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. 

Final Storyboard

This is our final storyboard, which we intend to use throughout the filming process.

First Draft

This is our first draft, our final draft is going to be adapted quite a lot however this shows our stages of development and we thought you may want to take a look.

New idea

After gaining positive and negative feedback we have chosen to improve our overall piece by putting our feedback into play. We have drawn up a storyboard of our new opening and are re-filming this weekend.We are using more close up's to increase tention and increasing the pace of the running to make it more believable.We have got into contact with a local musician and are recording a classical piece tailored to the moments of fear and suspense in our opening. 

Editing Timetable

Here is our editing timetable! We were proud that we stuck to this and due to this managed to edit our final piece with in our deadline, even with our glitches along the way meaning re filming was needed.

We took individual time to edit and as a group for final desisions.

Our final piece shows we delegated our editing roles effectively and worked well as a group.
