need in Towneley on Sunday ath the weekend. Also instead of wasteing time today we decided to go to Towneley and capture some establishing shots and generally get a feel of where we can shoot and direct things/people.

Here are some images of Towneley and why it was the perfect location for our film.
