Preliminary Film Evaluation
For out preliminary film we were set the task of producing a short film with the following requirements:
Here is the final storyboard showing the rough position of the actors/camera and describing the type of shots used.
- Someone entering a room through a door showing continuity
- Someone sitting down
- A conversation taking place
For this me and Ross decided to use the idea of a poker game. We made a storyboard planning out the shots we were going to use and then developed these and improved them.
Here is the final storyboard showing the rough position of the actors/camera and describing the type of shots used.
Our film follows the guidelines set but was made into a longer scene that could be built upon for our film opening coursework. It uses many camera angles and shots such as a very high shot to imitate a CCTV camera and a rotating pan shot as well as over the shoulder shots and close ups. The main success of the film was that we included lots of different camera angles and shots and tried to be creative in the shots we used. One failing is perhaps some of the shots didn't work as well as they could have due to continuity with the lighting ect. but we couldn't re-film them because of the time limitations. The continuity in the lighting wasn't so successful because of the light in the room and how it was too dark for some of the shots so we had to change the lighting however some shots show good continuity, for example when Tim enters/leaves the room. When filming I need to work on using lighting. Also when editing I could work on using more sound effects or experiment with music. Having created a magazine cover and a film i feel more confident with a film because i think this was more successful and allows me to be more creative with my coursework.
Preliminary Magazine Evaluation
Our magazine follows most of the typical conventions of a magazine. It uses a simple colour scheme and a mid shot of a person on the cover. It also has a bar code, smaller pictures and cover lines. The picture on the cover has someone in the background which breaks the convention of having one person standing out from a background. The colour palette suits the target audience because its about lutterworth college and uses the colours that are used on the logo. The cover lines entice the audience because they make them want to read the magazine to find out more about the stories in the magazine and competitions that they could win. By making this magazine cover i have become more confident at using photoshop.
Magazine Evaluation
Our magazine follows most of the typical conventions for a magazine. There is a picture of people on the front and a mid-shot is used. Also is uses a colour scheme of only a few colours. There is a masterhead at the top and smaller pictures and cover lines at the bottom. It also uses many different layers. It doesn't break any conventions. The colour pattern suits the target audience as it uses bright stand out colours such as red and yellow that suit the audience for a rock magazine. The cover lines entice the audience by refering directly to the reader, such as '25 metal anthem you must own' and 'how to survive rock 'n' roll'. This makes you want to find out more and read the magazine. The Magazine appeals to regular readers because the masterhead with the name of the magazine is overlapped by the picture of the band. Although you can't see all of the name of the magazine regular readers will know what it is. I have learnt that to produce a successful magazine cover it must follow the most of the typical conventions for a magazine and must make an audience want to read the magazine. I have also learnt how to produce a magazine using photoshop.
Film Evaluation
This scene is typical of a TV soap because it uses the normal conventions for a soap, such as mid-angle shots and continuaty between shots. The camera angles used in the scene are mostly mid-shots. The recreation was quite accurate although we didn't manage to use all the camera shots from the original scene. The sucsesses of the project were that we had practise at using the cameras and with using different shots and angles, and using continuaty between the shots. We Also had practise at editing a project together. We also learnt about the importance of continuaty between shots and had practise at using this technique. The lighting used in the scene wasn't very effective although we were limited as to the types of lighting we could use. I think i still need to work on the use of camera angles but my editing skills have improved. I now feel more confident using different camera shots and editing them together.
