THRILLER TITLE SEQUENCE FINAL EDIT

Evaluation

Mathew is a 29 year old accountant who works in the city of london. These are some of the items he carries in his messenger bag. I have put the designer wallet there to show his wealth in which represents our majority ABC1 target audience would have. I have also put in quality sandwiches, and smoothies to show that he only eats good healthy food as he is very active and on the go which is backed up by his gym membership card. However due to the stress of his work he is also a smoker and has a packet of cigarette in there.

I also show that he is upper class by the expensive qwerty pad phone he carries along with reading the daily mail, with car keys for an expensive car and his own house keys. The MP3 player in which he holds if purely for his relaxation and shows he is in to entertainmeant which makes him a perfect upper class audience for our film; he is always fast and on the go like Gabriel, he keeps up with politics reading his newspaper and he has money to spare.

Task 1 Convention comparison

The touch of evil in comparison to my film 60 Minutes

1^st shot the bomb compared to the phone of our shots, I have picked these 2 s

hots because I figure the bomb in the touch of evil is a main part of the film as the phone we are using is the main key prop in our thriller.

2^nd shot the last shot of the man with the women, I am comparing this shot with the shot were me the antagonist is telling the protagonist I have his work colleague which is a female so it relates to that shot in touch of evil as they both look in despair.

3^rd shot when the man in the second shot is fixing the car of maybe planting a bomb, this could be his getaway car or could be his transportation, this compares to our running scene because they are both ways of getting somewhere e.g. the protagonist running to get to the bridge and the man dealing with the car it could have broke down as he is trying to get to a rescue point.

Task 2 comparing a character.

www.imdb.com

I am comparing babe from marathon man and Gabriel from my film 60 minutes.

The reason these to characters have come to mind when comparing is because they simply do a lot of running and trying to get a goal or objective before anybody else or before time runs out. Scenes in marathon man have most of the time have the same intention as 60 Minutes, which is why I am comparing the running scene where babe is running as fast as he can and as far as he can. This character inspired my group to make a character like this because he is a normal everyday guy who has a series or unfortunate events which

come up after he gets in touch with a new girlfriend and brother in a way this compares with my film because the protagonist hasn’t got no trouble until he is contacted by the antagonist calling him telling him he has his female friend. Both these films are a classic Good vs. Evil feature.

The social group for our film is majority males of the age 0f 16 to about 30 I think this because most men that age are into gadgets and electrical appliances, and fancy themselves as a high mature person in the society of their lives.

Task 3

I have an online marketing strategy and this is a step-by-step account on how to construct this strategy.

So

Our thriller film is a low budget student film made by 4 people in a group, this video will be released mainly on the Internet via youtube or blogger, which may be viewed by a global audience. It also will be portrayed in a cinema where our media department and students will be watching; this may also be produced on to DVD so this may also be distributed to our familie

s. I might also send a trailer to loads of friends who will send it to their friends and so on, which will create a atmosphere around the thriller.

Task 4

Cinemas that my film would be shown could be the screen on the

green because it is local and could be shown to a small audience first to get a good review. After is has been shown in a small cinema first it then can be moved to a larger cinema and a well-known cinema like the Odeon across the UK and eventually the rest of the world. Also my film can eventually be shown at festivals like the rain dance film festival and if the film is liked enough it then can go on perhaps to win an Oscar.

Task 6

First of all we had to come up for an idea for are group film so we used websites like google, youtube and imdb.com then we put pen to paper and came up with the basic storyline using a boarder to draw out are shots, we then were introduced to a software called final cut which is used to edit and complete short films which are made by the individual going out to record then importing there stuff on to it which is then placed on a time line which you can cut edit and paste more media, after we had a go at that we were then asked to look at soundtrack pro which is a software for making music which can then be imported to final cut pro and then place on to the film.

After that we then had an introduction to the JVC tape less cameras that we are going to use to record. After that we then learned to use live type which is a software used to make and import credits to your film. Then we used blogger which is an online diary which we used to update each others progress on the individual sections of our group but was also used to help ourselves to see were we was up to in the project.

Task 7 Preliminary task

this is our preliminary

How my skills and my group’s skill have enhanced before and after the final product.

When we were filming the preliminary we had to film a match cut at first we didn’t know how we was going to do it but then as we got more into it we realised how easy it was and done a few in the task for example when I go through the door and we do a match cut there. When comparing the preliminary to the final cut it is easy to see how much we had improved for example when rex is running through London we have various match cuts. We done a lot of planning before we started filming and it was clear to see that we improved so much as the shots we took were more sharp and the match cuts were perfect, also the music we made had a huge impact on the final film.

this is our Final Edit called 60 minutes

Task 8

Evaluation By Nicky Sobota

Evaluation

To give us an idea of how our film would do when put up on site to appeal to our audiences and to get a buzz out, i decided to upload it onto my facebook page.

My group and I worked very hard together co-operating really well to make the film and i thought that analysing external audience feedback would help us before we decid

e to upload it onto other promotive sites like youtube,

or vimeo.

Out of the three times i posted the film on facebook this post received the most views, comments and likes therefore i have decided to upload this one. The audience generally seem t

o

appreciate the film and give

it positive ratings. My group and i were very pleased with the f

eedback and have therefore decided to post our film on youtube to hopefully continue the bu

zz, and to make sure w

e spread it across various medias.

When comparing our preliminary film to our final piece there is a big difference in the steps we took to progressing to the stage we strived to. There are obvious differences between our basic camera work for example. A lot of our work in the preliminary is out of focus and blurry.

Another progression that is visible is our variation of shots in out final cut piece which ranges more than that of the preliminary. The shots match the situation and there is also much better use of steadi-cam. This has allowed us to show our better understanding of shots and enables us to utilise it well in our film.

Another aspect in which i think we really did well in trying to improve is the dialogue in our films. The sound in our final cut is much clearer and and story is more plausible with better acting.

Another feature in our preliminary is our use of live type in creating titles which made our film look a lot more realistic than the preliminary which was shot straight from the start. This was important in introducing our film to the audience and giving the initial detail of our film.

Live type Audit Tutorial

Live Type is a program that is included in the Final Cut Pro suite and is used to create animated title and text sequences for your film project. there are a variety of animations to choose from as well as colors, fonts sizes and backgrounds

Where you are creating a text slate, you first have to decide how animated and customized you want it to look. Go to the upper right-hand box in the Inspector and enter your text. The text will appear in the Canvas as a white, hollow-looking interpretation of your words. It will also appear as a bar in the Time line, representing the length of the clip. From here, you can go to the tabs in the Inspector to adjust the nature of the text, such as its opacity and width. In the Canvas, you can reposition the text to where you would like it to appear on the screen. In the Timing tab in the Inspector, you can change how long the clip will stay on the screen.

Effects are one of the best aspects of Live Type, and often the main reason to use the program. You will again be given a Category menu, which, once you select it, will give you are variety of options. Double-click the ones you want; they will be applied to your text or background, depending on which block track you have highlighted in the Time line. These effects range from the activities of the text while on the screen to simple transitions such as Fade In and Fade Out. Go into the Time line and decide exactly how long you want the text, backgrounds and effects to last on the screen. There should be a nice synergy between all three. Make sure the transition effects do not take up too much of the text’s screen time, otherwise the audience will not be able to read it fully. If you are using a background texture or object, make sure they appear a little before the text, and not the other way around.
