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

1. I think my audience's expectation would be something that catches their attention to the eye. They would expect to see a plot that encourages adrenaline which would spark the "action" to progress in the film. Commonly in an action films my audience would love to see popular stars name on the billing block before they watch the movie because it gives them a brief idea of how this movie could be like if they watch it. For example, they would base my movie on the way that actor has given a certain amount of energy to previous movies and it would encourage/discourage the audience to watch my film.

The emotional response i would love to receive from my target audience is excitement because my movie will contain "ooh ahh" scenes and unrealistic events happening but at the same time i wouldn't want to encourage my vie...

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.

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...

Single Camera Production Assignment

Introduction Single camera production is the use of one camera within the media production, whether it be a music video, short film or even a movie. Single camera production also tends to use different camera angles and often requires a lot of editing after shooting. Single camera production is commonly associated with low budget films & film companies as they haven't got sufficient funding to purchase many high quality cameras for a film production. Advantages & Disadvantages Of Single Camera Production The advantages of a single camera production is that it makes the viewer feel like they are in the scene with one continuos shot. This encourages the viewer to feel more emotions than a film with more than one camera because the use of one camera establishes that the viewer is at the exact scene in real time. Another advantage is that it is cheap, this is good for low budget film producers as they don't have as much money to purchase more than one camera. Consideri...
