EVALUATION I Question 5

Who would be the audience for your media product?

EVALUATION | Question 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Many of the thriller openings produced by the students in my college develop on the forms and conventions of real media products.

The ways our media product uses are:

• Sound -

Location shots

On The Run STORYBOARD - (Animatic)

Our storyboard, with each frame thrown together in final cut for your viewing pleasure :)

Storyboard

After spending time together as a group developing our ideas and discussing how we want the story to unfold, talking about some of the techniques we want to use, i drew up this storyboard. I included notes along side the frame mentioning specific shot types and other important effects we wanted to achieve, however we will have to allow for changes during filming. It wasn't practical to draw out all the shot's we want to achieve but it should give you an impression of what we're aiming for!

Pitching our idea

Pitch

I've uploaded our pitch on a site called scribd so it can be easily viewed at anyone's leisure, it includes our production schedule amongst everything else. Pitching was an informative experience where we were able to get feedback from people more experienced in the industry

Thriller Sub-Genres

Action thriller: In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place.

Crime thriller: This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasize action over psychological aspects.

Phycological Thriller: In which (until the often violent resolution) the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical.

MI5 denies withholding

documents in Binyam Mohammed case Binyam Mohamed has been involved in a lengthy legal battle The head of MI5 has denied his staff withheld documents relating to the torture of a UK resident from a House of Commons scrutiny committee. It has been suggested that a senior judge believed MI5 "deliberately misled" the Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee. But MI5 director-general Jonathan Evans told the Daily Telegraph the claim was "the precise opposite of the truth". The material concerns former Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed. Ethiopian-born Mr Mohamed, 31, alleges that UK authorities knew he was tortured at the behest of US authorities after his detention in Pakistan in 2002. On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal ruled that the government must publish a seven-paragraph summary of exactly what British intelligence officials were told about his treatment. The summary revealed that his treatment was "cruel, inhuman and degrading" and included deliberate sleep deprivation.

Final Cut Pro Bait Tutorial

In todays lesson we were learning how to use the program Final cut pro. We had the Bait tutorial which showed us how to use the fuctions of Final Cut Pro which we was going to use for our final piece of film coursework.
Once Final Cut Pro was opened three seperate windows appeared, One of the windows had all the film clips which were recorded on the memory cards,
The second was the clips itself from which i could edit e.g increase/decrease speed or cut unwanted parts.
The third and final windows allowed us to view the final sequence with all the edits attached.

To cut parts from your clips you had to use inputs and outputs what where two little lines to take out the parts of the clips that you wanted by doing this you could cut out the extra sounds and mistakes which was in the clips. once themistakes or unwanted parts were edited out you had to single click on the clip and drag it onto the timeline.

A Definition Of Suspense

Suspense is created by the anxiety and uncertainty in the lead up to a climatic event,
the feeling of anticipation engages the audience with a sense of pleasurable excitement.
A common technique used to create suspense is a "False plateau",this is an Omnious image that suggests there will be an undecided situation.
