For this task I used Microsoft Word 2007 and then uploaded it to Scribd.com which is a website which allows me to upload documents such as Word documents or OpenOffice documents, then you can get the embed code, and paste it onto any blog/webpage and view the document as it was made/designed to.
The slide containing photos above has all the photos to prove that me and Nick took part in the project, the Slide contains a verity of photos of me and Nick we have included photos of us both filming on set and also shots of us when we were using the other technologies used for the project E.G using the MACS for editing.
This is our Final version of the film we made titled, "Time Won't Tell", I have added annotations using the YouTube onsite editing web application. I have commented the USP's, Genre Conventions, Music used and the Similarities between our film and others
Genre Conventions Comments
Unlike most films of the same genre as our film we have broke the conventions, these broken conventions include;
Budget
Dangerous Phyical Stunts
and destructive disasters
We have broken the budget convention by the conventions of an action film, by having a really small budget, involved in the film making compared to standard films of this genre such as Bourne Ultimatum, James Bond and Die Hard, which have budget rising into the many hundreds of millions of dollars to blow on awesome special effects, etc.
Secondly We don't have any dangerous physical stunts involved in the sequence because we don't have any professional stunts person to cover for the actors, unlike any of the general films which would employee specialists stunt people and co-ordinators to do the stunts, like jumping though a window two stories below from a balcony of another building or crashing and flipping a car at high speed.
There isn't any destructive disasters which include; Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Volcanoes, etc. The reason why these aren't include is because of Costs/Budget and Special Effects, the costs of making these would be enormous and we didn't have either the computing power or specialist software to create these special effects.
We have followed the conventions of this genre of film in the following ways;
High Tempo
High Energy
Allows for Audience Escapism
The Film is a of high tempo and energy, and due to this it'll have the audience members on the edge of their seats wanting to see more of the adrenaline pumping, fast pace action film, along with that we have used the music accordingly.
Our film allows the audience to discover escapism whilst watching it, the film is believable, enjoyable and watchable it makes the audience want to watch, due to the fact that for a hour or two the audience can watch a film which makes allows them to relax but at the same time enjoy it and have their heart beat faster than just sitting watching a tv show, because of the high octane fast pace fof the action film.
This is Tom king who is 19 and lives in a small vilalge of Croft, in the leicestershire, he is a full tiem studnet who is studiying gegraphy,science. He is intrested in long distances runnig and weightlifting. he is a very active person who enkys physcial activity.
The type of filsm that Tom likes shooter, the dark knight, tghe Bourne trilogy he is interested in action thriller films becuase most of his favourite films fall into not that genre.Tom is laos intresrted in going to the cinema and is abig movie fan.
I htinks that Tom would like our film becuase it is sismalir to a lot of his favourte action thriller filmns such as the Bourne Triology which is his favourite triolgy films, it would also appeal to Tom becuase it ocntians high paced action simialr to the bouren films
We have decided to give our film opening a 15 rating becuase we feel that the genre of film will contian alot of violence, and from the oepning you can already see that it will cotiain violence the way that the assasisng is trying to blow up the other character.Alothe fact that we see him prepare his gun in the opening which indicates he is into violence.
This our film with a directors commentary style voice over, I talk about What kind of Media Institution might distribute our media product and why, also I talk about the titles and the logo.
The commentary on the YouTube video is a lot better as I have edited most of the clips so they don't sound as bad, although they aren't great quality which I'm apologetic for, the reason why it's so bad is because I ended up using the microphone on my headphones to record, other wise the sound files wasn't audible as I tested.
I have ended up shortening my speech on the video as when I read all of the text I couldn't fit it all into the length of the short 2 mins 35, so as a result I have ended up shorten what I say.l
Sorry I'm having problems converting .m4a format (from my iPhone recorded the sound clips to) to .mp3 I need to add to the film. the youtube video will be uploaded shortly
I have added two video's because sometimes the YouTube video doesn't work, and sometimes the blogger video doesn't seem to work, so it was basically a back up feature, to make sure that the video was on my blog, sorry for any inconvenience.
