Evaluation Outtakes

Our evaluations have now been filmed and edited with surprisingly very little stress involved! Here are some of our outtakes...

Film/ Vlog Outtakes

Here are our outtakes from this entire year from both filming and our vlogs. As I'm sure you can see we had a lot of fun throughout our Media Studies Course but a lot of time and effort was also put in. Here is Mac 4's best bits and also us looking like complete fools... Enjoy!

Evaluation script

Our script is complete and we hopefully plan to begin and finish filming our evaluation on Monday leaving us plenty of time to edit and improve anything by Friday!

Feedback

We managed to interview a couple of the audience members to give us feedback on our opening...

Showcase

Thursday was our Showcase evening. We were able to see our film on the big screen and it was also a brilliant way to see the audiences' reaction. We each said a small part to introduce our 2 minute introduction so we could give an incite for the viewers that have not seen it before.

Preparing for the Showcase

The showcase for our final film introductions is tomorrow, and we have just completed a small script for the introduction to our film. A quick vlog from Anna and I to explain how writing this has helped us with our evaluations!

Evaluation Questions

• In what ways does your film opening use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? 
•  How does your film opening represent particular social groups?
• What kind of media institution might distribute your film opening and why?
• Who would be the audience for your film opening?
• How did you attract/address your audience?
• What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this film opening?
• Looking back at your prelim task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the final film opening?

Beginning our Evaluations

Now that our films have been exported we have moved onto to the evaluation. Me and Lucy have partnered up and have already begun to write up our evaluation.

Final Film: Checkmate

Here it is...

Deadline Day

Time is finally up! Friday was deadline day and our 2 minute film opening has been finished and exported. It is strange to think there will be no more lunch time or after school visits to the media room to edit, but we are all very happy with our film opening and excited for everyone to see it!

Music

We have found the perfect music for our opening 2 minutes. Searching through dozens of songs on audionetwork.com, Anna finally came across 'Vampire Kiss' and luckily we then found it on YouTube and it is not copyrighted. Result!

Finishing Touches

Just a quick vlog to inform you of our progress. We have now finished our credits which are white and fade in and out during the two minutes. They are very subtle and plain which we really wanted as we feel that we don't want anything that will distract the audience from the film. 

We have also completed our Production company. Lucy and I came across a plain Cd and as the group had already agreed on the company name, 'Rolling Productions', we thought it would be quite clever to write the name on the Cd and then role it past the camera. Thinking from a media students perspective we also connected this with a camera rolling and using a Cd again relates to media.
