Evaluation task 3

OUR ANIMATIC

This is our animatic I believe that the pictures are well drawn but it can be hard to follow due to the minimal amount of pictures taken. The animatic is used to show the story board in a nice slow motion so that you can get a film for the film shown by drawings.

We can relate our film too other films because we thought that if we get little things from other films and change them to make them look unique then it could be a very good start to a film. we did not get all ideas from other films, but the ideas we did get we changed so they didn't look anything like the the scene we got the idea from. Our film had to appeal to our target audience so we only got the ideas from successful films so that we did not make a bad decision.

Tutorial for Beginners

When I first started using Windows Premier Elements 10 I was not too sure on the basics and I did not really understand how the software worked because the software was new to me. This online tutorial showed me the basics on how to start creating my film and what I had to do when I wanted to begin making my film. Although some of the stuff which was stated in this tutorial I knew already there were things on this clip that I would not have know when I was starting.

Evaluation task 8

Now it has come to the end of the year I am able to set myself some personal targets for next year. I have enjoyed the first year but I know what I have to improve on and what I would do differently for next year when we have to create our trailer.
        Firstly I am not going to do an action /thriller film again, this is because we had to carry guns and things that would look suspicious when we are out filming. Although we are not causing trouble people do not know this so could think we are causing trouble. I believe that an action/thriller is hard to film and there is a lot of detail you need to fit into the film to make the target audience realize the genre of the film. Creating an action film is good fun but it at times took a lot of time to make the scenes perfect as we did not think that some of the shots were good enough.
        The things I would have changed is that some of the scenes do not flow smoothly, they did not have a structure because they were filmed on a different day. This made the editing side hard because you were not able to film the shot again meaning that you had to try and change the film to make the shot fit in to the piece. so next time I know that I will film everything on the first day getting loads of different shot and getting everything filmed to perfection we did not film shots from different angles we just re filmed them to make sure they were what we wanted, some were not what we wanted in the end tho meaning we had to go out and film again.

Evaluation task 7

When we first started AS media I did not know much about camera composition and I did not know many shot types available to us, I would have never know what the 180 degree rule was. Learning these new skills made me understand and appreciate how hard it is to make a film and how you can make a film more interesting by changing one shot. in our preliminary task we showed shot reverse shot when we switched between the two characters, this makes the audience see the character and know who he is talking to but it can also create suspense.Doing this in the preliminary task made us realize that this shot can be used in our real film when we flick between our antagonist and protagonist this shot would have been useless without practice and knowledge of the shot. Match on action was a very interesting and fun shot to use as it gives you an extreme close up on a characters prop or body part. During the film we used this when we wanted to see the villain load his gun. Doing this made the audience feel tension and we believed that it would fit in with the scene we know that from our preliminary task the whole shot had to flow smoothly and the editing had to make sure that the scene before and after had to fit in with this shot. The close up had to fit the whole shot in without getting anything unnecessary in the scene otherwise the audience does not see what you want them to see.  We learnt alot about camerawork and different shot types which allowed us to vary the scenes in our film making it look unique. We wanted to use as many shots as possible and make sure that all the scenes fit in with the start of our film to make sure the audience were able to enjoy the film as much as possible this was done well due to the shots and camera work being taught to us at the start of the year. I believe I have learnt a lot from the beginning

Evaluation task 4

This is our target audience, they are teenagers and a mixture of both boys and girls. We believe that these people will watch our film because boys like to put themselves in that situation as they feel the danger and the aggression. Also boys are stereo typically know for action films, the people I took a picture of all said they like action films. Girls believe that in an action film there is allays romance and the girls do not want the lovers to die  We have John on the left, John said that his favorite genre was action, thriller. John said that his favorite film was Casino Royale, this was because he enjoyed all the action and he thought that the fight scenes we shot well it was fast paced and it flowed smoothly, he shops locally in the shop Waitrose. John regularly buys films once a fortnight from his local blockbusters. Next we have Sarah on the right of John. Sarah said that if she were to go and watch a film it would be an action film she said she loves all James Bond films as they build up tension and the romance between some of the characters makes her want to watch on to see what happens between the characters. Sarah shops at Sainsburys and if she wants a cheap shop she shops in Lidle she said she has love film so that she can keep up to date with the latest films. Next to Sarah we have Lydia, Lydia said she is not as into films but she does find thriller films very fun. She said that her favorite film she has watched was Shutter Island although our film is an action film a lot of the characteristics in a thriller are similar. Lydia said that Shutter Island was filmed well and had a lot of interesting films that kept you on the edge of your seat. the film had interesting scenes and the whole thing was filmed in an interesting area. Lydia shops in Sainsburys and buys or watches a film once a month as she is not as keen as the others. Finally we have Ben on the right, Ben likes watching films the most out of the people in the picture. He watches a new film every other day and he said that he could not live without action films as he is able to imagine being in the film and he feels that when watching them he can relate it to real life, Ben said that James bond is his favorite action film because the whole set and the people involved are "amazing" .
        From what the people I asked said i believe that making an action film was a good idea because these people said they would watch an action film over any other genre. Also i believe that we will be able to target a larger audience doing an action film because younger children always love a fight so this genre will appeal to them. Also action films have characters involved they are able to relate to.
