Evaluation 7: Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

At the start of the year we was asked to film a perlimary task, on a normal camrea using adobe premier to edit the clips we shot. We had to use simple skills such as 180 degree rule and a shot reverse shot, in our clip you can see we have used both of these. We only used basic editing skills on Adobe premier however things where diffrent when filming our final horror title sequence and opening. When filming this we was able to use A HD camrea and we was able to edit on a Mac book, this was very good and as you will be able to see from the images the final products was much better then the prelimery task we was set. We only new basic skills when we was editing at first however after working with the Macs and using a software called final cut, our skills increased and we was much more advanced which meant our film was much better. The macs gave us a lot more transistions and effects when editing compare to adobe photoshop which wasa very basic programme. The HD camreas gave us much better and clearer footage then the noraml camreas, and with the clear footage and better editing it made our film a lot better. At first it was hard to get used to the Macs but after a while it became easy.

                  These two pictures are frame shots of the editing and the footage on the mac and hd camreas.

These two shots are from my prelimary task of my editing and normal footage.

As you can see these images and the editing are not as effective as the images above that are taken from the Macs.

Evaluation 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

We used a programme called blogger to write down everything we done in and out of lessons. This meant we could keep up to date with all the work we had done. This programme let us keep all our work in order meaning we wouldnt loose any of the work we done which could have happend if we wrote our work down on paper. This site was easy to use and only took a little while to get used to the layout.

This is a picture of me using Blogger on my media account which meant i could access youtube and other sites which i may have needed to make my blog the best it could be. Blogger we was able to use on a normal PC however we had to have a certain account in school to mean we could access the site however their was nothing stopping us from using this at home to do extra work.

When editing our film we was priviliged enough to use the HD camrea which meant we was editing on the Mac-books. this was a whole new experiance for us as we had never used one before however after we got used to it we found it easy to use which helped us los because the software on the sytem called Final cut was very up to date and made out editing really easy and good.

This picture shows me using final cut which was the software we edited on, this was really easy to use after we got used to it and it made our editing better.

This picture shows me using the HD camrea and the Tri pod when shooting a clip, we found this camrea very easy to use, and we felt it gave us a great image on our shots. We had used a normal camrea before and using the HD camreas was not do diffrent, it just meant we had to upload our clips to the Macs not a PC.

This is a picture of the HD camrea we used.

This is a picture of the Tri pod we used which helped us gain steady shots without the camrea shaking.

Evaluation 5: How did you attract/address your audience?

this is our finished film ive annotated it to show how i attracted the target audience.

evaluation 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

demographics:

Age: The age of our target audinece will be between the ages of 15-24, this is because they will be the main people who will want to go to the cinema to watch a 15 cetificated horror film, also they are the most commen people to attend a cinema.

Gender: The main gender i will aiming my film at was male or female. I did not want to aim it at one gender because i feel both male and females will want to watch the film, however males may enjoy it more because sometimes females do not like horror films and are more intrested in comedy dramas or love films.

Class: Our film was aimed at working middle class people because i feel they will be most likely to travel to the cinema, I also feel this class will socialize a lot with their peers and will want to maybe go for a night out to the cinema.

Race: My films is aimed at all races because i do not feel that their is one specific race who will enjoy the film more.

Geographical location: Our film will be shown in the East Anglia and then hoping to expand to the rest of Britain and will be hoping to expand our film to a bigger location hopefully to the whole of the UK.

Physcographics:

Intrests: The main target audinece would be teenages, who are often out sociallising with the friends. This is a commen way off getting groups of people to attend a cinema and watch our film. We also feel teenagers will enjoy the film the most because they can relate and enjoy the film as it is a moden made film which maybe the older audience may not enjoy. The music in our film is aimed to make the target audience jump and keep them intrested in the film the music will add tension for teenagers and will add to the suspence.

Belifes: We want our target audience to belive our film is a true story which after they have watched the film will keep them scared and talking about our film. at the start of our film we have a reall 999 phone call giving them straight away knowlege that it is a true story.

Values: Our opening must scare the audience because they realise it is a real story and this acctually happend.

Target Audience Research.

For my target audience research i created a questionaire that relates to our own film, to see how they reacted to watching and so we could get feedback on their thoughts, therefore meaning we could improve our film if needs be. this is the survey we created to get feedback on our first draft of our film: 

1)would you watch the horror film after seeing the title sequence and opening scene?

2)what do you feel we could change to make it better?

3)does the story line make sense?

4)do you feel the genre is easy to recognize?

5)does the music fit well with the shots?

6)do you feel their is enough shots/shot types?

7)have we edited the footage well?

8)what do you feel is the best part of our film?

on this we got some very good feedback which we then took, and improved our film as much as we could so it would appeal even more to the target audience.
