AS Level Media Foundation Production Evaluation Q5 & Q6

Q5 How did you attract/address your audience?            And
Q6 What have you learnt about technologies from the progress of construction this product?















The film 'sinister' was an inspiration on the lighting and the flashing. It was like a super8 film but instead of the boogieman we have a priest. We aimed to make the opening as if someone was watching the super8 and then getting scared and interested.


This shot is of the opening credits it is an establishing panning shot. We chose this shot because it reminded me of a film that stuck in my head and was really thought provoking. This was made apparent when we asked people to comment on it and the first thing they asked about was this shot. The props where also made by us with the names on. We had this idea from the start and we were very happy because it turned out how we had imagined it. This will attract the audience because it is quite interesting for the audience and will not give them the chance to get bored as there is quite a lot going on the piece.                         In this we learnt that a long panning shot at such a low level was difficult it took us 4 attempts and we then split the long clip up. We used strait cuts to other clips because it make the film more interesting for the audience and this helps split up our long panning shot because when we put it in with no editing on the clip was like 1mins 30seconds and this gave us hardly any time for the rest of the narrative.



This bit attracts the audience because the audience member is usually going to be this age. The costume of this character is very similar to the clothes in which the audience would own, this helps the audience relate and makes the film more attractive. If the audience can relate to the character it is more personal to them when something happens to the character.                         The technical skills we have picked up were how to pan with no tripod and the only stability being the hands. This was also a good setting pan as it helps you to see the church from the outside making them build up what the setting is. We also used the golden mean where my body moves through the line of the mean.


The close up we used here shows that we understand the technical aspects of a thriller because it disorientates the audience. This is good to help elevate tension by making the audience member so uncomfortably close to the actor. The jump cut from the actor turning his head into the zoom onto the eye and then back out to the body. These jump cuts may make the audience jump as the eye is so big on the screen and we tried to make it happen at a high tension bit in the music and the sound effect on the top of the door being loud also will hopefully make the audience jump.



the shot is a long shot of the actor walking to the pew. The editing to get to this point was normal cuts. What we did was put a fade to black on to help increase tension when the priest is in the shot. This was a thought that we had to make it more interesting after watching it through without. Other miner tweaks we made after watching it through was some sound effects of high pitches screeching to make the tension in the piece higher.
