Vox Pops Task

This task we were asked to create a vox pop interviewing different people around the area.
The question we used was 'what would you expect to see in a thriller movie.'
We used this because we wanted too see what the public thought of a thriller and how there opinions can effect what we will produce.

Here is what we came up with:

Kofi Peprah:
His  opinions of a thriller included a good storyline, suspense and good scenes of action. He was showing knowledge and understanding of thriller films and  had good ideas for us.

Luke Tieny:

When asking Luke he showed that he knew a fair  bit about the thriller genre leading to show a personal want from a thriller film. He wanted more action and 'hot girls'. This would be more of an action  and intense thriller type of film.

Ross Lee:

When asking Ross he showed that he had general knowledge of what he wanted from a thriller film. It shows that he knows what he wants from a thriller film. he want the more action side with 'hot girls' but also the generic signifier of tension.

Mr Wade:
 Mr Wade had a very good understanding of the thriller genre and had the longest running description of the four interviewees. He went over significant points of a thriller film and told us that a good thriller should include plenty of action.

 

 

Overall we found that a good thriller must include plenty of action scenes, include lots of tension throughout and that the storyline must match with the film so the audience don't get confused during the film.

 

 

Improvements:

Some improvements that could have been made were:

-Use a camera rather then a phone as it is shaky and the quality was worse.

-use a variety of ages/jobs of the public rather than mostly at the same ages.

-Better use of editing from the vox pop so it flows more smoothly together.

Preliminary peer assessment:

FRom our final product, the results that were peer assessed include:


We found that these were average results and that for our product to be better, it should add non-digetic sounds, more efficient filming and uses of continuity editing.

Preliminary Task

Work that we took to create ideas for the preliminary:



                                                                       This is the mise-en-scene that we came up with to use in the product to make it more effective and to make the product more organised as we knew what to include in each scene.






This is the script that we used for the product as it included each character and tells us what they each say in order so the actors didn't get mixed up and read off the script instead of making what they say up.
















This is the storyboard used for the product. We designed a storyboard because it was much simpler to use when creating the product as we knew what occurs in each scene including mise-en-scene and each camera shots used. I drew each scene per box drawn.


   This is the camera shot ideas that we came up with. We wrote them all down and found examples to make sure that each camera shot we were using was right and that we didn't get any camera shots mixed up in any way.

Introductions to movies

For this I analysed the film 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the world.' At the start it instantly shows the cast of each character mentioned in the film. It starts off with the main actors then moves over to less important roles compared to the start persona's once the title of the film has appeared from the main actors. About halfway through, it changes mentioning the director and co-director first since these people created the film and should be credited first in the production roles. It then proceeds to  each of the production team until the end including costume designer, editor and music designers as each play a part in the creation of the film.
The typography is a gaming type of typing as it looks cartoonish and matches the genre of the film.



 

 

 

 

 

 

I analysed the film 'Indiana Jones & the temple of doom' title sequence. It starts off with the creator of the film as he is the most important in the making of 'Indiana Jones.' It then moves onto

the main title of the film introducing it towards the audience. Then it introduces the actors one at a time by importance in the film and moves onto the production teams roles which are very close together near the ending of the title sequence.
  The typography in the title sequence is old looking and straightforward getting the audience a brief idea of the genre of the film.

ISL Task 1 Camera shots and Angles

Camera shots and angles:

Extreme close up shot – this shot is used for extreme detail on the person/object. It gives the viewers a sense of reactions and emotions of the character.

Close up shot- this shot is used to show detail of an object so it makes small objects seem bigger on screen e.g. an insect. It also gives detail on the object/person so the audience is able to see facial expressions and parts of the close up clearly.

Medium shot – this shot is used to show the in-between of a closer and long shot. This gives the effect of a conversation as the camera is the right distance away from the speaker. This gives the effect of the audience talking to the person.

Long shot- this is used to show the entire view of the object/person and gives the audience an idea of whom/what it is. This is used to create an effect of the scale of the object.

Extreme long shot – this shot is used for extreme scale to show a long shot but for larger objects in a large scale scene such as buildings or bridges.

Point of view- this shot is used to show the characters perspective to give the audience an idea of who the character is and what is going on in the shots.

Overhead shot – this shot is used to show a bird’s eye view of the person. This can give the impression of power over the character as the viewer is much taller and ‘looks down’ onto the character.

Low angled shot- this is taken from a low perspective looking up at the character. This shows power/authority of the character over the viewer. It also makes the character seem more dominant and stronger.

Canned shot- this is where the shot is taken at an angle. It is used to confuse and make the audience unbalanced. It can show craziness and mental issues of the character.

Balanced shot – this shot is used to show the balancing/symmetry of characters. This shows both characters are equally important and no one is overpowering another character.

Framing:

Rule of three- This composition is used to mentally divide your viewfinder into thirds horizontally and vertically. This Places your primary point of interest on the intersection of two lines and puts the object where the viewer can easily see it.

Framing- this is how the picture is positioned in the shot. It also shows certain parts/angles of the shots to give a sense of mystery as there might be more of the shot but hidden behind the frames.

Simplicity- this is too remove anything in the background simplifying the shot so the audience’s main focus is on the certain object.
