Evaluation Question 5- how did you attract/address your audience

“How did you attract/address your audience?”

Oli: To attract our audience we used different techniques and styles to keep our viewers entertained. Certain soundtracks were used to imply the mood of the scene, which meant creating an atmosphere that makes the viewer’s feel a part of the film themselves.

Marta: By making sure that our audience’s needs were met, we asked them to complete a survey to give us a brief idea of what they were expecting to see. We asked simple questions regarding what storylines they would like, the types of characters that they would want us to show and their opinion on props and the way the characters look.

Ben: By doing this, it gave us a better understanding and helped us to create the film that they want to see. By knowing key information that they would like us to show gave us initial ideas for our opening sequence and the plot of the film.

Elle: We found in our research that majority of our age group liked the idea of having a typical teenage boy as our main character, because that way it was easy for people to relate to the character well.

Evaluation question 7- looking back at your preliminariy task, what do you feel we have learnt in the progression from it to the full product

Looking back at your preliminarily task, what do you feel we have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? 

script:

Oli: A major thing that we have definitely learnt throughout this whole process is the concept of directing. Starting this subject, we had a general idea of what it took to direct and the basics idea that the majority of the film came down to the director. It wasn't until filming of our thriller opening started that I saw how important and technical directing was. It isn't just shot types and angles the director must worry about, it's also cast position and posture; are the actors in the right place, are they standing in frame, the lighting; how bright it needs to be and where it needs to come from and  sound; how loud or quite each film aspect needs to be. The director must know everything going on around him, not only what he needs to do but also what the rest of the group is in charge off. The director's job of to be in charge of all the film work



Marta: I personally feel that we have definitely learnt about organisation and planning- basically everything that comes down to production. I think that the preliminary task gave us a taste of what this was all about and gave us a clear picture of what we need to do for our actual thriller piece. For the preliminary task, we only had a brief amount of time to figure everything out and even after we had, we had to scrap our whole idea and come up with something different in a matter of minutes due to one of the members of our group, who was to play a key part, not being able to attend. This time we had much more time and tried to all take parts in production, taking roles to figure out exactly what locations we wanted to shoot at, who was to edit, what we would include in the film and what even where to get our actors. We were constantly learning how to make this and that better, faster, more efficient.



Ben: We definitely learnt a lot about editing and the different processes needed to make a good film. Timing and pacing is extremely important in making a certain feel and mood. The pace of a scene/shot can make a film seem like an action packed adventure film, with short, fast shots merged in together, or a romantic comedy film, with long shots of slow action.
Editing a film can create different emotions and atmospheres, sometimes comes across as simple whereas other times psychologically twisting. We've learnt that by synchronizing the visual and audio cues in certain ways, viewer's perception can be warped. Filmmakers can adopt psychology and misdirection while editing films to make the viewer assume something is happening when it isn't. The use of psychology tricks audiences into believing the film being portrayed is real and into feeling emotions about the story. This concept is something we have learnt and tried to employ in our own film.

Prezi- what is it

PREZI presentation

"Prezi is a cloud-based (SaaS) presentation software and storytelling tool for presenting ideas on a virtual canvas.The product employs a Zooming User Interface (ZUI), which allows users to zoom in and out of their presentation media, and allows users to display and navigate through information within a 2.5D or parallax 3D space on the Z-axis. Prezi was officially established in 2009 by co-founders Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy and Peter Arvai." - wikipedia

Prezi is an online powerpoint that allows users to make interactive presentation, available to the public, or to be stored privately. It allows users to add information of their choice as well as animations and effects to an already prepared template presentation. Users can pan, zoom, rotate and resize objects as well as text.
It offers a wide range of template designs with already made transition paths, but gives users the option to create from scratch.

prezi.com (the Hungarian short form of presentation) was created by Kitchen Budapest and Magyar Telekom in 2008 in order to replace the ordinary style slide based presentations.
