Evaluation Question 3

What have you learnt from audience feedback?

The audience feedback has have our group many idea's to help us improve the idea of our film. The feedback has allowed us to see what problems we have in our film and also gives us an opinion from a different audience other than ourselves. The feedback has allowed us to recognise that our film needs an improved and adapted ending in order for us to succeed higher. The feedback has also allowed us to recognise that we need a beginning on the film to help give a better understanding of the plot of the film and it will give the audience a better acknowledgement of the setting.

Ancillary Task 2- Double Page Spread

2013-03-25T02:26:00.000-07:00

Double Page Spread

This is my double page spread in which i have created for my second ancillary task. I have used 2 images for my task which i feel are appropriate to use. My main image in which i have used is not an actual still from the film but is a image which has been taken of the setting of our film.

My double page spread follows the conventions of the horror film genre. I have used dark colours throughout task and used a bright red colour to highlight some main points in the text.

From my research i have tried to follow the conventional layout from the film double page spreads which i liked and thought were effective.

My film is an independent film and the genre is a mainstream genre. I have tried to attract both audiences through my double page spread.

I have included an image of the film poster on my double page spread. This should hopefully attract my specific audience into reading my double page spread as the poster itself has may endorsements included such as a film festival logo and quotes from another magazine called 'Empire Magazine'.

Ancillary Task 1- Iron Stone Poster

2013-03-24T03:15:00.000-07:00

Ancillary Task 1

This is my poster in which i have created for my ancillary task. I have used an image which is not an actual still from the film, but it is common practice to stage a photograph for a poster. The film follows conventions of a horror film with a zombie in a graveyard which sets an atmosphere. From my research i have tried to follow a conventional layout from film posters and from the horror genre.

My film is an independent film and the genre is a mainstream genre. I have tried to attract both audiences through my poster. For example independent films need film festival endorsement in order to become known to avid film audiences. Also stating directors previous successes may help sell the film to fans of the director. Another endorsement i included was to add a quote from Empire magazine. The rating of the film at 18 may also attract audiences. Audiences of independent films tend to be older. I chose my poster to be in black and white but it may appeal more to independent film fans but the film mainly will rely on cult appeal which is another reason why i emphasised the director of haunted house.

Iron Stone Planning Sheet

Due to there being complications within our media studies short film group, we decided to combine our old idea of a zombie into a new and improved idea. We believe that the new idea of 'Ironstone' will allow us to achieve higher in our A level without having to start a new idea from scratch.
This planning sheet shows diagrams of some of the scenes within the new film. It also includes ideas on the setting, the story and the music and editing of the new film.

How They Get There Analysis

2012-10-24T04:31:00.000-07:00

How They Get There

How they get there is a short film of hybrid genres.The genres include, romance, comedy and tragedy.
The short film could be considered to be romantic in genre due to their being a male and female character. The male character obviously admires the female character and he follows her down the road continuing to flirt with her. This sets the beginning genre of the short film.
The film then turns around into a comedy genre as the characters copy each other’s gestures and movements. It begins with the female character copying what the male character is doing. The female character disappears behind the bin for a few seconds when walking down the road, and then appears again with a different movement. This time the male character then begins to copy the female character.
This is when the tragedy genre begins. The male character misinterprets what the female character is gesturing. The female character is gesturing the male character to stop as he is too close to the curb and a car is fast approaching. This turns into a tragedy when he copies the woman and it results in him being hit by a car. The tragic elements of this short film show how bad impact was on the male character. The car window screen is smashed and they impact result in the car flipping in the air. The woman’s emotions show how she feels. She is horrified and may feel guilty for the male character as she was the one who began to copy in the first place.

Vladimir Propp’s Theory

Vladimir Propp developed a character theory for studying media texts, which indicates that there are 7 broad character types

Hero- Leads the narrative, is usually looking for something or trying to solve something.

Villain- Conflicts with the hero.

Heroine- is usually some sort of prize or reward for the hero.

Father-An authoritative figure that offers a reward to the hero for completing their quest.

Helper- Helps the hero (often as a sidekick)

Donor- Gives the hero something- a clue or a special power (helps them to complete their quest)

Mentor- Teaches and guides the hero.

Todorov’s Theory

Todorov suggests that all narratives follow a five-part structure. This is:

A state of equilibrium, where everything is balanced.

A disruption of that order by an event

A recognition that the disorder has occurred

An attempt to repair damage of disruption and to restore order.

A return or restoration of a new equilibrium.
