Evaluation - Q3 (Anna McConnell) (GROUP)

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

In terms of our marketing campaign here is our film poster presented on the side of a bus and on an ad-shell. This use of digital and static marketing is vital in capturing the attention of our target audience due to ideas that those of the 15-25 demographic are more likely to use public transport thus more likely to be exposed to this sort of advertising.

Pyro - First Cut (Group 7)

Here is the First Cut of our thriller opening, of which we showed to various members of our target audience to gain feedback which could be utilised for our final product.

Construction: Vlogging/Bloopers/Editing (Group Work)

Here is a couple of clips that we took during our filming and editing stages of our thriller opening's construction.... Enjoy!!!!!!

Vlog 1 is a short clip of one of our shots from our thriller opening where we used a skateboard to help create the same panning effect as if the camera and tripod were placed on a camera dolly, which we did not have while shooting this shot.

Vlog 2 is a clip of our group using the microphone to help us create a sound for the start of our thriller opening where our character blows out a match, we thought instead of wasting time finding a correct sound from a copyright free source we decided to record our own sound using the microphone and one of us producing the sound - as we felt this would make the shot more realistic.

Vlog 3 is a clip of our group in the stages of the editing process, here we are trying to establish a type of sound for our title of our thriller that would help to convey the conventions of a thriller more clearly for the audience.

Vlog 4 is a clip of one of our raw pieces of footage from our  filming process, we didn't really use this  clip in our final piece because we found that the brightness for this shot was too bright for our thriller opening and we found that at some points within the clip the footage wasn't continuous and at some points in would 'stick' - obviously where the skateboard that we used dipped into the partitioning between the floorboards.

DSLR Settings - Group Work (James O'Rourke 6124)

Here are some tips for when people film at night

Rule 1: Never go higher than ISO 1600 or the image gets 'Noisy' (Note the fussy part in the after photo, this is most likely the result of using too high of a ISO)

Rule 2: Keep your shutter speed between 30 and 50

Rule 3: Aperture should be between f1.2 and f5.6 (f2-f2.8)

Rule 4: Don't shoot in low light. Use all available light in shot.

For our thriller opening we are going to incorporate mostly rules 1-3 because we believe this would give us the correct type of atmosphere for our thriller opening. We won't consider much of rule 4 because we do not plan to shoot our thriller opening in darkness or in very low lighting. (Although we may consider shooting different shots using contrast between light and dark sections)

27.Planning: Shot List (Group)

26. Planning: Moodboard (Group Work)

Thriller Moodboard

Here are a few images in order to give an idea of the themes and imagery used in our thriller opening.

25. Planning: Costumes and Props (Group Work)

Props 

Costume 

Example - 'The Sixth Sense' (Shyamalan, 1999)

As you can see here they use a high angle shot to make child look more vulnerable at this point in the film and the red colour of the child's jumper indicates danger.
