The Untold - Final Production

Here is mine and Sophie's final production. Hope you enjoy!

Evaluation Question 1: In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions or real media products?

I have answer this question by a directors commentary, as I think it was the most effective way to answer this question.

Evaluation Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

To answer this question have made a powerpoint, as I thought it was the most effective way.

Evaluation Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I thought that the best way to answer this question was to create a poster on which media institutions might distribute our media product.

I think our media product wouldn't be distributed into cinema's as it would be niche, however it I think our product would get distributed to small cinemas as they usually show niche films rather than mainstream. Phoenix picturehouse in Oxford, it would be a suitable place to show our media product as it shows mostly niche film and not mainstream, unlike the Vue and Odeon usually show mainstream films.

Evaluation Question 4: Who do you think the audience for this media product would be?

Sophie and I thought the best way to answer this question was to ask some of our friend and each other who they thought the audience would be. The video below is our friends and ourselves saying who we believe the audience should be:

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

 I thought the best way to answer this question was by a PowerPoint as it shows clearly how we attracted/addressed our audience. I have also shown how films use different methods of attracting their audience to want to watch their film.

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

For this question Sophie and I created a presentation as we thought it would be the best way to answer the question. We have written at the end of each text one of our names to show you who wrote which ones, to display we distributed the work evenly between us.

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

Below is a link to a website I have made for my response to my media product as I thought this was the best way to answer this question.

Editing

Below are some images of our main task from when we were editing, it shows the clips we used, the sound track and the Foley sound we added in and the video track:

Location Change

Due to the amount of rain, our location of where we were going to film had been flood. However, we had lucky had another location to where we could film our Main Task. Below are some photos of where we film:

Main Task Practice

Below is a small part of our main task The Untold. This is only a practice so we get an idea of what we could do, for example it is too dark so we are going to film it earlier and we will also improve the camera angles.

Story Board

 Below is the drawn story board for our main task:

The making of Coraline and Alice in Wonderland

 I looked at how some parts of the film Coraline and Alice in Wonderland were created. Below are the videos I watched:

One location for main task

The images below is the location to where we are planning to film one of the scenes for our main task. This is to give us an idea of where we are filming so we can plan where the camera is going to be and what type of shots we can use.

Example of a Live Storyboard

The other day we looked at live storyboards so we will be able to create our own. Below is and example of one we watched in class:

The first title sequence we watched was Seven:

The second title sequence we watched was Dinner for Schmucks:

The third title sequence we watched was Coraline:

main task

British Film Institute

Two weeks ago we went and visited the BFI (British Film Institute). The director Corin Hardy came and talked to us about his new film The Hallow. He told us about the process it took to produce the film and showed us some of the storyboards he had done for the film. Below is the trailer to The Hallow and a link to the director Corin Hardy.
