Audience feedback Interview (written)

Mise-en-scene:

Me- By watching the screen and what’s within the fame do you think the mise-en-scene effective?

Mudan- The use of woods and natural lighting created a thrilling atmosphere and by watching what is within the frame I found this opening sequence interesting.

Editing:

Me- Do you think the editing in both action and music good quality?

Mudan- The editing skills I think is not that great because the sound and images don’t go well together and the editing seems unprofessional however I think you lots did well. The scenes are a bit sudden and I can feel the cuts, they could be a bit smoother.

Sound:

Me- Do you think that this sound track works well and compliments the action on screen?

Mudan- I think the sound/ music you have chosen is effective because by just listening to the sound I had already felt scared and engaged with the action going on screen.

Use of Camera movement:

Me- Do you think the use of camera could be improved or do you think it’s effective the way it is?

Mudan- I very much like the use of camera because it shows the prospective of both the killer and the main actress. I especially like the camera shakes because if el like i am the main character who is trying to escape.

Interview of Ideas Towards Our Film (video)

THIS INTERVIEW IS TO HELP ME AND THE REST OF THE GROUP TALK ABOUT WHAT CHANGES WE SHOULD MAKE TO OUR FILM BEFORE SHOOTTING THE ACTUAL FOOTAGE.GETTING A TARGET AUDIENCE POINT OF VIEW IS HELPFUL TOWARD THE PRODUCTION.

Audience feedback Interview (video)

THESE TWO VIDEO CLIPS ARE THE FEEDBACK FROM MY TARGET AUDIENCE, THIS IS THE FEEDBACK TO SHOW THE PROS AND CONS OF OUR FINISHED OPENING SEQUENCE FROM AN AUDIENCE'S VIEW. HOPFULLY BY DOING THIS WE (GROUP) COULD LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE ANOTHER FILM PRODUCTION SUCCESSFULLY POSSIBLY BETTER.

Evidence of Questionnaire Results (Female)

This is the results from a female target audience. Based on the results i have realised they both agree on having a male or female protagonist and prefer either a cliff-hanger or the antagonist winning because it is much more interesting that way.

Evidence of Questionnaire Results (Male)

This is results for the questionnaire i handed out. These results are from a male target audience i have realised from the results by the male audience that they prefer 18+ rated films.

First Draft of Questionnaire

This is the first draft of my questionnaire. By doing this i got a clear idea of what questions to ask my target audience and to make it even i asked 5 females and 5 males.

Production Schedule

This is the schedule I used to plan my time well so i could get my work on to the blog. The filming of our two minute opening sequence took part during these two weeks.

Perpetration Towards Evaluation

This image is a preparation towards my evaluation. I will be looking at these questions in depth in order to complete my evaluation successfully. I will be answering some questions in more depth than others. I will as so using images and a short video clip to create visual as well as a written evaluation.

The Finished Film

Production Design

Location

We had to different locations for our film; the locations were set in different days:

· The woods across the road from harrow weald college

· Outside Grimsdyke Hotel

Set design

The set was design was a natural wood and outside of a hotel:

Woods:

· Green leaves

· Tress

· Muddy and grass

· Grey sky

Outside the hotel:

· Grey sky but a bit of sun

· The hotel in the background

· Standing on top of the stairs

Props

· A phone& head phones- Lara uses this prop to show she is a business woman.

· One heel (shoe) - one heel she carries during the time she is being chased.

This shows her confusion throughout the chase scene.

· A Cigarette - to show Lara Boons high status because she is a business woman.

Special FX

We use special FX:

Camera handheld for most of the shots to get feelings and

POV of both the protagonist and the antagonist.

Sound Tracks: A heart beating and heavy breathing to show the fear of the antagonist.

Lighting

No lightings needed because we have decided to use natural lighting (the sun).

Costume

We looked at 3 different dresses and one smart outfit for our Grimsdyke scene.

Costumes that could possibly suit our actress included:

Dresses

· A black prom dress up to the knees and boob tube

· A blue denim boob tube dress up to the knees

· A grey, three quarter sleeved dress also up to the knees

We decided to use the grey dress because it’s more like what Lara Boon would wear and because it has certain connotations.

Business outfit

We decided to use black skinny fit jeans with a grey blazer, black heels and a white top for her work outfit.

Make-up

For her make –up we used natural face make-up:

· Mascara- to show she was going somewhere before.

· Eyeliner- smudged eyeliner to show she has been wearing her make-up

for so long also to suggest she has been crying.

· Hairspray- to get her hair messy an ruff

· Mud & leaves- to show she has been struggling to get away also

creates an enigma of what has been chasing her

Sound-track

We have decided to use this sound track for our film. The reason being we thought it would be perfect because of the Psychological sound effect. At first it was hard to find music that fitted in with the action within the Mese-en-scene.

Filming

These are a mixture of location shots and images from our first day of filming.
We only got done the second half of the scene as we didn't anticipate the weather and how cold it would be so we finished before we planned. Though we plan to go back and hopefully get more done when we are more prepared for the weather conditions.
The filming was done in the GrimsDyke Hotel grounds.
