Evaluation

Here is my final evaluation and the presentation I made:

Posters in their Enviroment

I thought a nice way to conclude my practical poster work would be to Photoshop them into the enviroments they would be displayed in. Here they are:

Updated Project Plan

I looked back at the plan I had for my project at the begining of the year and noticed that we underestimated the time we need to film and make our posters. Here is my updated project plan, showing when I actually did complete my tasks. The things written in blue are what really happened, if different from what I planned:

Reflection on Shot Planning

I have been looking back at the plans our group made at the begining of the course for the days we would shoot and realised it took us double the ammount of time we anticipated. This was due both to the unreliability of our actors and our own optimistic time planning. This timetable is a more realistic presentation of how we used our time:

Teaser Feedback

We showed our teaser to a focus group of our target audience and asked for their feed back. We showed them the first draft and also a new idea we had for using the non-diagetic sound of a phone. Here is this new draft: This is the feedback we recieved:

New Website

I decided to make a new website that was similar to my new posters to help maintain more of a sense of brand identity. Here is my new website:

This is how I embedded my teaser into my website:

NEW POSTERS

I decided I wasn't entirely happy with either of my posters and so hand a think about some new, different ideas. This is what I came up with:

Poster Research

Poster 1 - Draft 2

Here is the second draft of my first poster:

I asked a focus group of my target audience to look at my poster and give me feedback. This is what they said:

Poster and Photoshoot Planning

Now I had finished filming, I needed to start work on my poster. Here are my intial ideas:

From these ideas I developed a photoshoot plan of the possible images I would need, as well as any others that might be useful:

When next on location I took the photos. I also thought of some other ideas whilst on the shoot witht the help of the rest of my group. Here are the results:

SHOOTING+Shot Log

This videos explains soem of teh problems we encountered while on set and also our blooper real. Enjoy :) Once we had finished our shooting, we logged all the shots we had to help when we edited our footage:

Music and Jamendo

We looked throught the site Jamendo to find copyright free music to have as the soundtrack to our teaser. To appeal to our target audience and help create the a party atmosphere, we decided to use Dubstep. Here are our top three choices: 1 Way 2 Paradise:
01 1 Way 2 Paradise

Futurance
01 Futurace

Halleluyah
02 Hallelujah

In the end, we decided to use a mixture of "Hallelujah" and "1 Way 2 Paradise" to mark the change in mood mid-way through the teaser. Ama mixed them together on Garage Band.

Camera Shot Research in Popular TV

After learning about some interesting and unconventional filming techniques in my media lessons, I started to notice them more in popular television such as Soap Operas. This was a great opportunity for me to evaluate how these techniques worked in reality and whether they would be suited to my teaser trailer.

This our the clips I discuss:
1.03 - 1.08


0.43 - 1.08 and 2.37 - 2.51
