EVAUATION QUESTION 6- Audience feedback and comment

Question 6 - Audience feedback and comment

As a whole our feedback from other people helped us a lot, we understand that some of the shots were too dark, and some of the sound too quiet. We also found that people enjoyed our soundtrack a lot and thought it was very effective with our film.

Question 4 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? How will you attract/adress your audience?

Question 3 - Who would be the audience for your media product

Our audience would be teens to adults, the serious theme make the film suitable for anyone above the target age which is 15.

Question 2 - How does your media product represet particular social groups?

 

We chose to have a female main character to change the stereo type of the man being the killer. In the step father the killer is a male, we wanted to try a different approach to a murderous family member.

Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products

In these two shots the above from our film Delilah, the below from Lucky Number Sleven the horizon is brought to our attention by the use of perspective. Both shots create a menacing atmosphere, as if something is emerging from the unknown slowly.

Both these shots use lighting to create a sense of peril around a normal setting/object. The shadows in the edges of the shot and the light in the middle bring our attention to certain points in the frame.

In our film we chose to put our opening credits over black screens, we faded out into black and the title appeared. In lucky number slevin the titles appered in a similar fashion but over the moving film.

EVALUATION QUESTION 2:Does your media product represent particular social groups? REPRESENTATION

Question 1, Evaluation

behind the scenes

This was our first title however, as a group we weren't very too happy with it and sought the advice of our teacher who also agreed that the title wasn't effective enough. 

Final Edit - Delilah

Enjoy!! :)

My Final Thoughts

I am very pleased with our final edit of our film, i feel that everything we planned worked out mostly how we wanted it to, if we were to do the film again the only thing I think that may have improved it is to have used a better microphone for the recording of the dialogue.

EDITING

Kudiwa prepared our credits on live type to put into our film, we then imported them, placed them in correctly, and changed the speed accordingly

Non digetic sound

For our opening we wanted to include voicemails for the husband. We thought this would be a good way to set the scene of the story and give the audience an understanding that this man had not been in contact with anyone for a while.

In order to do this we needed to somehow record record messages off of a phone, Kudiwa and I thought the easiest way to do this would be to use a video camera to record one end of the line on loudspeaker, whilst I got various people in other rooms to leave messages depicting various scenarios the husband had missed.

Editing

Editing is a tricky process but essential to create an effective title opening. Editing requires a lot of patience. For example fitting the many scenes we filmed to look smooth and natural is hard to do, and making the music fit well with the camera scenes was very difficult also.

Soundtrack

Whilst editing we listened to a numberof soundtracks...The video above shows the 1st song we listened to... it was very effective and went along with our movie very well. In making our own sound tracks we used this song as inspiration.

In all our final soundtrack is not the same as this song but it portrays the same effects on the audinces..making them feel uneasy and not able to feel comfortable although the sound may sound very peaceful.

Recording voices for Opening sequence

For our film, we decided to record the actors voices in order for our audience to perceive the voices as part of a telephone answering machine. We have done this by recording with a camera and placing the audio as a voiceover in the opening title.  This is so that we are able to show to our audience that somebody (the person revealed at the end of the opening sequence) is missing but still creates an element of mystery as we do not know why or how they came to be missing. This is done so that  enough knowledge is enabled to be gained by the audience, but not too much so that the audience is still intrigued by the opening title.
