Evaluation Activity 3

This is a commentary of Conor Redmond.

Evaluation Activity 7

 Looking back on the preliminary task i feel that i have progressed a lot with understand the types of shot to use and how to use them and to keep continuity throughout otherwise it is noticeable and will look bad on the film.

 I Feel that i have learnt when to use the match on action shots to good affect and to edit it correctly so that you cannot see the difference which is what happened during the preliminary task when Alex reached for the handle he re-reached for it again when we went to do the match on action. Where as in the final product we did it well and made sure that this mistake didn't happen again.

I Also learnt how to use the 180 degree rule i feel that we used it effective in both the preliminary task and in the final task because we did it right keeping to the rules of the 180 degree rule.

I finally learnt how to use the shot reverse shot which i feel that i am good at which we have used well in both of the tasks set.
I learnt how to use the camera to good use by learning these techniques and camera work with different shots like over-the-shoulder shots and using various other shots like close ups to good effect in the right situations.

Evaluation Activity 6

Camera: we used this camera for our media film.This camera is small and easy to use with decent quality for the task given and easy to have in all situations for our film this camera ended up producing good enough quality film. I feel that as a handheld camera it is very good .

 

Tripod: We also used a tripod for the making of our opening 2 minutes. We used this because it means that we can have a clearer film without any shakes if we just held it so the tripod was simple and easy to use.

Computer: We used a computer as well for various tasks as well using software like adobe premiere elements for the editing of our 2 minutes and Photoshop for the title shot, We have a few problems with our computer with the software constantly shutting down which was soon resolved and we could finish making out film. 

Evaluation task 1

These are the nine frame i have used because i think they are very distinctive frame throughout our film.   

Shot 1: I think that this shot is very typical in the superhero comedy genre films because it shows a punch with an actors name going over it so i think this shot is good.

Shot 2: I feel that this shot is very distinctive because it shows the evil villain doing a sign but its not very typical showing the villain in the opening 2 minutes.

Shot 3: This shot is an over-the-shoulder shot of the two hero's watching the news i think this is a very typical shot of an opening two minutes of the genre we are going for because it shows the two heroes together as mates watching television showing a close bond.

Shot 4: This shot is also an Over-the-shoulder shot with the same type as effect as shot 3 because it shows the two heroes bonding and having a conversation

Shot 5: This shot is highlighting the shot reverse shot use between shot 4 and this shot with the two heroes having a conversation.

Shot 6: This is a close up of one of the heroes hand reaching for the door handle to use the match-on-action technique which stood out for me watching the film.

Shot 7 : This shot stood out the most for me because it has the text in the top left corner saying ' The news:New evil villain ' and has a shot of the villain with the hood up and head down showing how mysterious he is but this shot is typical showing a threat on television that the heroes don't think they will encounter normally .   

Shot 8:This shot is of Alex playing one of the heroes as this links with shot 6 being a match-on-action shot.

Shot 9: This is the title shot of our film which stood out with the feel that it will be a film with action at the end of the 2 minutes.           

Evaluation Activity 4

This target audience would watch our film because of the type of music they would listen to is up tempo which is like the beginning  of our film with the film 4 ident. They would also like our film because they like superhero's like Batman and Spider man so a new superhero film would interest them. They also like comedy films and our film is a mix of comedy and action with superheros so would interest them very much because this is what they like. The target audience likes roles models the comedy with the awkward moments and the type of comedy this film has an i feel we have the same type of comedy film in our film.

Evaluation Activity 5

 This is our final film with annotations throughout to explain how we attracted our target audience and to explain what is going on.

Evaluation Activity 2

This is a shot of both Alex Valente and Christian Bale. 

Similarities: Both of these play lead roles in their films because Alex plays the main superhero but we don't see who exactly he is in the opening two minutes. Christian Bale who plays Bruce Wayne in the Batman films doesn't know who is going to turn out until he realizes he needs to save society.

Both play very hidden and mysterious roles in their films and want to do well for society and not link back to their real lives.

Their appearance is very similar with the rough look but looked after.

Differences: Alex has a sidekick  where as Batman works alone with his gadgets so that if someone gets hurt it would be him because he put himself in that situation.

Alex has a known enemy from the start after seeing the news , where as Batman after seeing the death of his parents decides he will safe society. In our film Alex is shown as mysterious and we don't know anything about him other than he likes a random joke and he watches the news where as Batman has to go into depth about himself to have a villain

We have chosen to go for this film 4 ident because film 4 are into our type of film which would be low budget and low level a British for example they also did the kings speech. it also gives the audience something to think about the type of film that will appear, but we are going to have some upbeat tempo music over this because this is quite a long clip and our target audience would like action upbeat music.
