This is a podcast of me and taylor's evaluation in which we answered 4 questions regarding the quality of what we have achieved in our overall A2 project and we also looked at the process of designing and creating our film in which there were many things we had to consider in making the entire project.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-46105886997379403252012-04-17T11:18:00.002-07:002012-04-18T00:58:24.874-07:00Raincoat killer 5 minute film<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/40506914?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/40506914">The Raincoat Killer</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user9284030">Taylor Allbut</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />

This is our final piece, of our a2 project in which we created a short film, approximately five minutes, this was a challenge as we recognised some factors were a problem such as the level of lighting in some scenes, how it was difficult in order to level these out as some scenes were shot in the day light and so at night. Overall i feel our film is good but i can see room for slight improvements, the storyline may seem unclear and i feel more dialogue would have helped this. However it was not a bad first effort and it provided me with more knowledge about lighting, camera angles and mise en scene and why they are so important.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-31314991498968967752012-04-17T03:51:00.001-07:002012-05-09T01:23:18.391-07:00The short film industry<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A short film is any film that is not considered to be a feature film, s<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">hort films can be professional or amateur productions. Short films are often screened at local, national, or international film festivals. they are often made by independent filmmakers</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"> for non profit</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">, either with a low budget, or no budget</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"> at all, and in rare cases big budgets. Short films are usually funded by film grants, non profit organizations, sponsor</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">, or out of pocket funds.</span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Why short films might be created.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">These films are often created by individual filmmakers to prove their talent in order to gain funding</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"> for future films from private investors, entertainment companies, or film studios</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">. Short films qualify for academy awards</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"> if screened in Los Angeles.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">They are a method of showing off certain skills in creating films, and also a chance to create a story with a message, a clear beginning and end.</span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">what to watch out for when creating a short film</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Copyright infringement, you must gain permission to represent someone in real life, you must also be legally funded. Also if your film has a distributor, you must be clear on who exactly owns the film.
Here i wrote about some of the background about short film industry as this greatly affected us as we also created a short film, by finding out more about short films and how they are posted, it gave me more background knowledge and helped me to create my film.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-26113348556029098152012-04-07T10:40:00.000-07:002012-04-07T10:41:27.712-07:00Ready to mark....?Hi Craig,<div><br /></div><div>I'm about to start marking - are you confident this is as good as it can be? </div>Mr Southworthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631055013925428762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-97440572084993862012-03-29T06:45:00.002-07:002012-04-19T06:37:00.267-07:00Picture camera<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8zQwPPm-l14/T3RnYClnGuI/AAAAAAAAACI/7R53xbUtUYc/s1600/photo_3-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8zQwPPm-l14/T3RnYClnGuI/AAAAAAAAACI/7R53xbUtUYc/s320/photo_3-1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is the camera in which we used to take pictures when showing our thought processes when creating our A2 project.

This is me and Taylor's evaluation of our 5 minute A2 film named "The Raincoat Killer". Within our evaluation we have answered 4 questions, analyzing the technical aspects of our film and the process of creating it. We then recorded our evaluation and will upload it so we can then play it back. Our evaluation has helped us summarize the good points of our film and the areas that need to be improved on. We also reflected on our research and planning stage and by doing this we can identify any problematic areas and any wrong turns we may have made which later have developed into recognizable mistakes, e.g. choosing genre or plot perhaps.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-72814658616287619482012-03-28T18:49:00.000-07:002012-04-19T06:48:16.264-07:00Interaction and feedback<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CP7TbWKM9tw/T3RoVgeZVuI/AAAAAAAAACQ/eWM1NKoq4Ms/s1600/facebook+feedback.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CP7TbWKM9tw/T3RoVgeZVuI/AAAAAAAAACQ/eWM1NKoq4Ms/s320/facebook+feedback.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a print screen of some of the feedback We received for our A2 project, (short film). We uploaded our film onto the internet (Facebook) and this allowed friends etc to view it and say what they like or dislike about our film. By interacting with our target audience it allows us to get a better idea of what certain conventions to include in our film that worked well. And what areas may have not been so effective. Ultimately we must know what some of our audience think about our film as it is purposely aimed at them and by gaining specific feedback we can then tweak certain elements where neccessary.</div>Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-25620468168592932642012-03-28T06:14:00.000-07:002012-03-28T06:14:11.520-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C9to5dhynnk/T3MOkYprPoI/AAAAAAAAABI/RZQJxTZBJ7U/s1600/10+shot+plan+in+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C9to5dhynnk/T3MOkYprPoI/AAAAAAAAABI/RZQJxTZBJ7U/s400/10+shot+plan+in+detail.jpg" width="295" /></a></div><br />

This is a document created by me and taylor, in which we planned the 10 shots we will include within our storyboard, which we would then be presenting to the class. We were also aware we needed to use shots that could tell a story, and were easy to explain in a single caption. however we did not want to reveal too much of the story-line. by planning our shots it also saved time as we knew exactly what and where we need to go and what type of shot we will be using in each and every shot.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-39182829911854491982011-12-12T07:20:00.001-08:002011-12-13T02:39:08.041-08:00<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F30418063"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F30418063" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object><br />
This is me and Taylor's sound clip, we used this through-out our film to try and create a sense of tension and mystery. The clip was created on Garageband and starts of slowly and gradually we made it louder which allowed us to build tension towards a particular moment in our film and we believed it worked and we thought the music was effective, however we feel we may have used it too much whereby it loses some of its effect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-47564238056594393352011-12-12T02:31:00.000-08:002011-12-12T02:31:28.305-08:00<iframe class="scribd_iframe_embed" data-aspect-ratio="0.706697459584296" data-auto-height="true" frameborder="0" height="600" id="doc_66770" scrolling="no" src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/75232571/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-17p7edlyc4ont2fthyst" width="100%"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">

This is the radio trailer for our short film in which we recorded and added music from Garageband, We had created a script for our radio trailer, when creating it we looked at other trailers for horror films and tried incorporating some of the horror film trailer conventions into ours. An example of this is the voice we used in which sounds husky which is relevant to our film. However we should make changes having recognized that the voice may seem somewhat unclear which could mean that the audience do not hear every word.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-62811903162866209872011-12-09T01:13:00.003-08:002011-12-09T01:41:43.530-08:00<div style="font-family: serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This winter,</span></div><div style="font-family: serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br />

When recording our script for our radio trailer we intend on trying to mimic a typical horror trailer voice and this would be a deep and slightly gravely voice to sound more serious and masculine. We wanted to keep our trailer fairly short and to the point to give our audience as much necessary information as possible relevant to our story and in doing this we can also provide a sense of tension as the audience will have an idea of what might happen during the film.</span></div></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-67820112975383518902011-12-08T12:50:00.001-08:002011-12-09T01:30:15.030-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I also think the font used in the title and in the credits is necessary and adds to the gimmick of a scary film.

This is our presentation, and within this we were pitching our film, and the aim was to show the possible investors / audience what our film was about and give them an insight into the plot. Firstly we explained our storyboard and the running order of each event and scene. We then prepared a sample scene in which was around 40 seconds long to give the audience an idea of how we have approached the making of the film. We then answered any questions regarding our film, and tried to explain each point as clearly as possible. Overall i thought it went well, however our storyboard had 1 picture missing.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-81160079137210644182011-12-07T04:16:00.001-08:002011-12-07T05:53:20.812-08:00<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yJsiVOlGT3M/Tt9Y7WO9gkI/AAAAAAAAAAw/RjubqtW_BRM/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-12-07+at+12.14.37.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yJsiVOlGT3M/Tt9Y7WO9gkI/AAAAAAAAAAw/RjubqtW_BRM/s320/Screen+shot+2011-12-07+at+12.14.37.png" width="239" /></a></div>This is our first idea of a picture for the front of our poster, firstly we decided to have one picture on the front with only one person in the frame and this is so the audience focus on the main character and from the conventions you can see he his holding a knife and so this gives the audience an insight into what to expect within the film. We also aimed to include the typical conventions of a horror film in our picture by including a dark background, the face of the character is also slightly covered aiming to keep his identity hidden, and obviously he is holding a knife in which signifies violence and death.<br />
The second image here is a basic idea drawn out by us as to what our poster may look like,and when planning our poster we planned to include many horror conventions. One factor was the style of writing we will use for example in the title, we were going to use a font in which seems different to other common ones, as well as an image involving many of the characters, as we feel it is important to catch the audiences eye and give them an idea of what the film is about.<br />

This is me and Taylor's first draft of our 5 minute film, we notice some of our mistakes and can see a lot of room for improvement a lot of it being minor errors, Our film is also slightly too long and some parts need to be cut again, and we will need to edit some parts differently as well as adding more effects in places, however i feel it wasn't a bad effort.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-57899039175945180222011-11-28T04:34:00.000-08:002011-11-28T04:34:26.894-08:00<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="355" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/b1lgXhFbXy4" width="480"></iframe><br />

Title: saw<br />
This trailer is 60 seconds long and again starts showing a main character within the film, black is also the coloured used in transition from shot to shot, this represents the darkness and again the sense of the unknown typical in horror films. We are again shown the main characters in the film and we see several different shots in particular of a saw which is seen as a weapon and the name of the film. Also there a several sharp shots used in quick succession to show the anxiety and rush of it all when you see the prisoners try to escape and fend for their lives.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-69948216864045201852011-11-28T04:24:00.001-08:002011-11-29T03:17:06.228-08:00Film trailer<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="274" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UlaZfOiGaCU" width="480"></iframe><br />

This is our sample scene we created and edited to pitch and present to our class, however we filmed this in night vision and so the quality was limited, when we re-film this part and the rest of the movie we will be filming it in daylight.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-21947712190265311602011-11-16T01:26:00.000-08:002011-11-23T01:46:06.075-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIq6_nh2QMc/TsOBXvMDInI/AAAAAAAAAAo/-bMw_B6BPyE/s1600/Picture+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIq6_nh2QMc/TsOBXvMDInI/AAAAAAAAAAo/-bMw_B6BPyE/s400/Picture+1.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is the sound effect we created whilst using Garageband, we made this to be used within our horror film. Garageband was useful in the way that we were able to generate sounds that were artificially pre-made and so saved us time. They were also categorized into certain genres and so were easy to find. This particular sound effect is ideal for our film as it builds tension due to the gradual rise in volume.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-36925958949937908902011-11-14T14:37:00.004-08:002012-03-26T07:51:24.604-07:00Treatment<a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/72778726/Treatment" style="-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 12px auto 6px auto; text-decoration: underline;" title="View Treatment on Scribd">Treatment</a><iframe class="scribd_iframe_embed" data-aspect-ratio="0.706697459584296" data-auto-height="true" frameborder="0" height="600" id="doc_96709" scrolling="no" src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/72778726/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-ddhmng5zl7igdm9ks02" width="100%"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">

This is My final draft of our film treatment in which i analyzed our film preparation stages. By writing a treatment it allowed me to plan out our film accordingly, and this helped in the developing stage saving time when filming as we had a better idea of what shots should be used in certain scenes etc. Once i had written the story i could also gain feedback on the general story line and see whether people had thought it made sense and had potential.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06253793196621161853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966640098021683231.post-64051052447733544212011-11-08T03:37:00.000-08:002011-11-17T07:27:37.421-08:00List of criteria for blog (due 15/11/11)1.
