Film Genre

The Hunted film that we are going to be producing is going to be a Horror film.Other films that have the same genre as ours is IT,The Ring,and Happy Death Day. Horror films all have many similarities to create the scary,and tense emotions to appeal to the audience watching.If it isn't scary then it won't be popular. In a horror film you always have a protagonist.In IT this is the clown,Pennywise,he is a murderer which is also very similar to our interactive film as we are going to be having a murderer as the protagonist,however instead of them being a clown we are having them as unknown as the film will be in first person from the murderers point of view. As well as a protagonist we also have the antagonist,they're not the hero in the film as they don't survive,which is controversial because most protagonist is the hero and they mostly always survive. It's also very different because there are three main characters all with their own separate story linking i...

Interactive film-Group Meeting

What needs doing. Due to last weeks snow we were unable to follow our production schedule and film the rest of our footage,this therefore has meant we became behind schedule and have had to alter our timetable so that we can get back on track. So far the footage we have filmed have turned out fine and at the moment we don't need to re-shoot anything.However we may alter the way we film our production and so those shots will have to be taken again.Emily and I,still have to film our segments which each contain about 10 scenes each  and the final few scenes for James' part.and so hopefully we can get it filmed during the rest of this week.After filming we can then review all the footage and re take any scenes if needed. After we have all our footage we can begin to edit all our footage together this is also when we would record our voice-overs.My voice-overs are dialogue of how my character would be thinking when the murderer is chasing them.This helps to engage...

The Hunted Interactive film website

Image
The Hunted Interactive film website. On our website we have decided to go for the colour scheme of Blue and white. This is because they both work well together to create a professional look.This is much like facebook's colours which represent professionalism but also interactivity and entertaining.These are all element we want to show in our website. The first thing the audience will see on our website is the pop up video which will include the video itself,however whilst we edit our footage we will also make a quick trailer to show there instead.There is a close option so that if they don't want to watch the video they can easily close it and later on watch it by clicking on the the trailer tab on the top bar. However compared to The Darkest Hour website they have made their homepage a lot simpler whilst still showing all the information required.They have opted for a moving background which really helps to engage...

task 4- Social website campaign- Site Map

Image
For our film the Hunted,we have been given the task of creating a website to help promote our TV Production.As we have three people in our group we separated the three tasks,the SEO,Website builder and making the Site Map. I took charge of making the Site map and had to come up with all the pages we would include on our Website and what pages will link into each other. I decided to link the gallery and behind the scenes together as both will include videos of behind the scenes. On the trailer page we decided to have the link to our youtube as well as having it pop up when the audience will first click onto our website. This gives them the chance to either watch the trailer straight away or look at it later on (there's an exit button) I then worked with James who was building the website to create our website and make it look professional and appeal to our audience.I shared with him the site map to make sure we put in the correct links and pages for our website.After this...

Interactive Book -House of Danger by R.A.Montgomery

An interactive book gives the reader a unique way to feel involved with the anecdote.In this case the book we review had 20 different ending which makes it an enjoyable book and gives un endless possibilities for how the story unfolds. The House of Danger is set with a detective who receives a phone call from an anonymous person who we soon discover is Henry Marsden,is in danger.However when choosing certain options we find the man is a ghost and the house (prison) is haunted with holograms of gorillas to keep people away from said house. Our first option we chose was to either go straight away to the address given over the phone call or we could wait for our friend. We chose wait for friends as one,we were told it would be their first and also we thought having back-up would be the best option.However i think that the Author decided that this is the option they wanted us to pick as it seems more reasonable,furthermore if we chose to go solo then it may have been a dangerous missio...

Task 4 -The Hunted (Interactive Short Film)

Image
Target audience What content is the Target audience looking for? Our target audience is aged 16 with the range of  14-18 this is because this is when they become more interested in the up and coming films being released and they will most likely research release dates,behind the scenes.This is also where we can add small amounts of violence suitable for 14 year olds and 18 year olds because it is introducing them to violence and also many 18 year olds enjoy more films with violence and so they will enjoy that as well. What type of content do they tend to view and share?    Most 14 to 18 year olds will be sharing their interest's of comedy and humour especially when people joke about celebrities and the news. What questions are they asking? when will it the film be released,what is the film about,who is acting in the film, and what is the genre of the film. Social Media channel A social Network s...

Researching TV Productions-Mock the Week

Image
Visual Codes The set for Mock the Week is based around Panels and the 'Stage'.The  panellists are often comedies and they have a selection of  'Scenes we'd like to see' and 'If this is the answer what is the question'.During the programme they talk about important topics that have happened in the news and they 'mock' and make these topics funny but they do also tell us the true information.When the panellists go to the stage they perform stand-up comedy sketches about a given topic. The colours used are red,blue and green.The blue and green represent the world as we see in their logo which is the world and the production name on above it in white outlined in red.The blue and green connotation represents the world and the fact that Mock the week talk about global issues and news. The hair and makeup are most likely done by the panellists themselves but the men will probably get some makeup put on to make sure their faces aren't shinn...

Representation

Representation questions 1) How does the film challenge or reinforce stereotypes? The film reinforces stereotypes by showing that most scientists are friends with each other. This is reinforced when Sheldon facetimes Stephen Hawkins. We also see this because most of the Characters in the Big Bang Theory who are friends, and some enemies, are scientists. Not including Penny and Stuart. This is mainly because they all share the same common interest in science and comic books. We also have the stereotype of Scientists being Nerds because Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj all have hobbies including Gaming, Technology and Comics. These are all stereotypically associated with nerds. They explore the stereotype of types of women in the Big Bang Theory as they have Penny who isn’t a scientist but as the ‘hot blonde’ who seems to date tons of men and care about her appearance, whereas Amy who is a scientist is not intereste...

Creating an Interview

Image
When filming a self shooting interview it's important to make the interviewee comfortable with the interviewer and the camera.By doing this an interviewer should set the camera up besides them,over their shoulder,our keeping within the 180 degree rule.The 180 degree rule is  when the camera is situated in a specific way to make sure that the audience doesn't get confused during the interview.If this rule is broken the interviewee and interviewer will seem to have switched places when intact they haven't and this will confuse the audience. Another tip is to keep eye contact with the interviewer whilst your interviewing them.This makes it more relaxed and comfortable especially if you don't constantly look down at your questions as it will allow the interview to flow easily. Between each question it is best to leave a slight gap as the interviewee may suddenly think of something that they want to mention.It's also important to not interrupt your interviewer as it...

White Balance

Image
White balance  basically means  colour balance . It is a function which gives the camera a reference to "true white" it tells the camera what the colour white looks like, so the camera will record it correctly. Since white light is the sum of all other colours, the camera will then display all colours correctly.Wehn filming at different times the light often changes,we may not see it but the cameras defiantly pick it up and so when filming if you manually correct the white balance it will allow all the video clips to be seen in similar lighting and  the sunlight won't effect it. You should perform this procedure at the beginning of every shoot, and every time the lighting conditions change. IYou will need a camera with a manual white-balance function. There should be a "white balance" button or switch on your camera. If your camera has a filter wheel (or if you use add-on filters), make sure you are using the correct filter for the  lighting cond...

Audience

An audience is a Group of Mass or Niche people who consume any media text such as Radio and music listeners,television viewers and web traffic on websites. An audience is important as they are the viewers and the clients of the media text and they can give the money to break-even and create profit.New technology now makes it easier for people to access the media they want and when they want,this increase in technology also means less people buy physical copies of films or the news as they can easily access it from the smartphones or smart Tv. there are two main types of audiences the mass audience and niche audience.The mass audience are a large group of people all attracted to the same thing for a large variety of reasons whereas a niche audience is based around specific attractions to the media text such as a a specific genre like gardening or cricket. An audience can also be split into two main systems for categorising,Psychographics and Demographics,A psychographic is definin...
