Film Trailers
Despereaux (2008)

This film trailer is 2mins 29 long and by watching the trailer i can infer that the genre of the film is Action/Adventure with an animation twist as it's about a mouse who can communicate with a princess and suddenly the rats kidnap the princess where the mouse himself goes to save the princess. This is why this is an adventure because the mouse is going to save somebody's life

Madagascar 2 Escape (2008)

The film trailer is 1min 50 long and by watching this trailer i can infer that this is another animation, action/adventure but it has more of a twist of genres than the first movie, and this contains sources of comedy, fantasy & romance too. I could tell about all these features because there was elements in the trailer which made me laugh to myself and also interesting elements that made me wanted to watch the film itself.

Harry Potter 6 (2008)

The film trailer is 1mins 41 long and this trailer shows the genre of Fantasy. Within the use of this genre, there are elements of action and adventure and also a blockbuster film since it used to be the worlds most talked about film. The reason why the genre overall is fantasy is because the movie has scenes that are not possible to happen in real life and this makes it unique for the filmmakers to make more money than the other filmmakers that are based in the same genre.

Easy Virtue (2008)

The film trailer is 2mins 4 secs long and this trailer shows the genre of romantic comedy. Within the use of this genre there are elements of drama and this always makes romantic films come to life as they involve real life situations.

Evaluation

My final production resulted to something different to what I had planned. The order of shots and scenes were placed in a different order opposing to the suggesting storyboard. This was mainly because one of the actors was not able to make it in on the desired shooting day and it lead to me making a few last minute arrangements. The beginning of my project was to start with a flashback scene of me mixing songs as it shows what I do in my free time. The reason why I couldn't film it and include it in my video was because I didn't have a tripod at the time to place behind me and capture me actually mixing the songs in real time. As this was a problem, I decided to make an introduction with myself rapping a part of my song to the camera in selfie-mode. Despite the fact that I had to rearrange a few scenes and include new ones, the whole production didn't come out badder than I thought. I managed to fit in close-ups, mid-range shots and also a established shots too. Establish...

Evaluation Of Radio Advert

At the end of making my radio advert it all was a dream come true but I had doubts that it wasn't good enough the way I planned it in and imagined it in my head. I felt the advert sounded great but could be better, like the way I recorded the voice overs, they could of been edited to make it sound much more clearer as if I actually recorded this thing for an actual radio station to broadcast out. I also felt like I could of used a better bed or range of different beds to signify the difference between the ups and downs of the information being provided throughout the advert. Nevertheless, the sound effects I used in my advert never clashed with the background bed I used and this was an amazing achievement for me meaning I had less to worry about in order of putting this advert together. It was also tricky to find a strong enough sound effect (Thunder Struck) to represent a real life sound to resemble fear/excitement to my product idea. The main reason for the use of the thunder st...

Initial Ideas, Log Book, ETC.

1. Initial Ideas My idea for my own single camera production is to make a selfie-styled documentary about a song/songs I've previously made and possibly record some further bits of a song that is already in the making. I could also include other hobbies such as my passion for radio presenting/producing and also performing too. I have some pre-recorded footage that I could include as my single camera production is a Documentary. I want there to be a range of key camera shots and angles, such as close-ups, mid-range, bird's eye and eye-level. Eye-level angle is going to be the key angle for my production as various scenes may contain people holding their phones to their face and talking about how they have contributed to the song/s. As I've got a 5 minute limit for my single camera production, I need to include key scenes as well as the angles I require them to be in. 95% of the footage is going to be filmed in college whilst the other 5% is going to be done at home as ...
