Ruff ideas for film!

Horror: People start to disappear couple of mates escape this. Mutants start to appear and continue to create more of them through infection in wounds. The two have to fight their way out and escape to a rumoured utopia (doean't exsist). They die in the end, UK taken over by mutants, mutants continue to increase in to the world.

Gangster (Guy Ritchie): Drug Dealer gets in trouble with supplye, suppler angery with dealer, tells him he's got 48 hours to get all his money bac, which the dealer lost it all in a poke game with the local backstreet guy's but can't sell drugs to get it back, or the supplyer will kill him in a weird way. Plans to rob ban, gets a bunch of his mates to help, successful bank robbery but screw up alot while doing it. But they get mugged by dealers frin the other side of town and he gets killed along with his mates by the supplyer.

*Gangster Horror: A dead gangleader died a year ago, left behind by his gang. One of the gang members talks of a curse which say's one by one the gangleader will seek his revenge on the people that left him behind. That night a black fiugure appears and slaughters one of the men in a very horrific way. Found in morning. Curse seen as coming true, other gang members take precourtions but al end up slaughtered in horrific way's like in saw films. Mystery comes from if its really a curse or someone doing it. loads of enigma's through out the film. reveals murderer near end but he gets killed in a horrific way but no-one is their doing this. or so you think??

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.
