 Where did ideas come from?
Before we started creating our film of course we needed to come up with some ideas first, we could not go straight in to filming something that we had not a single clue about. So the first thing we done was create a mind map of all the ideas that came out from our group. We came up with two films that we really liked, at first we decided that we were going to attempt to make a spy film and we all thought this was going to be a good idea until later in the process we realized that we could not get together the props we needed to complete this film. So this is why we changed our idea at a late stage and we in the end decided to create a football hooligan film as we felt with the area that we were in with Leatherhead station only being a walk away it would be a good idea and in fact it could actually work. Another way of getting some of our ideas was by creating a questionnaire for our class. This was to help us get a clue of what everyone else in our class thought would be a good idea for location, costumes etc.

How did you use tools like Adobe Premier Elements to achieve something imaginative?
When we were discussing what to do with the titles and credits for our film we really wanted to make them look exciting and a bit like cartoon titles. We knew that the one thing that was going to help us do this was Adobe Premier and that is what it did. Using Adobe Premier we picked an exciting font and made the animations as lively as possible. We made the titles move across the screen in all directions but we focused on not making it look to over the top we still wanted it to look professional as well as fun.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer Analysis

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer Analysis   After watching the trailer to this well known horror movie it is very clear that the film is aimed at the older generation and that there target audience would not be anyone below the age of 15 as it clearly has a lot of graphic scenes that younger viewers would find very disturbing. So I think that the target audience for this film ranges from the age of 18 up to around 25 as these are the ages where your going to get teenagers and young adults who enjoy watching these type of gory, scary films for the thrill of it. right from the start you can see that it is a typical horror film as you see that the film is based around a group of vulnerable teenagers who are going away for the weekend this is a typical stereotype for horror films because a group of teenagers are easy to use because they could be thought as young and helpless. Normally films use voice overs in their trailers to tell the audience about the story or about credit info...

Digital Technology

Digital Technology The software that I used for the construction of the film that we made was adobe premiere. It was very useful throughout the whole process. It helped us in creating a film that looked professional and not tacky. From right at the beginning it was very easy in finding out how to use the software and when you got the hang of it, you were able to use such things as animations, sounds and cropping clips. We used all three of these in the creation of our film. I did most the editing on our film which meant that it was up to me to make the film look professional. As I did most of the editing it meant that I felt more comfortable using the software adobe premiere. We also used YouTube to upload our film and make people able to watch it whenever they want.  For the creation of our film we didn't actually use much equipment. To do the filming we used my Iphone 5s because we knew that it had just as good quality camera as the cameras provided from the school. We w...

How have I improved my conventions of real media texts?

How have I improved my conventions of real media texts? In this post I will be talking about both my projects and how both of them look like professional media projects. For my first project which was my AS it was not very successful with looking like a real media project. It looked very fake and looked like there was not a lot of care taken with creating the titles for example. There were no animations that were involved in the titles they just appeared on the screen and this made it look really poor and uninteresting. However when it came to creating our A2 project my group made it known to each other that we must make the titles make look more interesting. We done this by adding animations to each one. For example on the first title that came up we used a fade in which meant the title disappeared into the back of the screen. Firstly this made it look very professional yet it also helped our trailer appeal to our audience as it made it look like a mysterious action film. The fac...
