As a group we have finally decided on our films name ...

BELLGRAVE PARK

We drew inspiration from the tv series 'Broadchurch'. We liked the idea of using a location as a name as it makes it more personal and therefore more intimidating to the veiwer. We also wanted the location to mean something sinister eg) grave. We researched into haunted and crime filled areas in the UK and Bellgrave came up. We used the 'park' due to our filming in the Calvery Car park.

IT'S A WRAP!

Well an exciting journey has come to an end! We have finished filming officially for Bellgrave Park! We have more interesting blogs to come so please carry on veiwing! 

Please carry on following,liking and sharing our film opening!

Our editing process

Many hours have been spent in this editing sweet.

Many strenuous hours but it's all worth it as we now have our final cut.

This memory stick has aided all of our editing, also showing how we have used multiple different media devises such as iPhones, memory sticks and iMac computers.

Final cut story line

Our final cut story line is now a chase scene, we see an innocent girl running through a carpark being chased by a girl of similar stature however in darker clothing with darker hair. 

The innocent girl makes it into her car and there is a moment of relief, however quickly followed by a jump moment when we see that the other girl chasing her is now in the car behind her. She then runs out of the car and runs down the stairwell, but this time the other girl has caught up with her and there is another jump moment when that girl goes to strangle the innocent one. She then strangles her to end the film opening. 

This leaves suspense and the un answered questions such as 'why is she being chased?' 'Do these girls know each other?' 

By us challenging the representation and having two girls of similar age, this makes it scarier as it makes people think that anyone could be their killer. Even the person sitting next to you now.

Here is our final film opening: 

We hope you enjoyed, if you have any feedback please leave a comment on our blog or alternatively on our you tube channel, facebook, twitter or Instagram pages 

Evaluation Questions

Polaroid Productions are hard at work preparing for our evaluation questions

Credits

In a motion picture, television program or video game, the opening credits are shown at the very beginning and list the most important members of the production. They are now usually shown as text superimposed on a blank screen or static pictures, or sometimes on top of action in the show. There may or may not be accompanying music. When opening credits are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence (such as the familiar James Bond and Pink Panther title sequences).
List in order: (Due to our play only being 2 minutes we are focusing on the top 5 credits)

Evaluation

Our most useful pieces of information?
Our director research gave us a wide range of methods of how to work and ideas. Also our research into Japanese horror helped us realise we had over stylised our film to be likes Japanese horror when we wanted a film opening more applicable to everyday life.


What do I know now I didn't know before?
We have gained a broader understanding of how to use different technologies including the Macs and iPhones, including many Apps. I personally have grown in understanding the use of transitions between clips and how to place them appropriately. 


What was our greatest challenge making this film opening?
Our greatest challenge was getting our music to fit our film due to our film and music heightening in tension at different points.Also our fractured filming at the end required a fractured sound to match  

Is there typical conventions in which our media product is promoted?
Yes, social media is a common way for low budget films to raise awareness and share their product.


What is the most effective way of promoting our product to our target market?

After looking at Instagram,Twitter and Facebook statistic in relation to our target market I saw an opportunity not only for free marketing but the ability to reach mass numbers of people quickly and effectively.
