Location Scouting






This is the area that we filmed on, we scouted the area first to see where we were going to film. This  is because it would move along the process of the filming alot quicker and it helps us plan the shots to more detail to make sure the shots all make sense.

Media Evaluation

Media Evaluation

Ths is the written evaluation that we completed from the question given in the video, everybody in the group did their own individual written evaluation to show that everyone knew what to do, the written evaluation is used because it shows more detail than the video and gives a better understanding of what we were trying to achieve in the film opening, also there is no time limit to how long the answer was like the video so there is much more detail.

Media Product Video Evaluation



This is the video evaluation that we used to explain what our film opening was about, we did this by filming ourselves answering the questions given to show that we know what we were filming through out the whole time. This tells that we had planned everything out and that we knew how to use the equipment and we know what the audience is for our product.

Media Product Audience Review



This is the audience review of our film opening, this is what a person who watched our film thought when we asked questions about it, the person is withion the age group that we have made the film for so we can see if we have achieved that goal and the person is answering our questions to see if the film opening was made to a good standard or not.

Media Product, Media Film Opening Wrong Direction



Now the final product of our film opening is finished we have improved the sound quality and changed some of the shots around to make the storyline better and more clear to the viewers. In the draft the scene of Dean being lost was too quick and couldn't be recognised properly so we fixed this with the matter of placing a phone on the floor to be found and then saying it was Deans.

Media film opening production draft

Wrong Direction: Media film Opening Draft



This is the film opening draft, this is the first thing that we came up with and have posted it so that we can compare it with the final product to show how we have improved the shots and even the storyline.
Showing the comparison between the two videos shows the improvements we have made.

Animatic video

Animatic for our movie opening



This is an animatic that our group has created from scanning images from our drawn up story boards onto a computer then improving on them making them move by using 'paint', when we were creating the animatic we pieced all of the images together using 'windows movie maker', using this we were able to edit the amount of time that each image spent on the screen and then add effects to each one to make the animatic.

Questionnaire results

Using this question we have found out that there are three main types of settings that people like to see in a horror film we know it is this three because no one answered with the 'other' option, so if we were to make a horror film perhaps one of these settings will be good to ensure that it will be a success.

From this question we can determine what kind of horror film people like or whether or not they actually like them, 1 person answered with 'none' but it would not stop us from creating a horror film because the rest of them gave an answer to the question and then we would base our horror film around this idea.

Using this question we find out what genre is favoured, from this you can see that horror is tied with comedy with the most amount of people liking it, so from this it is easy to see that if we were to make a film using one of these genres then there is a chance of the film being a success.

This tells us what to focus on when presenting a film to an audience.

This question shows that the majority of people dislike the 'lack of story', with this information we know to prioritise a story is shown to make our film more popular with the horror audience.

Using this question we can tell that in a horror peopoe tend to focus more on the evil/villain character, now we know to focus on how he looks and acts.

This is a good question because using this we have found out what every one looks for in a horror film and using it would improve our production significantly.

Now that we know what the favorite type of killer is in a movie we use that to make our killer characters actions, basically creating our evil/villain character for us.

Now we can go all out in a horror film knowing that it will not affect the majority of people 9/10.

The ending in a film is important and must be good as it tells you whether people want the film to end or whether they want there to be more like it after, this was almost an equal vote but in the end most people prefer for the villain to be killed or taken away.
