Evaluation- What targets will you set yourself for G324 next year - When you will make a trailer?

I have learnt for my year doing G321 coursework that I need to become more organised and this will help me succeeded with more post and in greater detail. I would also have created more footage so that I had a longer film. I also would plan out the exact shots I want and have a more distinctive storyline this would show that I was in control of my project and therefore I would have a greater outcome.
In my next film production I am going to have a detailed story line to the film I am making a trailer for and will ensure that everything I do will be planed to the last detail, this will include camera shots I wish to use, actors costumes, props and all the details that I had missed in this years film production.

Targets I wish to set for Mise-en-scene :
I would like to have a clear setting in my next film production, Although I did have a clear setting in the wood for this years production, I feel that simply having props with in my setting that shows reverence to the story line will add to the drama and engage the target audience. Also in my next film production I wish to have clear costumes for my character so that the audience watching can really get to grips on what my films about.

Targets I wish to set for Camera Composition :
 Although I feel that in making my film this year I did succeed in using a rage of camera shots, using high angle shots, match on action shots, medium and full length shots, I still feel that there is a lot of room for improvement for Camera Composition for my Trailer next year.I feel I could use close up shots to show their facial expressions so that the audience can connect to how that character is feeling. I could also use point of view shots again this shot is very effective in getting the audience to see in the eyes of that character but also feel a connection to that character.

Targets I wish to set for Editing:
I feel that I could use cuts from shots to show or portray characters or relationship between characters in a certain way. To possibly make the audience feel a connection between this editing. I could also use fast pace and slow pace editing to portray the characters, their relationships or simply the mood within the film.

Targets I wish to set for Sound:
I wish to have either a voice over from the main character of my film or scripted speech from characters of my film for the next project I do.  I think this would help the audience watching to know what is going on and the story line to my film. i would also like to use music to help portray the type of film I am creating.

Evaluation- What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

This is a samsung S4 Mini, the phone me and my partner used to film the shots and footage of our film Elvira. we used YouTube videos to help us when editing our film and these videos where extremely useful. We also used YouTube to put up our film and preliminary task. For all of the Editing, sound of our film we used Adobe premier, this was a useful programme in helping us to do this with many tools that were simple yet effective use of equipment. To post all of our course work we used blogger, but we however also used blogger to look at previous students work so that we knew the standard of work we must give to get a high grade.

Evaluation- how did you attract/ address your audience

Evaluation- What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Evaluation: Looking back on your preliminary tasks, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Both Editing and camerawork of my film, looking back on my preliminary task are very similar. There is a match on action shot in my preliminary task when Chloe is searching for a book and in my film we also used a match on action shot of actor Kieron when going under the tree so we could empathize the tension to the audience.

looking back on my preliminary task i have learnt about production credits and how to edit shots so that they fade in and out to make a dramatic effect. In our preliminary shot we used several camera shots match on action, close up, 360 rule, shot- reverse-shot, over the shoulder shot. and fast pace editing. however the camera stayed on one level and therefore didn't show the full extent of depth in meaning to the clip. In our film we had a high angle shot along with low angle shots which helped us to get the full depth of meaning to come across to the audience watching.   

As you can see both the picture to the right and to the bottom left there is both match on action shots of the characters hand. In the preliminary task you can see that this shot is used to show the audience what the character is doing. in my film the shot is used to show the characters vulnerability as he is on taken obstacles to make his way him.
