teaser poster anyalsis of se7en

The poster has a black background to bold out the white title of the screen, making it the main focus of the poster. It also has 7 tallyed in blood under the title of the film, hinting at the horror/gorey side of the film. The tagline under the title and the 7 tallyed in blood there is a small tagline that reads " se7en deadly sins, se7en ways to die" also hinting at the horror aspect aswell as the thriller side. the film poster gives away the title and that it will have aspects of death and gore and involve the deadly sins. however it doesnt give away anything elses such as characters, and the storyline. the poster produces alot of engimas by not showing characters or where it is set.

teaser poster anyalsis of saw.

The poster shows a white back group, which is bolding out the picture alot more making it the centre of attention. The picture in the direct centre of the poster is of a severed foot with blood around it. This picture is both eye catching and horrific hinting at what the film saw is like. The poster gives away the title of the film so that the audiences has some information about the film from the poster. However that is all the poster gives away to create engimas and get audiences talking alot more about the film.

Saw 5 teaser trailer

.The teaser starts off with black screens with titles appearing giving no real hint to what the film is. It only alerts to what the film is at the very end of the teaser.
.The teaser uses a very haunting diagetic sound of someone singing, linking with the horror genre with the haunting sort of voice.
.It starts off with an image far away from the foreground and after every title it gets closer producing enigma's about what it is? and where is it?
.When the music stops with a sudden bang the editing begins to speed up and as the guy struggles it gives more enigma's about why he's there? what has he done? will he escape?
.The saw movies are a big horror sort of film, and when you see the title u know its going to be gorey and horrific.

V for Vendetta teaser trailer/ START OF A2 WORK

The teaser trailer for V for Vendetta through out creates lots of enigma’s which will give audiences lots to talk about and through this the teaser trailer is producing more and more interest. E.g. Who plays the character V? And What is the film about?

The teaser Trailer for V for Vendetta gives no real direction of what the film is about apart from at the end when the rhyme “ remember remember the 5th of November” which is a link to the gunpowder plot, another link to this is the mask the character V wears in the film, is a Guy Fawkes mask.

The editing in the teaser trailer is mostly quick cutting from short scene to short scene which is common in most teaser trailers, how ever the teaser for V for Vendetta does use some longer cuts which does give more enigma’s as it gives more for the audience to find out about the film.

The teaser trailer also uses text e.g. Created by the makers of the Matrix Trilogy. To get fans of that certain director/makers to come see their latest piece of work which brings audiences to the film this teaser trailer is promoting.

Another thing the teaser trailer uses is a popular actors name e.g. Natalie Portman who stars in the film as Evey.

Post-Production/ END OF AS WORK

I have learned from audience feedback that many films get different feedback depending on the genre of the film and that everyone has a different view on a film. the feedback given to a film can give the producer and director of the film ways they could have improved the film they have created, however some feedback can't help improve the film, as some feedback may not be constructive.
I have also learned that there are many ways i could have improved my opening to the film.

Digital Technology

I used digital technology in the construstion and research, planning and evaluation stages of my AS pieces of coursework.

I used digital technology in the construction and research stage looking at opening scenes to films to look at certain aspects of the opening scenes that show through the genre i choose to do for my AS coursework. I then took some of those aspects shown in the opening scenes and used them to create an idea and the background for the film.

I then used digital technology in planning and evalution stages with techonology such as websites e.g blogger, to show the process from planning through to evaulation posting blogs at every step of the process. I also used youtube to get audience feedback to help with the evaluation process. thecnology such as digital recorders were used in the prodution of the film.

both films finished

We have finished editing both the films and they have come out good. The soundtracks to both of the films fit quite well and the editing fits the film perfect. The first film works to get perspective parents to send there kids to therfield. The second film works to get money for the school and show how bad the school is.

Finishing of the first film and editing of the 2nd film.

We have finished editing the first film for prospective parents we just need to add a sound track to the film and it should be finished.

We have started editing the second film to get money for the school and pieced the shoots together so they flow and make the school look terrible so that the school can get money.

Editing of the 1st video for prospective parents!

We have started editing and pieceing together the first video for prospective parents. We have taken the nice filming of the school to picec together to create a picture of a good school so that parents would want to send their kids to the school. So far we have put the scenes a an order we wanted them in and put titles at the bottom of the scene to show what lesson it is e.g science. We have also put a picture of the school emblem at the start to show what school it is. We will then put some music to the background and add some more to it and the start to edit the start of the 2nd video to get persuade people to give money to the school.

pre-production and production so far for school vids!

we started off by coming up with as many ideas as we could. Then we took a slection of those ideas and put them together and created a plan for the two videos one created to advitise the school to prospective parents the other to ask money for the school. we created a storyboard to get an outline for the films and so that it would be easyer to piece together when it came to the editing.

we then went out and started to film for the films getting scenes of new buildings and lessons to show prospective parents how good the school is and scenes of scaffolding, spikes and other parts of the school that made it look like the school needed money.

Bio toxic evaluation

Bio-Toxic evaluation

The completed film, Bio-toxic after being edited together comes to about 2minutes and 15 seconds. Bio-Toxic is a zombie movie with generic conventions of a horror and a thriller.

I started off by looking at the generic conventions of zombie movies to get the idea for my film. Then I created a 100 words synopsis to get a general idea of the movie I was making. Then I started pre-production by creating a storyboard and script for the 2 minute start to my movie, Bio-Toxic.

I then started filming the 2 minute start to the film. The first time I filmed it didn’t go exactly to the script, so I changed the script and the storyboard. But the filming I did didn’t come out as well so I decided to do it again. The second time the area I was filming in had flooded so I had to change it a bit and that led to me changing the script and storyboard again. The second time came out very well however I did have some problems as I lost a couple of scenes while filming which led to me having to film them again. I then had to film the news presenter bit which was filmed in a classroom. I also recorded some sound effects which include a girl going hello and some people to rawr to make the zombie noises louder and clearer in the film. I had some problems with the final scene so I decided to leave it out of the final piece.

I started to edit the film after I had the scenes with the character running from zombies. I started off by taking bits out of the filming that were the best scenes I had and putting them together in the right order. I then decided to add some effects to make the film flow through so it looked better than choppy scenes pieced together. I used the effect fade to black to get this. I then decided to put in some static screens and a television effect in. I then decided to put in some sound effects for the special effects I put in like a flat line sound and a white noise sound in to make it sound better. Then I put in the title screen with the title Biotoxic. Then I put it in a different colour and then gave it a jumpy old effect which looks great. Then I decided to put the news reader bit in before the television effect and the title screen and before the newsreader bit I put in a static screen.

I then decided to put in the sound track and looped it to give it a continuing effect to it. The sound track starts at 29 seconds and ends at 1 minute and 58 seconds. I had some trouble with the looping as there is a jumpy bit in the middle so I decided to put a sounds effect in of the zombie’s rawring to cover the jumpy bit in the sound track. I decided to use, with a heavy heart (I regret to inform you) by Does it offend you, Yeah? As it builds up tension and has a crescendo bit in which is perfect for the film as it crescendo’s at the point of the bite. I then decided to mess about with the sound volumes on the soundtrack and sound effects so you can hear the sounds effects but also hear the soundtrack.

We unloaded our video to you tube, a popular video sharing site. The soundtrack on the video we uploaded had somehow moved forward and disrupted the flow of the soundtrack. The crescendo in the film where the character gets bitten is pushed forward. Also the looped bit of soundtrack which was first covered by zombie noises but has been revealed due to the pushed forward of the soundtrack.

I think my filming and editing went very well and it came out better than I expected. I am very happy with the finish product even though there were some problems with filming, editing and sound but I found away round these problems and the film came out very well.
