Evaluation - Question 3

Evaluation Question 3 : Media Institutions



Evaluation - Question 2

Evaluation - Question 2

'How does your media product represent particular social groups?'

All media texts are representations of reality. This means that they are made, written, framed, cropped, captioned targeted by their producers and that they are just different versions of situations in real life.

Representation most commonly used are:

  • - Gender
  • - Age
  • - Race
  • - Disability

We in our opening have decided to represent the social group of teenagers. We have decided to use the partys that they attend to be almost a motif in the film. 

We represented the teenagers in a negative aspect as it was a party and there was drugs and alcohol involved. The teenagers were portrayed to be dead and also some un-conscious. We chose this as it is very normal and everyday for a party to happen. Kids are going crazy and having a very good time. No one knows what can happen when your not thinking straight. That is why we chose this as a topic and a good base to do a thriller movie about a mysterious teenage murderer. 

Bellow are some screen grabs of our thriller opening:

Here is one of the teenagers who is unconscious. You can tell as she is still awake however does not know what is happening.

Final Film


Rough Cut Feedback


As you will see in our Final Cut, we have taken all the criticisms in this comment and improved our thriller opening. We were also glad to see that the critic loved one of our favourite scenes, when the character peeks through the blinds and the audience get the first view of a dead body.

Final Stages Of Editing

Our final stages of editing involved lots of time. The three screen grabs I am about to show, show this. 


This screen grab below, shows music integrated into the footage:





This screen grab below shows, a part of the title sequence integrated into footage. They also include cross dissolves:



This last screen grab shows a small part of our opening that doesn't involve any part of the title sequence:


Thriller Opening Complete

Today, 18:09pm, we have finally finished editing our thriller opening. We have stayed extra after college in order to add sound, and effects into our opening. An example of some of the effects we have added into it, are: cross dissolve and title sequence. 


We are happy that we have finished before the deadline, and now feel like a big weight has been lifted off of our shoulders. 




Below, is a screen shot of the completed version of our thriller opening, which is on final cur pro:

Sound

Sound

As our film is based on a party atmosphere our proposed idea was to use fast paced dramatic music. Our whole film will not include dialog.  it will consist of non-diegetic sounds. with access to apple macs at home and music software at the palm of our hands, we have played around with genres such as, dub-step, disco, R&B, Grime and many others to come up with the perfect sound to use.

Editing Process Of Final Copy

Editing Process of Demented

These are pictures of whilst we were editing our footage. We are working hard as a team to see how we could add effects to make our opening look much better. We are testing out effects such as slow motion and time lapsing to see how it adds more emotion into the opening.


This is a picture of all our footage put in order onto the timeline.


This is Tanvir and Mark watching our footage to see what can be added or changed in the opening.

Rough Cut


Louisa told us there are some elements of our rough copy that need to be tweaked, however she was overall pleased with everything we had done. 

We still need to finish editing, and then add other things, such as the title sequence and music.

First day of editing

At the moment we're editing our thriller opening. Today we're reviewing the basic clips and putting them in order firs,t to make sure that everything is cut and slotted in the right place. On our second day of editing we will begin to add effects and music to our opening.





One thing we think we did great whilst filming was that we shot scenes from different angles and places. Things we think we could of improved was continuity and holding the camera steady.

One Great Picture



As a group we believe this one picture shows our togetherness as a group. It shows, me (Mark) and Abigail acting, whilst Tanvir is filming, and Mohammed is taking the photo. This exact scene went into our prelim, so you have to give credit for the picture. 


Also, the picture is special because you can see the orange in mid fall, while the bag is still shaking. 


Concentration can also be seen on everyone's faces. 

Small Ghost Parody

This is a small clip of me (Mark) and Mohammed in a small ghost clip. We did this, because we had time to spare, and it helped us practise our editing skills. We did it all (filming and editing) in the space of 45 minutes, so the actual film isn't too good, but it also helped us with the angle practise that we needed to work on. 


Here it is: 



Angle Practice 3

High angle shot, small clip: 



Angle Practice 2

This is our footage of a worms eye view of feet walking across a room. It isn't edited up to a great standard, as the main focus of our plan was to practice filming the camera angles.
