Final Cut - COMPLETE!

Voice over for our film

 
Here is the voice over for our film. It explains why we chose to do each part in the film.

Evaluation #8 - Audience Feedback

Here is our audience feedback that we collected. We gained some really good opinions from others which is good for our future filming as we will know what and not to do in our next film. Some told us that the font could have been slightly different, and others said that using the terms, "STARRING" and "CASTING BY" may make us loose marks. So all these pointers are all great for us, as we will be able to improve on these for next time.

We posted our film on Facebook so that we could get feedback from a wider audience, and this is what we received.

Evaluation #7 - Improvements from the Preliminary task to the Full Product.

Back when we made our prelim task, we had little knowledge of how to film in a way in which would look reasonable professional. We had little variety of shots, and scene change. We didn't include any other special effects, and the editing was all simple and the same. However, having expanded our knowledge on things that would improve our skills for making our own, we were then able to use so many different effects on finished product. Things like changing the image into black and white, to give a scary look, and cropping the image to make sure what is on the screen is only what we wanted to be there. When linking the clips together, we wanted to make it as interesting as we could, however not distracting. So we had effects like fading in and out, flashing clips to create tension, zooming in to focus on something in particular. Out shot choice was also changed, using many more than previously, and image was no longer hand held, and instead on a tripod, to stop the viewer from being dazzled from the wobbling image.

Here is a video we made in order to explain all this.

Evaluation #5 and #6 - What I have learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product

Point 5 was to put the tags into the video, so here is a screenshot of the process that was carried out to do so.











For point 6 I made a prezi to express my learning's about the new technologies that I have learnt throughout the processes of putting together our film. So here it is. It wouldn't let me display it so I have just had to put the link.

#4 Evaluation - Our perfect Audience member PROGRESS- NEEDS CHANGING

I feel that the perfect audience member would be somebody who is down to earth and has all kinds of interests. There are a selection of STEREOTYPES below. (Just because I have written something about them - does not mean that it is necisarally their personality.)
Here is a photo of a sweet and innocent little girl who could be a potential audience member. However, the genre of the film, and our film in particular is not the type of film which somebody like that because it could be considered too scary. She wouldn't be active on facebook or any social networking sites, and so would be an unreliable source to help get the word of our film around.
Here is a photo of a girl who would be generally classed as a very kind girl. She is an active facebook and twitter user, however because she is such a sweet girl, it would be difficult for her to be engaged by the film. She is a stereotypical 'nice' girl who has lots of friends, but isn't into a lot of these dark movies.
Here is a photo of the stereotypical "nerd". Being a regular facebook, tumblr and instagram user. This would be useful for watching the film because of getting it known and advertising it around. Hashtags are a good way of getting the film known. However, a "nerd" might not be the classic aimed viewer for this particular film, however, I think that it is the kind of film which somebody would like to put the facts together and it would be the kind of film to make you think.

Here is a photo of the stereotypical "goth". I think that this would be a good audience member for our particular media product. This is because it is a darker film. Because of the darkness and creepiness of this film opening, it would end up being a dark and mysterious film. This would be a good audience member for us, as they are reliable with social networking and telling people about it to people.
Here is a photo of a girl who would be seen as popular. She is also smart, and a stereotypically average teenager. She is an active facebook and twitter user, even though she is a sweet girl, she also has another side which is where her main interests lie. For example, if she were to watch our film, she would tweet about it and facebook about it. This would make others interested because they would follow her on certain other social networking sites too, and perhaps want to get involved in where her interests lie.

#3 Evaluatuion - Media Institution

Here is an image of Jerry Bruckheimer film logo. We chose his opening institution  as we thought that the endless road helped to tell our story as is adds to the confusion of where the stroy is going to go, and this company tends to support thrillers and horror dramas, for example, criminal minds, which is an ongoing television series. It is a thriller and has been running for about a decade now. This shows that the Jerry Bruckheimer institution has supported it's thriller features very well. This was the catagory which our media piece fell into and so we felt that this was an appropriate opening logo.













We felt that Warner Brothers would also be able to support us because they are used to supporting particular thrillers. One of the pieces which they have supported is Harry Potter. Although it isn't a spooky thriller, it is a successful institution who seem to also be supporting imaginative pieces, like our own.
