FINAL POST

This is my final post for this blog, I have enjoyed working on this blog and working on my AS media course throughout the year.
This blog is now closed.

FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS

After the completion of our final film we showed it to some of the students in the sixth form, seeing as they fitted into our target audience category, 15-19 year old girls. Some of the feedback was really interesting, a lot of people enjoyed our voice over which I think the group found quite surprising, there was a lot of praise for our overhead shot of the candles and our establishing shot, which are two of my favourite shots as well. Over all I think the feedback was really helpful and enabled us to look at our final product in a different light.

MONTAGE PRODUCTIONS

We made up an institution for our film to make it look more professional we call it 'Montage Productions'

MONTAGE PRODUCTIONS

We decided to call it this as our original film was essentially just a montage of clips, this aspect of filming seemed to feature in a number of our drafts and so we decided it would be suitable name for our institution.

TITLE: CAITLYN

As a group we had a lot of discussion about the title of our film, some of the ideas included 'The Point of Infliction' , 'Theta Squared' but these were just some rough ideas. Thankfully we agreed that our film should be named after one of the characters although we did not yet have a name for either girl. After further discussion we settled fro 'Caitlyn' as we agreed the name itself fitted the character well, the girl played by Georgia Koureas, our secondary character as the film is based upon an incident cause by her. We also decided that the name was unusual, especially our chosen spelling, as we wanted to steer away from the conventional spelling as she is not a conventional teenage girl. After adding it to our film we decided it looked right and fitted in well with our film.

PICTURES FROM GARAGE BAND

Here is a picture of our soundtrack from garage band on our mac, the quality is not great as it was taken on a mobile phone, sorry.

PICTURES FROM EDITING

Here are a couple of pictures of our editing on imovie. This is a picture of our mac taken on an iphone, here we were editing the close up shot of Elizabeth and working on our soundtrack. If you look closely at the bottom left (purple screen) the purple background indicates that we added our soundtrack from garage band onto our film from the menu on the bottom right corner (with the blue bar).

EVALUATION

Here is the evaluation of my film, a short 9 slide power point presentation answering the main 7 questions.

CHANGES WITH THE VOICE OVER

After listening to the voice over for one of our final drafts we discovered that after the final sentence "a part of me will always want to be her" we discovered that somebody had said "good" following it. So we had to edit the voice over so we could shorten it to finish on the word "her" with a couple of seconds of an instrumental before the end of our opening.

FOOTAGE FOR OUR SECOND IDEA

Here is some of the footage we used for the second film idea which involved the planning of the murder.

FILMING THE OPENING SHOT

Here is some of the original footage before any editing that we took to get our establishing shot. Including some of the original editing for our first moors murders idea.
