Evaluation Activity 5 - How did you attract/address your audience?

• Above is the feedback that we received from people after they had watched our opening sequence.
• Overall the feedback was very positive.
• They liked the range of camera angles and shots - they liked the extreme close up in particular.
• One negative they commented was that the titles during the sequence for slightly weak and could have been a lot more precise.

Evaluation Activity 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Unfortunately, Jordan and Juanita were not able to join us in the recording due to them both filming participants for the questionnaire which will be used for another evaluation question.

Final edits to the film

We have come quickly to our deadline and we have decided our finishing touches for our film. These include, filming an extra part of reds eyes and then a point of view shot from Red watching a jogger running into the distance. We will then finish our film there but we will decide as a group whether we like it and either keep it in or cut it out. We decided to film an extra part so our film is exactly on the time frame of 2 minutes and that we see the beginning of a story, we all like the idea of having an option so we can play around with the final sequence and decide whether we like it

Victim photos

We have taken the three photos of Red's victims. These are shown below:

We decided to change the images to black and white but leave the red lipstick mark on the victims. We decided to do this as it will be easier for the audience to make a link between the kiss on the photograph and the kiss on each of the victims.  

Title sequence

We have just completed the title sequence for out films opening sequence using Live Time.

We chose to use the Red calligraphy font as is emphasises the persona of the protagonist in the film. The simplistic titling also enables the plot of the film to not be given away.

Production company logo

We have chosen to use a selection of images and put them together using iMovie to create our production company logo. We came across this idea as our first idea to film a books pages turning using a fan/hairdryer didn't work as we had planned. Below is one of the images that we used during the logo sequence.

The use of the flower and the lipstick mark emphasise the genre of our film.

Credits

We liked the effectiveness of this films credits. The simplicity of it made us think about being simple yet creative with our own credits instead of overcomplicating the process by using too many different effects at the same time.
