story board

Things i would change if i was to do my project again.

camera
If i was to do my project again I would work on my camera work for instant (holding the camera steady),this would make the film more clear,I could use the tripod to do this.
I didnt have some clear camera shots,maybe if I used like panning angles or shot reverse shot.

sound
I could have had music to make the film more interesting and look like other gangster films.
Fast music to bring more tension to certain scene's.

editing
More shots(fast paced lots of shots)

mise-en-scene

If i could do it again I would remove some of the objects that were not meant to be on the scene's,for example the signs and I wasnt able to do this because the location wasnt mine.

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?

• The secound picture is my priliminary task ,and it shows a three shot of girls talking,but when you look at the picture on top there is a big difference even though they both a three shot.
• The one on top shows the location and the body language aswell,unlike the priliminary task which is done over the sholder.
• So what i have learnt between the two is the different kind of camera angles,and how to show people's different roles in the film.

• By using adobe I was able to change the lightning in the room that they were in,and used to different shots which is close up and two shot,It is easier because you can actualy see both thier facial expressions.



• This is the priliminary task,and this shot is similair to the one above although on this one there is not a proper over sholder shot in the scene.
• Although I managed to change this by in my final film .

• With the first film which is the priliminary task I have learnt alot about different camera angles and shots,and the acting improved aswell.I did this by using more mutured actors and this also helped for the film genre.
• Got to know more about editing and what I could do to make the film better when using adobe and other resources.

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

• This is what I used for editing my two minutes film.
• It has alot of applications which you can use to cut shots,add music,and transitions ect.

• Youtube is an easer way to watch different genre films e.g you can get horror,action,drama,and gangster films.
• It also gave me an oppotunity to learn about the different ways which film are made,I did this by watching different trailers.
• I uploaded my film on youtube to get audience feedback,this helped me for my evaluation task aswell because everyone can see the video and comment,therefore I will know what I can improve on.

• Blogger is used to add post about the project that you going to do.
• This helped me with my on going diary.
• It also helps with being organised,and you cand add other films from youtube which are related to you own film that you are going to make.

• Slide share can be used to add presentation so that u can add them on a blog.
• I used this to add idaes about the film that I was going to make.This also gave me an oppotunity to go into more datails,by using a presentation rather than just a word document.

• On google you can reaserch about the different genres and what you film should look like when  u doing a specific genre.
• This web page also allowes you to get more information about your characters,their costumes,and what they should look like.

• With paint I could add screen graps.
• This help me to be able to explain about my camera shots in the film that I did.



How did you attract/address your audience?

Who would be the audience for your media product?





• This kind of person will probably be interested in films that have some action ,violence.So that will be gangster films.
• They will like to hang around malls,and be shoping in expensive shops,probably be buying clothes that will look more gangster like the way his dressed now and on the opening two minutes film that I made there are people who are dressed like him,so that will attract him,because it will be about people like him.
• Well when it comes to listerning to music,people like him it will probabli be rap and fast hard music,that is why i choose to do the same for my 2minutes opening film.So that it will be more interesting when it appears to them and this will also make him more aware what will be going on in the film.

What kind of media institution might distrbute your media product and why?



This is the script I wrote for my diretor's commentary

• I chose this name because it sounds believeable and more like a production company.
• This kind of comapany involves dancing,music,films and other performing arts.
• So it linked to my own two minute opening as it deals with different media institutions,so it will help with the music aswell..

2

• A production company is a type of company which is in the business of performing arts.
• This company aims to develop and physically produce performing arts, film, radio or television programmes however, in our case the production company will be producing our two minute opening
• The company may also be directly  responsible for raising of funding for the production or may accomplish this through an  emissary.
• The production company may be either a small company or large one ,selling its products to a film studio.

3

• The distributor for my film would be Universal Picture.
• The reason for this distributing company is that it distibuted  films like America gangster,lock,stock and two smoking barrels,this films also link to my own film
• Distributing companies choose a film if it has a unique selling point that would attach fans quickly and the film should have a plot in which a wide audience would be interested in.

4

• The various people named in the titles are the names of the characters as they appear on the screens,directors,sound company,and the director.
• I didnt use any other titles that were not needed ,so that the film looks relistic.

How does my media product represent particular social groups

 

• This image shows a specific social group,which will be people that like violence.
• It could represent young man,and how they get in  crimes.
• The formal clothing also shows how gangster can be professional .
• He is the main character so his appearance to the audience will be that his a male and his the boss,so thts all comes to custume and his

In what way does your media product use,develop or challenge forms and conventions of reali media products?(i.e of film opening)

• Three shot ,I thought it was a good shot because it showed what was going on there.
• Mis-en-sen its in a office,and this is clear because off the desk and the computer.the customs the women is wearing also indicates that she is a working class person.

• Mid-shot-The mid shot off the three people is interesting because you could see their expressions
• The fact that they crowding her also has an effect on the audience ,this could emphasis that she is in trouble.
• 
  

• I used a long shot for one off the gangsters,and this was to show his body language and that he is up to no good,and the fact that he does not come down the stairs, this shows that he is a suspicious character and makes the audience begin to question his motives.This scene is one of the scenes were he goes and gives the drugs to his boss.

• Close up of aimer,to show his importants and his facial expression.To make him intermidating.The fact that he is standing out the door shows that he is expecting something.

• Two shot of the kidnaped girl and one of the body guards,he is standing were the exit is so that tells the audience that men are in control.
• The use of the small room potrays that she is trapt in there and she cant escape.

• This mid-shot is a contrast of what is happening behind those doors.The fact that he is looking that way connotes that he is making sure of what is ding is right.

• The title of the film is all about how drugs can destroy famlies,andI choose it because it tells the whole story line of the film
