Evaluation Activity 1 (nine frames in my film)

:Evaluation Activity 1 - Nine frames in my movie

In creating my media film, we needed to create a film productions intro, I have tried to link it to our main genre horror, I used black and white colours to present creepy and sad emotions which links to horror, this could make the audience for our film wanting to see whats gonna happen because they never heard of the production company. I used crows as they represent evil and creepiness, But one thing I think needs to be improved is the name of the production company "Pixel Films" as it doesn't link to our film genre horror and it almost sounds like a kids production.I think our film production conforms to the general stereotype because it looks creepy which can attract the audience of the genre and its in black and white.

In our film we need to make all of the scenes in our film to be creepy and linking it to horror, in this scene I used a low camera angle shot, this is because it can show the activity of the main character, which is walking this tells us he is doing his normal activity walking home, this can be developed more by having the camera looking up in front of him, this is because it will make the audience weaker then the main character and the audience will think this character is important.

In this scene this is a good opening scene as it shows a young teen boy walking through a forest to go home, the murder "Leon" doesn't expect anyone to be walking through the forest at night which leads to a chase scene and then leads to a cliff hanger.

When editing the fonts into this scene I added an effect that made the text blurry and a fade

In making our film we wanted to show different prospective of people in our film we have the victim, the murder and the murdered, in this picture of the film we have the prospective of the murdered, the camera shot is a low shot which shows power into higher objects or people, in this picture we see Leon the murders head which tells us Leon has power as hes looking down on Kieran the murdered.

This scene is good as it can make the audience think what is happening, because a few seconds before this scene we have my prospective of seeing Leon dragging Kieran which can make the audience think something bad has happened. When I was editing this bit of the scene we have a pulsating affect showing someone is breathing and I could add a breathing sound effect to make this scene better.

In this picture we can see the location of our film, we decided to record in the forest as its a quiet location and also very spooky, When editing this film we decided to have it black and white to create a creepy vibe which links to our main genre horror. when picking the location we tried to pick the location with the most trees, in this scene we used a tree and a bush, to make the character look like hes hiding.

In this scene we can see a mysterious missing poster which is Leon the murder, but the audience doesn't know this yet, they find out at the end when he takes off his cap, the camera shot used here is a high angle shot where we see the poster on the ground which can tell us it isn't important, but it plays a big part in our film at the end scene because we see the missing boy at the end. this is also good as it can tell the audience that something bad has happen and could make the audience interest and maybe wanting to find out more.

In this scene we have the camera pan to the left from the missing poster to the chase scene, I think this was a good way to lead into the chase scene, as it doesn't look like a simple cut was made.

This scene is also a low angle shot and a full shot, which means the people running have power as they are higher then the camera and the full shot is a shot that shows around the location, which can tell the audience how gloomy and scary it is in the forest.

In this scene we used an over the shoulder shot to show whats in front of me, we also added a blurry effect because we didn't want to show the murderers face.When deciding the best location for the last scene we decided to go to the end of the hill, we also decided to not show much of all of the scene as the hill doesn't look like a cliff. also in this scene we added some dialog which the murder says"Silence" and i reply with "what do you want?!"

When we decided to make our film horror and thriller we decided to go with dark coloured clothing, In this scene we can see Leon wearing a black jacket, trousers and cap the colour black is used as it usually associated with crime and villains, In making our film we used the black cap to hide Leon's face which can make the audience engaged because they want to find out who is this person murdering random people. 

In making our film title we decided to make it simple but effective by having the background completely black and having a slight gradient on the letters from white to gray this is effective because the title looks creepy and it can also give an idea to the audience of what kind of film this is with the words "LOST" The colour black in the background can show death and sadness which links to the genre of horror and thriller.
