Question 7:

I feel that I have developed as a film maker and editor quite dramatically since first starting media. During the preliminary we realised how important it was to not make the same mistake twice and make sure you have plenty of film. It also taught us the unconventional ways of shooting things sometimes pay off. Quirky camera angles helped create some shots we wouldn’t have thought of doing if we hadn’t just gone for it. This came across when shooting out main task because we thought back to our preliminary task and thought about giving it a go succeeds or fails letting you know not to try it again. It also helped me develop my attention to detail. Normally I would say “that will do”, but after studying media you realise how important it is to piece everything together and go the extra mile. We learnt the colour change editing skill in our preliminary and we wanted to use this in our final piece as a kind of signature to our work. People who have seen our preliminary task said that it was something they associated with our film so we used it again. I feel that it worked just as well, if not better the second time. I realised that planning for all events is a must and being clear with all your ideas and plans is equally important. Allowing others to express themselves in the group helps this because they might have the solution to an idea you have that doesn’t quite make the cut. Sticking to the plan was important but as in our preliminary, a lot changed from our initial plan. Even when you have a picture in your head of how it is all going to pan out, it doesn’t tend to happen. The changes we made were quite significant but I am pleased they happened because I think that it really added to the final product. I have learnt that producing a short piece of film is a lot more time consuming than you would expect it to be. I have also learnt that team work is key, as well as adding originality to the piece. If I were to do the project again, I would try organising things a lot earlier and better. We didn’t have reserve plans so when the location we thought we could have failed it stopped us in our tracks and hindered the whole production. I would also make sure everything is filmed a few more times. Maybe going everywhere and communicating together more would have helped because when it came to the day of filming, Niall and I had only seen pictures of the location that Ed had taken. I feel that as a group we worked really well. We are all interested in similar genres and directors so we can relate to each other’s inspirations. We also know each other well which meant we could spend a lot of time editing together. We all took on different roles in a way. Ed took a very creative position which he thrived in, as well as setting up shots and checking continuity. Niall helped with the continuity and offering a different perspective and eye for detail on the editing process. He also did a fantastic job of writing and performing both pieces of music in our piece. I took on the role of camera work at first, as well as helping the other two get to grips with the cameras. I was also quite heavily involved in the editing process with Ed and Niall. I would say that the editing was the most evenly spread part of the team process. I really enjoyed filming our thriller and I couldn’t have chosen a better group to do it with.

Question 6:

For our production we learnt how to use Cameras, Tripods, Apple Mac computer, basic editing software such as i-Movie and music software such as Garage Band. For the video shooting skills we firstly learnt how to film a steady shot using a tripod, then developed onto pans and then using different angles.

We learnt how to change the zoom length on the cameras and also using the manual focus on the DSLR’s. We used two Canon 550D’s to film our media work which we purposely used for the high definition they deliver, the interchangeable lenses and the ability to manually focus.

As someone who uses a DSLR for photography I already knew how to change lenses and what lens would suit a particular shot, and by the end Niall and Ed were both in tune with this as well. However, I had never filmed with a DLSR before so this was interesting and I feel that as a group we all coped with the step up very well. The camera allowed for some very interesting shots which we wouldn’t have been able to achieve with the school camera. For example, the school cameras cannot be manually focused which means that we could not do several of the effective shots e.g. the barbed wire shot.

For our editing techniques we learnt how to make basic changes to the footage. Although they were basic, we felt that this worked with the piece. The cuts were something we wanted to make perfect and we were really chuffed when we cut things to match the music. We had to cut and edit the footage to flow. For example, when the coin is picked up it is in time with the beat of the music.

This meant cutting and re-cutting meticulously.

Also with the colour touch up, we couldn’t use the same levels for each bit of film because the lighting conditions changed throughout the shooting of the footage.

This is also something we had to contend with; lighting. The day was overcast but the clouds were moving fast so the lighting conditions brightened and dimmed depending on the cloud cover. This meant that continuity and filming shots varied. We came over this by editing each piece individually and also shooting things several times. Shadows were also an issue because of the amount of time we were there, this effected continuity. Unfortunately we were let down by the equipment towards the end. When doing the zooming out shot, the camera starting to freeze every time, meaning that it didn’t come out as smooth as it should have been. Even using the shake reducing tool on i-Movie didn’t correct it.

Evaluation

Question 5:

To attract our audience we used a dual narrative. We felt that dramatic and obvious flash backs were over used and we avoided this by keeping the fact that it was a dual narrative and also a flash back until the end. I think that the hidden details and the subtle hints would appeal to our audience. I know this because in the interview our audience asked for evidence, which means we could conceal some to make them question what they were seeing. The questioning of what they were seeing was something else we picked up on in the questionnaire. In terms of editing, we wanted to keep the majority of it subtle, but we felt that keeping it the same all the way through would bore the audience. The use of the black outs helped keep the piece broken up but flowing so the viewers paid attention. We wanted the audience to be intrigued as to what or who the detective found. We didn’t want to give too much of the story line away so the viewer was left thinking “what happened? Why? When? What happens next?”. This engaged them because they had to take the little clues that were there and also knowing what the killer looks like might add to the tension later in the film. This is because the detective might walk straight past them and you are sat there thinking “get them, they’re right there!”. I think we met our audience’s expectations by keeping the piece simple but effective. Simple camera worked quite well because of the use of angles and focusing. The focusing was something that was picked up in the post editing interviews. It created mystery as to who each person was before they were revealed.

 The story line is quite basic but pleases the audience because there is an overall puzzle to solve. The BBFC guidelines affected our thriller quite a bit because limited what could be included. This didn’t affect the focus group we chose to evaluate our work because they all were above the age restriction we set. Looking back at our focus group video, it appears that our thriller was a success. The majority said that there wasn’t anything they would change to it and also the use of focusing was a key element most of the picked up on and really liked. The story suited them quite well but could have had a bit more direction to it. I think it reached their expectations from the feedback we got, and people we didn’t ask gave us feedback saying how much they enjoyed it. This feedback was given on the social networking site Facebook.

Question 4:

We researched BBFC to find out what age would be suitable for our opening. The British Board of Film Classification has been classifying cinema films since 1912. It is an independent board that is not funded by government or the film industry. It classifies films on what they contain and give them an age restriction. The specifications for a rated fifteen film are as follows: “Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, strong language and one use of very strong language, moderate-strong violence/sex references, and undetailed sex activity”. Our opening confines itself in these criteria easily. For one, the only adult theme we have is murder. As shocking as murder is, the audience does not see the assault take place so this also passes moderate-strong violence. Having no dialogue meant that we didn’t have to edit out any swearing from the script or video. As for the sex activity, there is not reference or hint that it would happen or has happened. By reaching this criteria we can aim for an audience of teenage ages (fifteen years and over) up to the 50 year old margin. This leaves is quite open for different age groups. We researched what teenagers were looking for by interviewing our peers (featured on our blog). We went for different genders and people with different ideas on what a thriller should feature and used them as well as we could.

The audience profile that we were aiming for is that of the above. These are teenagers over the age of fifteen who enjoy thrillers. We know this from our audience research. We chose both genders because it gives a broader opinion on what should go into a thriller. By asking for their views we can tailor it to them in a way. And as I said before about having a broader opinion, it means that the ideas are varied, just like the publics would be which helps us hit the target. From our questionnaire we picked out certain features and ideas that the interviewees liked in a thriller and put them in a Wordle to see well. Almost like a check-list.

There are many types of thrillers and different thriller sub genres appeal to different people. For people who like solving puzzles they might be drawn to a crime thriller, whereas adrenaline junkies might be drawn to a thriller that constantly keeps you on edge. We went for a mix of the two, making it a puzzle and also exciting.

Question 3:

For our thriller, I would use Warner Brothers. Entertainment, inc. They are an American company that produce film, entertainment and television. They are a branch off from Time Warner and have their headquarters located in California and New York. Warner Brothers itself has companies branching off it such as Warner Brothers Studios. I would choose this company for several reasons. Firstly they are a big, well known of firm which are also thought of highly in the film industry. This would help promote the thriller because people associate their films with a high standard; therefore they would assume ours follows that benchmark.

 Secondly they have an abundance of resources. Being such an established company they have years of experience which would help us because we have none. Part of the resources would be a non restrictive budget which in turn means plenty of pricey publicity opportunities. Our opening would fit into this company because they have a wide genre of films released by them. There have been a few classic/amazing thrillers released by them in my opinion such as The Dark Knight. Other thrillers released by them include: V for Vendetta, One Missed Call, and The Getaway. I would say out of all of these, The Dark Knight is the most similar. For starters, TDK has the clear sense of good and evil. In our thriller this same message is portrayed with the murderer and the detective. Secondly the ideals behind the music are close. Batman has the monotonous drone that ours has when trouble starts to brew. In ours, as the story is revealed and you see the problems that have arisen the music is a constant pitch and tempo. The big difference is when the music at the end of ours picks up. Also, our opening isn’t as action packed as the Dark Knights but reveals quite a lot.

Evaluation

Question 2:

In our production we tried to portray the classic good/ justice, the innocent and the bad. For the justice aspect of our production we decided that there are one group of people who are commonly seen as protectors and good doers; the police. We asked Ed’s dad to play the role because we felt an adult as a police officer makes the character more realistic. Costume was a big part of this. After watching TV series such as Luther, we decided that the attire that would further the authenticity would be a suit worn slightly scruffy and a long coat. We feel that this worked quite well to portray him as a detective.

Barry also had quite a stern look about him which helped, and when discovering the body he did a face that made it look like he was thinking “here is another one, seen it before but it is still a shame”. This shows him as being an experienced detective because the idea of him going through the same tragedies again and again means that he has been in the business maybe too long. His eyes really concrete this because they look aged, tired but still sharp.

 We tried to make his car look like a detective’s car by installing a strobe, but unfortunately this wasn’t as effective as we thought it would be. This is because the daylight was stronger than the strobe light. Although it is still visible, it didn’t give such a big impact or give away who he was.

For the victim we tried to dress and give him the behaviourisms of somebody that is a nobody and clearly has something wrong with him. For this we used the shots of playing with the coin as a way of making the character seem like he was trying to keep his mind off things.

We tried to get Niall to act like he was on edge a lot of the time. This was done by subtle facial impressions and when he runs his hand through his hair like he is stressed or anxious.

By dressing him slightly scruffy and in ordinary clothes we aimed to make it seem like he could be anyone that you would see on the street and wouldn’t think twice about them being murdered.

The police tape was added as a serial killer calling card.

For the murderer we didn’t attempt to make him (me) look like a crazy serial killer and really obvious. We did subtle things such as a sinister facial expression and rubbing of the hands. To stick to the convention of turning the normal into the extraordinary we dressed me in normal but clothes that concealed the killer’s intentions, making it seem like someone you wouldn’t look twice at.

We used the golden mean when we filmed the killer entering the scene, picking out key things.

The lighting in the chip shop worked well because it gave a yellow, warm glow. This softened features and gave a false sense of safety. It is protecting the victim from the cold, but not the killer. The softness the light gave helped us because it helped give the subtle feel of flash back which meant that in editing we didn’t have to go over the top with trying to make it look like a flash back. The sound in this part was quite important. We kept the monotonous, tense music running through the scene but added in sound over the top. We wanted to give the feel of the character being in a busy place but isolated and left to his own troubles. To do this we looked at making the sounds appear as if he was listening to something under water or with his ears covered. We took the natural sound from the chip shop and opened it on Garage Band where Niall added an effected on it. The final result was good because you can vaguely hear the sound of people talking, plates and cutlery crashing together but it is all flat and echoed.

Commentary

Evaluation

Question one:

Our task was to plan, shoot and edit the opening for a new thriller movie. It had to be unique, not a remake of a classic, and fit the typical conventions of a thriller. The age category we were aiming for was 15 years and above. We went for this age range because it didn’t limit us too much. Being a fifteen we could have used mild references to violence, where as an age such as a 12 would limit you on showing this. A thriller tends to turn the normal into the unexpected. This can be done in many different ways, for example; psychologically. Thrillers inject the viewers with a sense of fear and mystery without turning into the horror genre. For example, the lacks of gore in thrillers help keep them in the genre. However, there are many sub genres in the thriller genre so the conventions can change dependant on what it is supposed to fit. The main features of a thriller are suspense, mystery, mild or strong violence, a thick plot, things being left out and as I have said before; making the ordinary extraordinary.

In the first two minutes of a thriller it is important to establish key parts of the narrative as well as important characters. By creating a narrative you can hook the audience in because they want to find out what happens next, like in a good book. The narrative can be set up by using camera shots, sounds and mise-en-scene.  By using camera shots that reveal key things or hide certain aspects deliberately it can create a captivating narrative. For example when we did shots from the embankment we made sure that it was at an angle that deliberately stopped you seeing the body.

Sound can trigger certain feelings or emotions which also help to build a narrative or mise-en-scene.  For example, in The Dark Knight they use high pitched strings. This creates tension, especially when it gets faster because it is an eerie sound. The audience then associates that whenever this music comes on that something is going to happen. We tried to achieve this sort of effect by playing the echoing music with the edgy drums to create a mystery feel to the piece. To gain inspiration for the thriller opening I looked towards one of my favourite directing teams; the Coen brothers. I watched their beginning to No Country For Old Men for ideas for camera shots, sounds, editing etc. I also looked at another of my favourite directors Quentin Tarantino for editing and shot techniques. The opening to No Country For Old Men affected our thriller opening because we liked the idea of the isolation and normality to it. The wide open shots and the police car on its own really emphasised how desolate it was and this was something that came forward in our work we feel.

 As for Quentin Tarantino, his influence came across in the form of the titles. We used our trade mark freeze frame with colour change for titles which has its roots from Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs.

The panning out shot when Barry walks away from the body also helps to add the feeling of isolation because you can see all the surrounding countryside and how small he is compared to the expanses.

The coloured arrows mean the scene changes (red-detective, blue-diner).
The coloured circles show the character (key above).

This storyboard will be taken out with us when we are filming, so we all know clearly what needs doing and what must be filmed. This makes sure we get what we initially went out to film, but also means we can get extra footage that we think of as we do the shoot.

Video Blog Episode 2

The next video in our video-blog series documenting the progress. We prefer doing the video blogs because it enables us to discuss our ideas with each other and explain our ideas easier.

Media Team Episode 1

Our media video to document the progress that is happening for our thriller!

Rough story board

This rough storyboard shows our planning at an early stage. This acted as a rough layout for the camera angles and locations that are going to be used in our thriller. The titles are missing from this storyboard as they will be decided upon at a later time to make sure that the titles we use will fit with the footage as best as possible.

The following is a list of shot descriptions that describe shots 1 to 17.
1. Car heading towards camera on lonely, stretching road. Establishing shot.
2. Medium shot of main character through windscreen as the car slows down.
3. Low angle shot in slow motion as the main character steps out of the car.
4. Long shot of main character walking towards camera with strobe police light in background.
5. Coin flips down from camera into hand.
6. Medium shot of a man, sideways on, alone in a diner/cafe booth.
7. Close up of man's face, sideways on. Shows fear and apprehension.
8. Diner door swings open. Changes scene.
9. Prolonged tracking shot of Main Character walking across the field. Tree swipes the scene to the diner.
10. Side tracking shot of man walking into diner.
11. Man walks past character in the booth. Slows down when he reaches for something, but it's nothing.
12. Main character follows drag marks to scene. Over the shoulder shot.
13. Pan to show dead body but face.
14. Close up of main character's face. Portrays no emotion. Sets character up as hardened.
15. Close up of dead guy's face. Revealed to be the diner guy.
16. Long shot of whole scene, with main character in the centre.
17. Focus change shot in the diner, revealing the killer is in the booth behind the man.

A "neat" version of the story board will be created to add any changes to the scene and show more detail.

The BANNED List

We have created a list of banned features for our thriller, they are as follows:

Chase scene,

Stupid guns,

Axes,

Lots of blood,

Extreme murdering,

Masks,

Screaming,

Running,

No post apocalypse

Excessive swearing

Nothing out of context e.g based in the 1950’s with a mobile phone

“it’s all a dream”,

Ninjas and pirates,

Space,

Bourne,

Bourne films,

Dodgy sound tracks and effects,

Narration,

Awkward sex scene,

Drugs and booze,

UN necessary smoking,

Rubbish costumes,

Dodgy setting,

Signage,

No suicide,

Chainsaws,

No dodgy flash backs e.g warp effect.

We have done this to try and keep the piece authentic. We feel that by missing out these features it will look more profesional and create more of an atmosphere.

Questionaire Video

We gathered three members of our class who gave feedback from the Power Point in lesson for a questionaire concerning the direction of our thriller. We wanted to make doubley sure that a detective/crime thriller would be a good idea. We asked them questions and video recorded their responses.

From the video we took that a crime related thriller would be a good idea. This is because a crime based thriller was brought up by our audience. We also have decided that a physcological catch or twist needs to be added because this was a frequent answer in questions. We need to make the audience quite nervy and get them hooked into the story line. Also, music choice is key so we might have to compose our own monotonous piece because this proves to be quite popular.

On a final note, "badies" are still to be considered.

Now we are going to move on and draft a story board from our ideas.

This questionaire video has really helped because you get a lot more detail out of the people bieng asked then you would on a tick box questionaire on a piece of paper.

Outline of ideas taken from the Power Point feed back

Idea 1:
Pitch idea one is set up to be a detective/crime thriller opening. The general "plot" of the opening would revolve around a detective arriving at a crime scene. We would use a variety of low angled shots, and panning shots, to give a sense of authority and power to the detective on camera. The crime scene would utilise police tape to make it look authentic and the car that the detective would arrive in would be fitted with a strobe light, to give the film a feeling of authenticity. The location we would use would be a bleak spot in the countryside to really emphasise the feel of isolation, which would help to follow some typical Thriller conventions, such as isolation and tension. The titles would appear afterwards and would be colourful and stylised, which would give it the feeling of a 70s police thriller. the detective in the scene would wear a suit and long coat to give him a sense of formality whilst the victim who briefly appears at the end, will be dressed more scruffily and casually, to give a sense that nobody will miss him. For the sound, we were thinking of going with monotonous sounds to give a feel of impending danger.

Idea 2:
The second pitch idea would be a Western themed opening, set in a snowy forest. The opening would be set around a mysterious man, dressed in western attire, walking through the snow, carrying a shovel. It would be a simple idea, but the use of tense guitar music would help to generate a feel of suspense. The fact that the man is carrying a shovel raises questions about the man's motives and activities, which helps to engage the audience like a Thriller should. The sound would be tense guitar music to back the things happening on screen, whereas the location would be an big wood, covered in snow, to give the impression of a cold, unwelcoming landscape.

Idea 3:
Our third idea would be set in a busy diner and would focus around a smartly dressed man who has obviously let themselves go. The "plot" will focus around this man getting more and more agitated, and then the person hunting him is finally revealed sitting behind them. The victim would wear smart attire, possible a suit and a coat, yet would wear them scruffily indicating he is stressed and on the edge. The "Murderer" would wear a Raincoat and would be otherwise dressed smartly which would create a contrast between the hunter and the hunted, and would suggest the killer is cold, calculating and professional. The sound used in the video would be the audio from the diner, but distorted in places to give a surreal feeling of isolation in a busy and crowded place.

Reception and Final Idea development:
The pitch ideas were positively  received yet the western one was criticised for being too ambitious. The other two ideas however were received well and we have decided that we would combine them into our opening by using a dual narrative. This would help to incorporate lot's of elements we initially wanted to use (crime, detective, dual narrative etc) yet would include them all in an interesting way. For titles we were going to stick with the titles and style proposed in Idea 1.

Pitch of initial ideas powerpoint

Our media pitches were met with positive feedback. The people we showed our pitches too were taken in by the detective idea and the crime scene, but also liked the idea of using the diner, as it had not been mentioned previously. The western idea was laughed at a bit, and would have been very difficult to look authentic, so we have decided to go forward with the other two ideas. We wanted to use a dual narrative, and the two pitches that were received well can be combined into a finalised idea.

 

Analysis; Opening scene of No Country For Old Men

No country for old men begins with shots of the landscape. It is baron and desolate. You can't see anyone and there is no indication of where it is. This adds mystery to the scene. The voice over the top adds to the mystery because you don't know who he is or whether what he is saying relates to the storyline. The sound in the background is the organic sound of th landscape, e.g. the wind blowing through. This is used effectively to create mis en scene.

It then cuts to a shot of a man bieng led to a police car from behind. The viewer can still link to the landscape because it is the same as the shots before. There is alot of mystery at this point; the audience still don't know where they are, who the person bieng led to the car is or what they look like from the front. The police car looks dated and so does the police officer's unifrom, but you cannot tell much from the other person's attire. you are focused on the rolling sky, long road, the car and the two characters.

Once the person is lead to the car, it cuts to inside the car. The person in the back is still a mystery. Nothing is bieng given away because he is sat in the shadows. The image of him is broken as the offices gets into the car. This gives a feel of good and bad. The good sat in light and the bad lurking in the shadows. There is no clue as to where they have come from, what has been done or just any general story. As the car moves away we get the idea again of how empty the place is, you can see the road rolling on forever, just the officer and the man in the back of the car are there. This adds tension in a way because you begin to think that something might happen because they are alone. This is emphasised again by the natural sound of a breeze rolling through.

There is a jump cut to the police station. We see the officer sat on the phone, the sense of good and evil in the light and dark is shown again here as we can still not see the face of the other man, it is out of focus and in the shadows which creates tension through mystery. Tension begins to build at this point because your eye catches the movement in the background. The man starts to move up behind the officer, his face still hidden before attacking him. This throws the audience because it is unexpected and viscious.

It then cuts to a shot from the ceiling. This is the first time that we see the attacker, with his crazed face as he strangles the officer. This is a powerful shot because we see the affects on both characters. The officer is fighting for his life and the attacker is fighting to take it from him. They are composed in the centre of the frame so that we can see the marks bieng created on the floor by the officers shoes as he struggles. This is a very tense moment in the film as this is the first time that we see what the attacker is capable of. Something that is affective in this part is the lack of music or sound affects. They could have put frantic string music to show the panic and excessive choking noises, but they left it sort of natural which adds to the tension.

Prelim Evaluation

Whilst reviewing the footage of our Preliminary task, I took notes on what was good and things we could have changed.

Good Points:

• Continuity:I feel that we achieved our continiuty well. It flowed and costumes, locations, characters and room fittings were the same all the way through. 
• Effects: The effects added in during editing worked well for our piece I feel. The colour changing freeze frames livened the scene up quite a bit. We were going to add sound effects in but decided against it because we felt that it would lower the quality of the piece, and I think this helped it alot.
• Freeze frames: As said before, these livened up the piece and also added a feel of uniqueness.
• Fades:The fades helped seperate the locations and also made the transitions smoother. It also gave the idea of time passing, which created tension for the character about to be questioned.
• Editing: On a whole, the editing worked well. The effects added weren't over the top and we managed to put everything together smoothly. For those with an eye for detail, you will see that we edited to fit with the music.

Negatives:

• Continuity: When the two "officers" walk into the room they leave the door open, but when the camera changes to another shot it is fully closed.
• Editing: The shot where the two "officers" reach the door lasts too long, it could be cut down to run smoother with the punching in of the code.

From this task we have learnt the following:
Have an eye for detail and double check everything
Get a variety of shots that aren't on the shot list, this can help if some of the shots don't turn out how you expected them to be during editing
Think of the bigger picture when videoing, think of editing as well as what you have infront of you
Editing techniques allowing you to keep things flowing
Add your own unique touch to stick out in the crowd
Don't follow the norm

We will take these forward into our final production.
