Evaluation Question: 7

Here is a publisher of comparing both final film and preliminary film-


Evaluation question 7

While doing the preliminary we were just practising our filming techniques to improve the quality of our final piece and help us be more confident with holding and showing with the camera which i feel helped a lot. As we only filmed in school our preliminary task was very limited so therefore we had to create a story that would fit in with the schools surroundings while when we did our final piece  we could almost film it anywhere so therefore the ideas were endless.

When doing the preliminary task me and my group used a variety of different shots such as a much on action and 180 degree rule. Unfortunately we did not use a try pod to held steady the camera so therefore some of the shots we used were bit shaky. This meant that some of the shots are slightly blurry which took away from what was going on in the scene.


We used a lot of foley effects to try and make it sound as real as possible but it ended out sounding out of place and wrong. as the door did not make the sound that you would have expected from a new door such as this one.

While the two charecters were speaking we edited a shot reverse shot to make it seem as it the conversation was a fluent as possible.


While we did filming for our main film opening we used many different camera shots, the main one being tracking shots as it seemed the best fit as we wanted the opening to seem fast paced as the main character is going for a run.


In the main film we used a match on action from when the main charecte goes down the alley way.

We didn't have any conversations in our film opening so therefore we did not need to use a shot reverse shot or 180degree rule but it was very helpful to know while filming it as we would know how to execute the shot properly if we need to use it.

Evaluation Question: 6

When producing our film as a group we took individual responsibility with certain roles Jack Delaney (I) decided and had influences on location and looked into areas which where local but also matched and fitted into our criteria.



 Adam Russel was given responsibility of the camera and he focused on making sure the clips fitted well and all smoothly blended nicely into one another.

Charlie Gooch had the role and responsibility to manage the editing and cutting side of the film because he had the moment experience within this department so he felt like he was suited for this part.

Evaluation Question 2


Evaluation Question 2
Social groups
A social groups is where a certain group of people share the same or similar interests or have a similar life style. This is important to know as certain social groups would be interested in our film and it would be very helpful to know what type of social group that is so that we could advertise the film to them specific people. To do this I have decided to have the main character from our film next to Rocky Balboa from rocky next to each other and analyse and see why certain social groups watched rocky due to his appearance.
Our main character is very similar to Rocky Balboa this is scene as they are both very fit healthy characters. They are both the main characters in their respected films so therefore they are going to both have a lot of screen time. The fact that they are both going to or are on a run connotes that they are fit people who care about their health this could attract healthy fit audiences as they can relate to it.
Rocky is much older than our main character so therefore that could attract many older audiences as they can relate to what rocky is going through while our main character is a teenager so therefore many teenagers themselves would be attracted to the film as they could relate to our main character.
This means that the use of an older actor could mean that the film is more mature while the use of a younger actors means it more immature and more enjoyable for younger audiences.

As we only have one character represented in our film opening I cant analyse any more charecters and social groups.

Final casting decisions

Jack Delaney- Jack is very suitable for the role of the main character. He is athletic and fit so therefore he can be very practical with all the running and physical aspects of the filming. He has an accent that is very suitable for the role as he doesn't speak in a posh way but in a common but clear way so therefore he would fit in with where he is located so that e would e able to interact well with other people in the film.



Final costume decision

We have decided to use tracksuits for our costumes, this is because it suits in with the theme of running. It can also represent that the area is more run-down as stereotypically people who are in run down poor locations wear tracksuits.

 

The coat that was chosen is a adidas original coat this is to represent the running aspect of the opening as it fits very well with the surroundings as the area is fairly run down and people who wear adidas are stereotypically worn by people who live in such areas.











The shoes that the character will wear is a pair of air max 90's this is because they are running shoes in which many people use for daily shoes. Especially people who live in run down areas so therefore they fit in the scene very suitably.

Mise en scene consideration

When we where looking for locations to film in we had to consider what type of background we wanted our film to have. The location depends on what type of mood our film has and we wanted a fairly dark grim mood so therefore we had to find a location that matched that. We decided to film in a run down location. we used dirty garages to make the surroundings seem more run-down and shot in alleyways to make the location seem more densely populated and dirty.

Target audience profile Resit


Target audience profile

Our film will be rated as a 15 this is because there will be upsetting scenes, violence and mild drug use unsuitable for anyone younger. There will also be strong language and racism involved that could disturb younger audiences. This information is from the bbfc certification for 15 rated film page.







































Also this is an issue if we was to go lower because the prime audience range is between 15-27 this is due to the young actors involved which play a huge role within the film as we are attempting to help and influence younger audiences. The use of drugs will be clear but not seen this is so that our film does not entice younger views to experiment with such actions. We have decided to implement violence and blood within our opening film as we feel this is something this generation will not be as disturbed by, as video games that are played by this generations usually include these features. The racial context we feel will influence younger people to understand that these certain phrases are wrong and people who use them should be punished. We feel as though a older audience will be comfortable with the content in this piece so we kept in segments that would attract them.

When creating our piece we decided to use the uses and gratification theory. This is the idea that the audience want to gain something when watching our production piece. We decided to use the entertainment aspect of this theory, this is where the audience are entertained by our piece and have an element of escapism from everyday traumas and life.


Name of film

 1Hundred
The reason we decided to use this as our title for our film is because one hundred stands for the 100 meter races that our film is about and what our main character will be competing in. The use of the number 1 instead of the word one is used to make the film seem more edgy. This is because our film may be unsettling at time and it is also used to represent that our main character is against everyone, the use of 1 all resembles that it all comes down to one winner.

Organisation of props and costumes.

There is almost no props used in the film opening as not much action happens and when someone s running they dont normally hold something but the character does use headphones to listen to his music. So therefore I wouldn't need to organise the props as there inst any props that need to be organised.

As their is only two characters seen in the film opening and the second characters back of head is the only part of that character that is seen. So therefore only a hoody is needed for that character while the full body is seen of the first character so therefore we need to to dress that character in full and make sure he has all the right clothes. We would organise these clothes by holding the main characters clothes for him and when we film give him the clothes and after we film ask him to give it back in case we need to re film for whatever reason. It is very easy to organise the costumes as they are normal clothes so they are very easy to get hold of and we only have one character so therefore there cant be any costumes mix ups.

These film are all very different types of sports dramas. Some are more serious such as warrior while some are more funny such as balls of fury. This shows us the different types of films and the different successes they've had. This will help us when it comes to deciding what genre we will make our film as a certain type of sport may not be as popular then others. This is so we can make a film that is as popular as possible. A film such as warrior is a very popular type of film as it involves mixed martial arts so therefore it would bring alot of interest as many young males would want to watch it.

Post on you hypothetically casting celebrities in your film


Us as group decided If we were to have celebrities in our film hypothetically, We would have the rapper Stormzy act in our film. This is due to the fact that Stormzy grew up in a run down estate, which is exactly the sort of location we want our film to be set in. Stormzy is the perfect actor for this due to the fact that he would feel comfortable in this area, also because he was brought up in this area the way he acts will be perfect to create the sense of realism. Another fact that makes Stormzy the perfect actor is because of his dress sense. His dress sense is a sort of 'chavy' look, which would also create the sense of realism.

Final mise decisons


We as a group chose to have this piece of mise-en-scene in our film opening because it represents where the music in the clip comes from. Due to the fact that as soon as the actor puts in his headphones the music begins to play louder.


Also as a group we chose for our actor to wear a snapback due to the fact that snapbacks have connotations of 'chavs' or people who live in run down areas. This was effective due to the fact that we were going for the affect that our film was about someone who lives in a run down estate, and the snapback signifies this the most.

This helps us when we came to create our film opening because we now know exactly what props we need to include to create the theme that we want.

Final Location



We as a group chose to use this location for our film opening this is because it was not at a distance which was to far away, meaning it was easy for us to access and if need be re-film certain scenes. Also area fits in well with the style of film we wanted. Due to the fact that we wanted our film to be based in a run down estate to capture a gritty realism feel, we feel like this location is perfect due to the fact that is rough around the edges.

This will help our film capture a sense of realism due to the fact that it is where actual people live and the fact that our company is independent this shows that we do not have the funds to record somewhere fancy.

Post on organising sound


We as a group have chosen to use this song in our film opening because we feel that it fits with our genre and also incises our audience due to the beat being upbeat and catchy. The song also has a 'running track' sort of feel, which connotes with the fact that the actor will be running when this song is player.

Through out our film opening Foley effects will be used in situations such as doors closing. We have chosen to create our own Foley effects due to the fact this means we do not have to look online for sounds that are royalty free.

This will help us when we come to create our film opening because we will have the perfect sounds we need to create the atmosphere of the film.

Charlie Gooch - 1175

Post on Costumes


Us as a group have decided to choose this outfit for our actors costumes, this is because our production company is independent meaning we do not have funds to hire out expensive locations, So this means they we have chosen to film in a run down location and this costume is one that has connotations to this sort of area.

This will help us when we come to film our film opening because we will know exactly what our actor needs to look like in the scenes.
