Evaluation 3

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.

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.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

the main audience of my media product are TEENAGERS and young adults from the age of 16 to 27. this is because this age group is mainly interested in crimes and mysterious movies, because this age group prefers surprises, which this make them watch these type of movies. 

Vithusiya: Evaluation 2

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. 

Detective

uThis shows that if you see the detective in the movie has a good posture and a confident tone, which also wears black, this means and shows that the detective is the powerful character in this scene, where has power to find out the problem.

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.

When we were filming our film opening sequence, we decided upon ourselves to use a canon camera and that too with a tripod. To be honest, I wasn’t the most professionally skilled individual when it came to using the canon camera. However, I had some sort of basic camera knowledge and skills on how to use the camera to its fullest potential. This was because of the previous tasks which I had completed I used the canon camera. This benefited me in many ways. In my view point, I do strongly believe using the canon camera was a great match and camera for my opening sequence. This is because it captured the scenes with great quality, this added a touch of professionalism and made it look quite realistic. As well as the camera, using the tripod was another great idea. As it was really useful to film a range of different shots. The tripod also prevented the camera from shaking when filming which was another great bonus. I do believe that our opening sequence would have been quite hard to film without using the tripod. If I had not decided to use a tripod to film it would have resulted in most of the scenes being quite shaky making it hard to watch what is specifically happening in the scene. This would have conveyed a message of unprofessionalism. Which in my case I did not want. As it would have conveyed that we used a hand-held camera. So that our audience feel as if they are part of the scene itself. As the genre of our film opening sequence was crime drama. We as a group did not feel it was essentially necessary to use a hand-held camera.

After filming our introductory task, we used iMovie to edit the work.. In the process of using iMovie, we noticed that this software was the best for editing short clips because they do not require many effects or transitions to be added to them. IMovie was very helpful when we had to edit videos as we didn’t have to change the sound or lighting. This was our first time trying this editing software so we thought it’d be best to use it to edit the video clips since we were not familiar with many software that are used for editing.

In the process of filming, we used websites like Blogger to upload all our research and plan which we had used to help ourselves with our media product. We were all able to share ideas and help each other easily as we all uploaded our own work on our blog. We created posts to back up our media product and also to upload the answers to our evaluation questions.

Choosing many different software and websites to help me present my research and planning allowed me to present my work in many different styles and types. The different software and websites were; Prezi, PowToon, iMovie, and Microsoft office word. Trying some of the websites for the first time allowed me to learn that I can present my work in many creative ways. I knew that only using Microsoft office to present my work was not going to be as creative and effective as what you can create using Prezi or PowToon. By presenting my work creatively, it was easier for me to present my work and get my point across clearly as well. In the time I’ve spent in media, I have learnt to present my work using many different techniques to make it creative which is not only handy just for now but also for the future when I may have to present my work or design any type of presentation.

Throughout my experience in this coursework, I have learnt about many different and new technologies which are involved in the process of making the product. I feel that without some of the software, e.g. Premium Pro and iMovie, we wouldn’t have been able to complete our media product to its high standard today. The new software that we’ve used have made the process of filming and editing the product a lot easier. The software and technologies I’ve used have been a great benefit to me as I was able to try various types of websites and software which I had not been familiar with before. Learning these new skills to use new software will aid me with any piece of work that I do later on.
