Certification/Classification

These are the guidelines of films for example. Classifications is the age guidelines of films. If there was not any age guidelines in films then children would be going to films they could have a very bad effect on them.

These are all of the age classifications:

• 
  Suitable for all
• 
  Parental guidance
• 
  Cinema release suitable for 12 years and over
• 
  Video release suitable for 12 years and over
• 
  Suitable only for 15 years and over
• 
  Suitable only for adults
• 
  Adults works for licensed premises only

We usually see these on the film title picture. 

Vox Populi

Vix populi can also be shortened down to vox pop. This is when you go to a random location and ask a random group of people. This is also known as "Voice of the people". You will go and gather a fair amount of people to ask questions to. This is because the people you are asking do not know who you are so there is no way for them to make a biased opinion on what you are doing.

Analysis of film title.

With our film titles we kept in mind that we would need to try to keep it short and fast  paced. This is why instead of cutting to black each time to show a different name we decided that we would play names while the thriller was playing in the background. This gave us more time to fit in all the names.

We done it in the normal order that we was told except instead of putting the title in the middle of the names, we put it at the end after "Directed By Danny Boylan".

Rough Copy

This is our close to finished version of our Thriller. We still need to tweak a few things like the titles and sound effects and music times and how loud it is. As a group we think we have done well to produce this. The full finished version should be on here by 12/02/2014.

Studio Idents.

This is the paramount logo. It is quick and has developed over the years of the production company. It is short and represents their name of the company. It also shows the film is by paramount and gives then there own unique logo.

Effect of the Title Sequence.

I have researched what the title sequence is for. It is mainly for the reason to et across who is in the film what they do and who done it.

One other very important role that the titles can play in film is setting a mood. If you are having an action thriller film then you would want your title sequence to be fast passed and very up front and quick. For example 

For example the expendables opening credits show every character and gives a rough idea of their personality and responsibility.

The title sequence also a lot of the time will give the film its own personal identity. This means that the film will be unique and it is trying to set it aside from the rest of the films that you watch.

It can also tell us the period of time it is going to be set in and also a slight idea of where it is going to be set as well.

Sound effects

We have not used to many sound effects. This is because there were not as many points in the video were we needed to use them.

However one point where we did use them was the scene when I was shot in the stomach. We added a gunshot sound but we did not need a flash of the bang because we blocked the gun with my body so it is off-screen sound as well as using it.

We may still add some other sound like police sirens so the killer knows he needs to leave.

Music used.

The music we used was called:

Epic Suspenseful Action Music Instrumental #2 Dramatic Intense Heroic Movie / Film Soundtracks 



We needed to ask premission to use this, so I quickly sent an e-mail to the owner of the song just in case. Even though we was already able to use it. This is because int he description of another video he made called "copyrigt claim on my music". It said in the description You may use my music if it is in a non profit video. SO I still sent an email to get confirmation what was given the thumbs up.

Plus we still ahve the right to fair use seeign as we are using this for non profit.

Targert Audience

We decided as a group that our target audience would mostly appeal to males between the ages of 15-25. We have rated out film a 15 because it has violence and some bad language but is not too explict.

However we feel it will appeal to both genders it will mostly appeal to men.

From our audience research we found out that a lot of people have a lot of different opinions on film. The most voted film genres were comedy and Thriller.

Most people watch films at home or in the cinema. At home can be from a lot of different things. It seems like mostly people watch them on DVDs.

People do not go to the cinema a lot from our research it seems like its mostly once a month.

People seem to not have a favorite type of film or the type of story lines. By the answers it seems like exciting films.

By the story line of kidnapping most people say if it was exciting and fast paced it would be good.

Second day of filimg!

The second day of filming took palce in a mekmber of our groups shed.

It took palce in the shed because it had the right atmosphere and it looked like soemthing that suited the mood.

maintain continuity by making sure the costume was the same and we managed to fully complete all of our filming.

 

This is where the filming took palce at first this was the location that we had to travel to. That day the weather was good and sunny the same as it was on our first day of filming. In my opinion I would have perfered if it was raining because it would have created a better atmosphere.

 

These were some of the shots we was able to take in the room. As you can see form the picture it is quite messy and un organized so this gave the feeling of mystery.

 

The stool in the room was where I was sitting and was being shouted at by Matas (Group Member).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This picture is showing the different tools that we was going to use to threaten me and get me to answer things.

 

While we was recording we change a few things around. The problem with doing this is that we had to re do the storyboard and animatic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was the scene where I was actually being tortured this was jsut before we started recording. As you can see we applied blood to my face to compensate from the previous scene where I had been punched to show it actually did damage.

Audience Research!

On Thursday while we was editing the last parts of out Thriller trailer.

Ellese had decided to do an audience research. She had brought the camera into school with her and film some people asking them the questions;

What is our favorite genre?
How often do you visit the cinema?
How do you usually watch films?
What story lines attract you?
What do you think about a narrative that surrounds kidnapping?

We will put this into final cut express and upload to youtube and then put this on our blogs!

Our studio ident.

I made this in the time we had because the ones I had made before were either two long or came across as a normal youtube logo.

Our survey.

We have now made a survey.

Production Company Name

We called our Production company name. HamProductions.

If we are being honest there is not one specific reason for calling ourselves this. It is simply because this was the name of my youtube channel that I used to upload videos on before I started media studies.

So we decided that it was the easy choose of a name and we felt that it stuck quite well anyway.

This is some of the art I have made for my channel before and we thought that we could possibly use this for something in our thriller.

I have now made some new art for the thriller.

I have made a lot of art for my channel and the thriller this is because I enjoy editing and it is one of my main past times.

25 Title - Disappearance 

First day of filming!

The first day of filming included us having to wake up very early and meet outside of Robert Clack. The location we choose stayed the same as how we recorded is on our location sheet what was Hainult forest. It was about an 50 minutes of a journey to get there. We had to make sure everything was in order for us to go and film there otherwise our recording may have been not as good quality as we wanted to be. In my own opinion I would have liked it to be slightly raining. I felt this would have added to the effect of the video. This is because we wanted it to be slightly dark. This is why in the editing process I may added some colour correction to give more of an effect. 

We did manage to finish the whole first sequence of recording this was the chase scene. I think we all hoped that it would have been slightly longer but this shouldn't matter. One of the main problems that we had during filming was that it was very muddy around where we was recording. So we have a lot of shots of us falling over. Some shots were harder to get during the recording for example the crane shot we had to scale up a tree and hold the camera up. Others were a lot easier for example the POV shot was easy to do.
