Question 4&5 part 2

^^^^^
This is a student film that has had well over 100,000 views on the video sharing website called Youtube. Youtube is a great place to advertise and share videos, because unlike my personal Facebook page people would be able to see our movie opening all over the world.

Our thriller movie opening is an independent film that can be released on Youtube and Vimeo and was produced by a low budget production company. Our opening was shown at a small cinema screen, but due to the face that we are low budget and independent we would not have any cinematic world wide release.

Question 4&5 part one

On the internet there are many ways to distribute and advertise film and TV productions, one of the most popular ways to do that now is to shared it on the internet on a social networking site called Facebook. Facebook is a popular for advertising such productions because people from  all over the world, it is also popular because anyone can see it an any news on it.

The movie Transformers (below) has its own Facebook page where people can read new information about the movie, people can also look at news and updates about the movie.

 

Although we did not make a whole Facebook page for our thriller opening I did share it onto my personal Facebook page, After I did this a lot of my friends went on the link and watched my opening, and they commented or just liked the link of the movie. This shows how a lot of people can access the same thing due to the internet.

The Uninvited Trailer

Question 8 - Final film + Prelim

In this clip we do not have any Mise En Scene, because we filmed this at college and it was not a prepared location.

The film  is our Thriller opening. This short clip was the one we recorded after our prelim. In this clip your can see that we have used a lot Mise En Scene, we used Mise En Scene to show the relationship between the man and the woman. We also sued the Mise En Scene to represent that something is wrong. (Cans and cups everywhere)

Question 2 - Social groups in our Thriller opening

In our thriller there are a few social groupa tht can be interested in this movie.

A group that can be interested  in the romance story, which is usually women, this can be connoted by the mise en scene of the couple in the photoframe.

Another social group that can be interested in this thriller are people who are interested in suspense. There is suspense in the very last scene of the opening when we see the arm of the woman and the glass cup on the floor as it leaves the audience wondering whether she is dead or alive.

EVALUATION - Feedback of our Thriller opening

Good points:

- Suspense
- Long shots
- Characters
-Mise en scene

Criticism:
-Could have been faster (in pace in editing)
- Softer non diagetic sound
- Could have used dialogue 

Evaluation - Question 7: What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Together we created an animatic movie, including images, screen grabs, videos and voice-over to explain all the different types of technologies we used and came across right from the start up until the making of our thriller.

Evaluation - Question 6: Audience feedback and comment

Recorded audiences feed back of our thriller. Here we chose an audience that is actually targeted by our thriller as they are in their late teens, and our thriller targets audiences that are in their teens (because of the main characters being quite young), and above, because of the whole thriller aspect which is mainly enjoyed by adults.

Question One - Thriller Stills

In the television drama 'Dexter' the opening is very different compared to our opening, this is mainly because of the type of camera angles used. Most of the camera angles used in this opening are close ups and extreme close to emphasize the connotations of blood and murder.

For our movie opening we have used many long shots to establish the environment in which the scene is happening. The use of long shots was also useful because it shows all the Mise En Scene in the scene to, as most of the Mise En Scene is important.

Question 6 - Audience Feedback

 

These are some of the words people used when describing our Thriller opening 'One Way 61363'

Bloopers

 

 As you can see there were times when the actors did not know if it was time to actually act or not and so we wasted a lot of the camera's battery on this.

 

 Some shots were really hard to do because we kept laughing, but in the end we got there :) .

                                                           And more laughing..

At times because the actors were not sure if they were within camera focus, they were not in the right position for instance the girl on the bed was originally meant to have her leg falling out, but because she thought the camera only focused on the male actor she didn't have this and also the male actor started laughing, because he too thought she was in the shot.

Final edit - One Way 61363

Editing

This is a screen recording of us producing our sound. We combined two sounds to make it sound more dramatic and have a bigger impact on the audience, however the top sound was not long enough so we had to add the same one and over lap it in order for it to last throughout the whole thriller.

How we came up with our Thriller title

When thinking of what our title should be we knew it had to be short and catchy otherwise it would be too hard to remember. At first we thought about having it as just the number of the ticket one of our main props, however after doing a bit of re search we realised that there aren’t really any films which use numbers for titles, and for good reasons. Because of that we finally came up with ‘One Way 61363’ which reflects the ticket the main actor was holding, and the fact that its one way suggests that he does not plan on coming back here, to her. The number 61363 symbolises the number of the ticket which we found online and printed out.

Also by using numbers in our title it rule out the possibility of attracting only a certain type of audience, because numbers appeal to everyone, and thrillers too appeal to both female and male audiences, because they have crime which is more toward a male audience, but they also have suspense which leans more towards a female audience.

Editing

These are some pictures from our editing process. Most of the pictures were taken when we were still cutting our opening shorter on Final Cut Pro, because it was 3 minutes instead of 2.

Titles

This was filmed in the lesson while we were testing what sounds we could use for our background thriller music.
Unfortunately the sound disappeared so I replaced it with music :)
