Planning

I started planning my evaluation by producing bullet points under each question which I can then use to expand on for the real things.

1- In what ways does your film opening use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

• Establishing shots at the beginning 
• stuck to the conventions of an adventure and spy film e.g. the music used, text and the fast paced shots 
• challenges the stereotype of girls being involved with something 'dodgy'

2- How does your film opening represent particular social groups?

• Girls are  always the venerable ones   

3- What kind of media institute might distribute your film and why?

4- Who would be the audience for your opening?

• As a group we decided on making our opening aimed at teenagers
• This is due to it being violent and an intricate storyline to follow 

5- How did you attract/address your audience? 

• We involved violence which entices the younger audience 
• Dramatic music 
• Good effects at the beginning with our title to make the audience believe its good straight away

6- What have you learned about technologies from the process of contracting this film opening? 

• Camera angles and shots 
• Tracking and panning 
• How to work a camera and its accessories i.e. tripod 
• How to use software such as iMovie 

7- Looking back at your prelim task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the final film opening?

• How long it takes to make sure every angle is perfect 
•  The amount of work it actually takes to make a film 
• How the editing process works 
• That you need to think about all the factors that make a good scene e.g. lighting 
• How to make the scenes so jumpy and choppy
