Questionnaire

Althought I've already decided on doing a crime/thriller genre, it would still be a good idea to do a questionnaire for the public so I can find a specific audience to aim it to and make sure that I get it right.
I've found a website called SurveyMonkey which Bret, Reece and Fay have used also.  Even though we're not working together anymore they're still helping me out :)

This is the survey, I've asked people to fill it in so hopefully once some of them have then I can have a better insight as to how to plan my project.

Deciding on a Genre

When I was trying to decide on a genre for my film opening I had to think about whether I would realistically be able to do it successfully or not, for instance if I was to create a film opening for a comedy, the material I actually used within the clip would have to be funny and I couldn't guarantee that it actually would be.  I did consider doing an action film but then came to the conclusion that it would not work as I'd need to be able to use special effects in order to make it look exciting and realistic.. I can barely use Word let alone some form of software which would allow me to do this.
I did also consider doing an opening for a romantic film but then realised that in the majority of romantic films an awful lot of detail for the story line goes into the opening which to me feels like it would be to complex to do, especially as I am working by myself.
So after looking at different options I have decided that I will be doing a crime/thriller genre as the openings can be quite basic however give the audience a good insight as to what the film will entail.

 

Main Task

Brief; The titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes.

Because my attendance at school is low I am not allowed to work in a group with Reece, Fay and Brett like before as it would be unfair for me to bring the groups grades down. This means that I will be working on my own :(

More Preliminary Work.

So as I said before I had to do a power point for the preliminary task, here it is...

Better late than never.

Due to the fact that I started this course late and have had time off sick I'm late posting with what I have been doing.  Unfortunately because I had missed so much I did not get to play around with camera's as much as everyone else, however I caught up on the information I had missed and managed to do it in my own time :)

I joined Brett, Reece and Fay in the preliminary task where we had to make a short film and include credits, create a power point on it with an evaluation.

The link is above is for the short film that we made, the acting isn't great especially by myself and the story line is not completely clear, however it was made so that we could use different camera shots in the actual making of a film.
