MoodBoard - Crime

 

 

By this mood board we can see our genre more clearly, by this I mean that we can see what type of scenes and actions you can relate and see, which is more dangerous and evil themed, which this relates our genre, which is crime. 

In addition, by this mood board we can also see the type of audiences, which are teenagers and young adults mainly. 

Overall, we can see that our genre is violent and interested by all the classes, which are working class, middle class and high class. This is because these kind of scenes, which are dangerous scenes, relates in daily life, so our audience can beware of these dangerous situations around the world.

Explain/analyse what you learnt from the process?

In this process I have learnt you should have good communication with group members, because if there is bad communication the messages can cause misunderstanding. 

What went well in the group?

In the group group the positive point is that, when we were working our work couldn't upload, by this issue, we have reacted quickly as a group and changed our plan by making another scene. The editing skills for  the video went well, even though in our group no one was the expert of using the editing for the video. By this everyone in the group has improved their editing skills, and have a but experience with the editing skills. 

What skills have you gained?

The skills I have gained through this process is that by finding and reacting quickly to any problems and how to be patient.

What skills do you need to acquire?

The skills that we need to acquire is how to manage your time and how to communicate well with the group members.

What do you need to work on before filming your opening? How will you do this?

Before filming our film opening we should discuss together as a group and plan it together, by meeting everyone in the group in one place and share each of our opinions and thoughts.

What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product And Why?

What is a institution?

A institution is a company that disperses media product for audience consumption.

Where would institution disperse a film

product?

A film would go to cinemas either nationally or  internationally. However, after being a the cinema for a while it would then get dispersed shops to sell DVDs. 

One of the institution I would distribute my film opening is 'Lionsgate'. 

Lionsgate is one of the successful independent studios. I chose this insitution, Lionsgate, this is because Lionsgate has produced more thriller movies, which is the genre we have chosen.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression fromit to the full product?

Well with the preliminary task we had only just found out the names of different camera shots so when going into making the preliminary task we just wanted to use as many different shots as possible and sort of make it look all right along the way, we were also very eager to start filming so we did sort of rush writing the storyboard. 

However we did learn from this when it came to our main production as in stead of getting straight into creating the storyboard, we started planning different ideas for the story line as we wanted it to be the strong point of our movie and we also started thinking of similar movies, which is related to these genre, which is crime thriller. 

Krupa and Vithusiya: Evaluation 5

How did you attract your Audiences?

  

The colour if the poster of our film opening contains black, gold, red and white.

The colour black connotes danger, evilness, darkness, which all these are negatives point of views, which means this shows that this film opening is related towards negativity and danger.

The colour gold suggests power. This means the film opening is to do with power and jealousy. The colour red signifies blood and danger which implies that the film opening is about murder and loads of blood being shed. The colour white suggest innocent which can also mean that someone innocent might have been murdered due to some problems.

We created a poster of our film opening for marketing strategy. The image above shows the person lying down on the floor, where her expression is blank as she is dead. This suggest that she was killed brutally, as we can see from the blur images of the person in the background.

We have chosen the location of a mysterious road because stereotypical it is said that people are killed in an unknown road where there are less people, so this could connote that puja might be walking through this unknown road and when was killed.

This film product will attract our main audiences, which are teenagers and young adults, this is because mainly of our genre, which is crime thriller. This is aimed at all classes and genre, because the characters in the film are from different backgrounds and experience extraordinary events which happens in everyday life. I think due to its content and independence it's probably  a film you're most likely to see more than once, this is because is similar as the ordinary life, which this makes the audience attracted, so they can see and know what happens in real life.

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

During the creation of my media product, an opening sequence i've learnt a great deal about technologies and they have helped and improved my media product.

1)  CAmera

This was the most important part of technology, which we was using. At first I wasn’t sure on how to use the camera, because I DIDN'T have experience with cameras before, because of this I was STRUGGLING a bit at the beginning. Then later I got time for using it and learnt techniques, which at the end by practicing with my camera I CONFIDENTIALLY used it well. 

2)    photoshop

photoshop is one piece of software that we tried using to complete our production logo. we found this quite tricky, this means i found photoshop extremely hard compared to other objects. therefore, at the as a group we have made our production log in final cut.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Gender

uOur movie starts with females workers working in an office, where is opposite to the stereotypes, which this means, that usually females are represented not as workers, but males are, where females are generally as housewives and do domestic works.

Costume

uCostume is that as you see the movie we can see Pooja wearing all black ,which the colour black represents evil and darkness, which means that the situation is serious and bad. 

uThe next character called Olivia wears red, which is the villain this is movie, which the colour red represents also evilness and blood. 

Ethnicity

uIf you see in our movie, most of our characters are from south Asia, this stereo typically, south Asians are represents as good in education, such as having good jobs, such as officers, doctors and ect. In this case as the stereotype all our characters are playing a good job, which hare officers, 

Introduction of the villain

uThis scene where the villain has introduced it shows clearly that the person is defiantly the villain, this Is because the villain is wearing everything black and the room is dark too, which means and creates darkness, and shows something serious and dangerous is happening.

Primary Reserach

Primary research questionnaire

We had asked the following questions to people find out what their favourite genre drama was and what to they accept from those drama to help us know what age group our drama will be for and how we can match their expectations. 

The following question we asked were:

• What is your favourite Genre Drama
• Gender
• What is your age
• what would you like to see in an opening of thriller/crime movie

Audience Analysis

overall from the answers we got we found out that most people would go and watch a film because of the story plot and the violence in the movie. Most of the people had chosen more of killing and detective as their favourite, such as "skyfall and “Shooter”, because these films have a lot of violence, blood scenes and killing scenes. Many of the students also prefer quick action and explosion’s because this is what grabs their attention and makes them want to see more. people over 20 preferred the characters and what they are capable of.They also prefer the story plot as well as actors in the movie, on how good the actor play’s the role as their character. We took this information that we had gathered and got into consideration and decided and use it to help us with our film opening.

Tavanna: Evaluation Question 6

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

How have you found the filming process?

The filming process was quite challenging because you had to make sure that the audience had the same view as you, despite the cameraworks. ( Stuart Hall preferred reading). For example, match on action is not easy to shoot but with adequate editing skills this could be fixed.

What have you learnt about recording and editing sound?

Recording sound is also quite challenging because you have to make sure that the audience hears the dialogue clearly despite any extra background noises. Especially, if you are based outside. Editing sound is also quite challenging, because with copyright free music (Bensound) you have to make sure that the soundtrack fits the theme and the actions of the scene. For example, in a thriller, you would play a fast paced music in the minor key. An example of the is in the movie ‘Jaws’ when the shark is near.

What equipment and programs have you used ?

The equipments that I used were:

• A tripod
• A camera
• Computer (keyboard, mouse…)

The programs I used were:

• Youtube
• Wevideo
• Powerpoint
• Adobe premier
• Bensound
• Easily
• Prezi
• Voki
• Storyboard that
• MIcrosoft word and powerpoint
• Powtoons
• Glitter text
• Gamefroot

What is the process you went through  to create your product?

When creating our media product, we had to go through the  processes of planning, editing and evaluating to ensure that our media product was complete up to standard.

What files have you had to use to transfer media?

I used google docs to transfer files to my blog. This is because it is quite easy especially when your pc or media device is based around Google.

Have you used any digital effects on your sounds and images?

I have used ‘Wevideo’ to portray sounds and images in my production log. This is an easy and creative way of presenting my work.

How have you published your work on the internet?

I have published my work on the internet through exporting videos to youtube and the embedding unto the blog. I have also used links on my blog to the desired website in order for readers to see my work.

This was an effective way to create my storyboard.
