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

Learning comment

From doing this task, I have learnt about how a lot of the tasks I have done have attracted my audience to watch our opening sequence. I have also looked at how the use of Mise-en-Scene and the use of continuity have also contributed to our audience towards our opening sequence.  

Creative task 1- 180 degree rule/ shot reverse shot

During this lesson we experimented with different camera angles and rules. We used the 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot.

180 degree rule

This rule states that there is an imaginary axis between the two characters in the scene. They keep the camera on one side of the axis, so character one is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first character. If you break the line you are "jumping the line" or "crossing the line". If you break the 180 degree rule by shooting on all sides it is known as shooting on the round.

Shot reverse shot

This is a film technique  where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. The audience assume that the characters are looking at each other because the characters are shown facing opposite directions.

Me and my group did two attempts at this the first one was a fight scene and the second was a simple conversation. We decided to edit but not use the fight scene as it was much more complicated and harder to get right. We experimented with both shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. The 180 degree rule was a lot simpler to get right, so we used this in the main sequence.

The fight scene is here:

The conversation is here:


The conversation was much more effective at displaying the 180 degree rule.

We then proceeded to edit the two attempts and we still have not finished as this may take a while to do.

Learning comment

From doing this task, I have looked at what skills I have improved and what new skills I have gained over the course of doing this task. I have also looked at how films in a different way, I have see just how much work and time it takes to create a full film. I have bee table to ee how my skill has progressed throughout the course from my preliminary task to my final product. 

Evaluation- Question 4- Who would the audience be for your media product?

This is a Voki character I created for our target audience of male teenagers.

Voki script

This is what one of our primary audience members would look like, they will be teenagers as it is a coming of age film. The action and crime sub-genres make it appeal to males and not females which is the Voki is a male character. The film deals with the issues of teen trouble and drugs, which are stereotypically associated with mostly teenagers. Drugs are generally associated with male tenagers and not female teenagers which is another reason why the voki is a male. 

Similar films which would appeal to our primary target audience would be Ferris Bueller"s Day Off, Boyhood and This Is England.                  

Learning comment

From doing this task, I have learnt about who my primary target audience is and who I should aim to make my film appeal to. I have also looked at different films in which my primary target audience would appeal to.

Evaluation question 6 from Josh Griffiths

Learning comment

From doing this task, I have locked back at the technologies I have used while making my opening sequence and how I used the technology to the best of my ability to produce creative methods of presenting information on my blog. All of the technology listed here has helped me create my final sequence and write about my product.

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

Learning comment

From doing this task, I have learnt about why certain distribution companies may want to distribute our film and what companies look for in films when they decide which ones they want to distribute. I also gained an insight into the genres which the companies like to distribute the most.
