P1-22 INTRODUCTION 2012 http://22introduction12.posterous.com Most recent posts at P1-22 INTRODUCTION 2012 posterous.com Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:33:00 -0800 Evaluation - Laura Norton http://22introduction12.posterous.com/evaluation-laura-norton http://22introduction12.posterous.com/evaluation-laura-norton

I believe that the techniqual quality of our teaser trailer is good as we were able to achieve everything we wanted when it came to ideas. I felt that our ident was very successful as it was simple but yet effective, it included an image of a man with a bow and arrow shooting at a target. The target would then slide across the screen with a sound effect of an arrow. I felt this was effective as it related to our production company name and the timing of the sound effect was accurate. We used four lots of text throughout our teaser trailer; I found this added tension to our trailer and also split the different shots up to help the story of the trailer. These were fairly easy to add to the trailer but also very effective. In our trailer we have a variety of music this was added by selecting different pieces of garage band clips and combined them together. We did have Foley sound (moves) in our trailer but we felt that it worked better without them. I also think that our editing of the trailer worked well as the transitions between each shot were equal. We also managed to keep our trailer under the twenty second time limit and still included everything we wanted. During filming we wanted to include a variety of camera shots, we manages to do this by using handheld shots, medium shots, long shots, extreme long shots and high shots. We used handheld shots to add more tension to the trailer and also to add mystery to the trailer and so the viewer doesn’t know who the victim is. I felt this idea worked well as it attracts the viewers’ attention. If I had to change anything about the trailer it would be the end of the sound track as I thought that is wasn’t as good as we could have made it.

The genre of our teaser trailer is horror; we wanted to make it apparent to the viewers by making the narrative clear by relating the tittle and characters to the genre. The characters were two opposite characters, one was an innocent young girl and the other was a dark and dull villain. The micro elements in our trailer also helped set the genre such as the handheld camera work, the cutting of the trailer (editing), the shaft of light and the location it was filmed in.

First viewer:

1.       I would definitely go and watch this film at the cinema as I want to know what happens next!

2.       Is the genre horror?

3.       I think the audience for this film is probably people who really like horror films, maybe younger people or males.

Second viewer:

1.       I don’t know if I would as I don’t really like these types of films.

2.       I would say horror but I’m not too sure as I don’t really watch horror films.

3.       I would say most teenagers

Third viewer:

1.       Yes it looks very interesting

2.       Horror?

3.       I don’t really know!

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 07:31:00 -0700 Teaser Trailer Final Product - Chased http://22introduction12.posterous.com/teaser-trailer-final-product-chased http://22introduction12.posterous.com/teaser-trailer-final-product-chased

Our task was to produce our own teaser trailer. We chose to create a horror trailer for a film named 'Chased'. We choose the genre horror and we think that our teaser trailer reflected it well.

We used typical conventions of a horror film such as a villan and a victum. In our trailer we didnt reveal much in the same way a teaser trailer wouldnt but enough to get the audience attention. We shared the roles when filming and editing the trailer.

We think overall it went really well and we produced a good teaser trailer. However if we had to improve it we would of added more sound to the end of the trailer to add more tension. All together we thought the final product was really good and we worked well as a team.

We were asked to begin filming for the Teaser Trailer for our film 'Chased'. 

We managed to get a variety of shots to cover the ideas we put on our storyboard. We effectively used costume and different shot types to create horror conventions. We felt that the acting and filming went well, and we have got the shots we needed to create an interesting horror trailer.

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 01:49:00 -0700 Storyboard Task http://22introduction12.posterous.com/storyboard-task http://22introduction12.posterous.com/storyboard-task

Our task was to create a storyboard for our thriller teaser trailer, named Chased.

We had a character running through the woods, being chased by a person in a dark hoody. We are going to use handheld camera shots and long shots to create the effect of someone being chased.

It also includes our ident and our other ideas for the trailer, including institutional information and titles.

The costume that we need are a dark hoody, and just regular clothes for the running character.

We don't need any extra props.

We thought the task went well and we think we have made a very good storyboard.

Key points to ‘Don’t Tell the Bride’ Teaser trailer

·         It uses moving text to emphasise the main points about the previous episodes (plus sound)

·         Voiceover all the way through the teaser trailer

·         Uses close-ups on the brides to show their emotions

·         Adds  tension gradually through the trailer by building the music up

·         Leaves cliff-hangers to make you want to watch the new episode

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 04:09:00 -0700 Logo/Idents http://22introduction12.posterous.com/logoidents http://22introduction12.posterous.com/logoidents

For our task we had to create a logo and ident. We called our production company Target. For our logo we decided to use a outline of a man shouting a arrow at a target board. When creating our ident we had a sound of a arrow hitting a target board then our production name was then showed. We think it went really well and it showed our logo and production name.

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 03:46:00 -0700 Film Noir http://22introduction12.posterous.com/film-noir http://22introduction12.posterous.com/film-noir

For our task we had to create our own film noir.We were given a collection of small film clips and we had to work in a team to put them together to make a short clip. We also had to add filters and change the contrast so we looked more like a film noir film. We think it went really well and worked well as a team.

In this task we were instructed to add foley sound into a chase scene from Point Break. We were given a library of sounds and added them to the scene in Final Cut. We thought we were successful in this task but we could have done it quicker.

Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:09:00 -0700 Lighting task http://22introduction12.posterous.com/lighting-task http://22introduction12.posterous.com/lighting-task

Our task was to create three pictures with different lighting styles. One was to show an antagonist, one was to show a love interest and one was a possed person. We used different lighting skills by using the bounce board which had different colour lighting on. We used the gold, black and white. We think it was really succesfull but could of improved by having no background
