Evaluation Task 8 - What targets will i set myself for next year, when making trailer?

Targets for next Year
My targets for next year are going to mainly be on the editing side of things, so i am going to make a better title for example which could be animated to make it more like a real movie would be. I think I would like to stick to action genre because you can do so much stuff in action which could make it a lot better. Also I would like to get better shots when filming, for example if we incorporate a fight scene we need to get closer shots so that it looks more intense for the audiences eyes. This will also make a lot more exciting as well just because if gives it more energy to the fight scene. Also more sound effects would be better as well because then that will make the fight scene more realistic because then you can hear the punches more clearly.

Another thing is to get a better quality camera which is better than using a phone, it will make the trailer look more like a real trailer where the audience can see more clearly and make this. Another thing is to stay on top of my coursework because i had so much to catch up on that it affected the time of doing the actual filming, which could of been done earlier leaving s more time to edit.

Evaluation Task 7 - What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

What do I feel I have learnt in the progression from it to full product?


I have learnt a lot during the progression of making the film from scratch, for example we have learnt a lot of camera angles and know how to use them effectively making the film look better. Also when using the editing software you can cut them to make the clips quicker so that it looks more fast paced and more like an action film rather than a slow romance film. Also I have learnt a lot about genres of films and what kind of story lines they have in them for example action usually have a story line where either someone is wanting to get revenge on someone for killing their family member, or it a special ops soldier is hired to take out a terrorist group by himself and manages to get the woman of his life at the same time. Also she gets kidnapped by them so he has to go save her before she gets killed.

In a romance film it would mostly be a man meets a girl (or other way round) then they spend a lot of time together which then makes them fall in love with each other, however there is something wrong with their relationship which then makes them split a part. After about a week one of them manages to get the other back then they live happily ever after.

I also learnt a lot about technology for example I have learnt a lot of techniques on the editing software that we have used. For example on the adobe premiere there is a lot of tools which is on there and it can be very confusing if you have no idea what you are doing or if you are new to it.

If you want to add some affects to the project as well then you have to drag them into it as well, which can be frustrating at times because it will either not go in the right place, or it won’t load and then will suddenly appear in the wrong place. However i managed to get used to get use to the controls and technique of the software which led me to creating some good production credits.

Evaluation Task 6 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of this product?

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

From the process of making our product i have learnt a lot of techniques on the editing software that we have used. For example on the adobe premiere there is a lot of tools which is on there and it can be very confusing if you have no idea what you are doing or if you are new to it. It is not very straight forward either because you have to load up the file from my documents then drag it onto the timeline, it wouldn't be very easy to figure out if we didn't have the teachers help to start us off. If you want to add some affects to the project as well then you have to drag them into it as well, which can be frustrating at times because it will either not go in the right place, or it wont load and then will suddenly appear in the wrong place. Over all i can see that technology has improved a lot over the years and has allowed us to many impressive things that we wouldn't be able to do back in the early 90's. For example we can enter our text and improve it by using other programs such as Photoshop.

On the other hand the camera that we used was a phone which doesn't have the best quality camera but was still able to produce a 1080p video which is surprising, because back in 2005 that was not available to TV or YouTube. so it shows how much better technology has gotten, if a phone which is used for calling can make a 1080p video just like a video camera, which is its main job.

Evaluation Task 5 - How did we attract the audience?

Evaluation - How did we attract the audience?

We attracted the audience from making annotations on the video, they explain how we made the video and what we struggled to do. Another thing we did is put tags on the video so that if that word is searched up it will then show up on the search list and more people will then be able to view the video.

Evaluation Task 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?

Who would be the audience for your media product? 


The film is a 12 rated so it will mainly be for teenagers because they are the ones that are most likely to watch it because they are into action movies. Their taste could be that they like action or Romance movies, because this is when boys tend to go and watch Action movies and when girls go and watch Romance movies.

They would shop at Tesco's because that is where they would buy food. Also it is a superstore so they can buy TV's, consoles and food there. Also they could say to there friends that they will buy them something nice from Tesco's.

The music that they would listen to is most probably pop or hip hop, because that is very popular, there is a lot of teenagers that listen to pop. However there are some that listen to rock which would be okay for our film. The music that we use is a mix of both kind of. It has some intense music which is a mix.

There favorite TV programs that they would watch would be most probably action shows, For example Flash the TV program would be suitable for the male audience because it has a lot of action in it and it would be good because they like the adrenaline that comes from the show.

Evaluation Task 3 - Narration of the Film

The narration of the film 




What does a production company do? 
A production company is a company that produces the film, they are the ones that make the film and get it known to everyone, they will create trailers and posters so that the film will become more known to the public. They will also try and get synergy involved as well so that they can put their film on other companies products so that it is well known.

The idea of a distributor and who might be and why
A distributor is the part of the company that distributes it to companies around the world, for example Walt Disney studios are the ones that make the films and Walt Disney production are the ones that distribute the film to cinemas around the world and then put them onto DVD.

Where the money might have come from?
The money would of come from another production company who want to get involved with our film, so they would give us a budget, then we spend it on making the film and distributing the film around the world to cinemas, when we are finished with the film they will take a share of the money that we have made because they are the noes that gave us a budget.

Why the various people are named in the titles?
The names which appear in the film are the people that contributed to the film, for example it says Bill Cottee he is only in the film for about 1 to 2 seconds, but the reason for why his name is in the film is because he helped us with filming the film. He was the one that filmed most of the fight scene on the bridge. We don't have any of the jobs displayed during the film because it would look bad, plus it would take the attention away from what is going on in the film.

What our film is similar institutionally? 
Our film is institutionally similar to films like Die hard, this film was similar to our film because it had the same kind of story line as to our one. Also it is like Taken because it does have a phone scene in there.
