evaluation (short film)

Short-films

What was project about ?

We have been creating short-films about secrets. I did some planning towards the film, but I started with making my own proposal ideas and then when we were put into  groups, we created another proposal,  we changed our ideas around, because our own ideas had nothing to do with secrets  then we  brainstormed ideas. Then we thought we would do a Scooby kind of thing, like an uncover villain and who might be under the mask.

What kind of research you did ?(e.g primary,market and secondary  )

We have been researching about secrets on google images (secondary research) and it was helpful for me, because I can think up my own ideas and also inspired me to create a secret film.

We did some primary and secondary research and I have learned about  it more, I did some last year (AMF) .Secondary is when I research  other peoples work  and I did some research on other people work that inspired me and this was a Werewolf Man because he is monster  and that was the type that I wanted my short flim to  be about .

The primary work is when you do your own research and after that I used Survey Monkey- It is survey website where you can create a survey and people vote on your survey, so it can help with my idea  and shared the results  on the Facebook group, as my classmate helped me with their answers to my questions and gave me ideas of what I can do to continue my research .

We created the short film ,but we  recorded  twice ,because in  first video we had dialoge and we wern’t allowed to do dialog so we had to redo it the week after the  last video.d we  added close-cut into our short flim.We did some panning shost with some shoulder-shots, wide shost and mid-range shots.

What were  your ideas in  your group ?

The idea was about Scooby doo  , but the people who were watching the film found it creepy. I liked the idea myself, but I think it be  better if it was explained more, so it would give  more details about our ideas as I didn’t have clue as to what we were doing.

 We  filled some forms in like a story board, what was okay ,but we had to redo it again, as it was too short.We  redid it and make it  bigger and gave  more explanation.

We did a health and safety sheet, so the equipment and ourselves  could be safe.  One of my team-mates might got run over by lorry and die ,as well as the  camera being damaged.

 We did a budget sheet, to see what objects we bring in.We made  a call sheet to  know what role we would take, because we can’t let one person do all the work,because it won’t be right and we wouldn’t be marked and we did more work sheets.

what  production did you do?

We did some recodering  in collage builiding , we did 2 loctions in a video-production work.we the spilted into 2 groups to do how editing, as we did the voice reordering we did and added onto how  video ,as voice over what was funny ,as i sounded like a zombie on the video,we then did some editing onto the  how video ,like sketlion the video and then added some effect to make it kind of spooky ,but misery in how video.We will be posting the video onto youtube so other people can see.

what equipment did you use  and what kind of shots you took? 

We use camera (Panasonic HC-W570K) to recorder how film with. We had tripod with us to recorder how video (w/pan tilt handle) I used photoshop to created a error banner for to go with how short-flim.We did some panning shot ,mid-range shot and over shoulder shot one how final shot.

what did you do for your final project ? 

We did a mestry kind of video , too found out who under the mask ,with people watching the video .I'm kind of confused about it ,so it was hard to descibe about the final project,but The editing made more sense toward editing .

what do you need to improvement and what would you do differently?

I don’t think I needed any improvement, just to that the team needs working as a team. People kept leaving while we were filming. We need to discuss in more detail, so other people don’t get confused with how we will be filming. I would change the mask and other people should bring objects in beside me as it wasn’t planned out well and I had to bring everything in.I would change the way we made the plan and not keep changing ideas around about ,so we woundn’t get confused with the main idea .

what was the age range ? (BBFC ,monkey survey )

The age range we picked was PG ,because it was aimed at “U”,because it was   confusing for kids and they wouldn’t understand that much.The gender is mixed with both gender I think .

Student comment below : 

filming

we done part of how recodering and we are go do scound part soon hopefully.
I have learn new location in the area and learn that  i have  maded  cracked in the mask. Not to get stuck into one group,as we need to recorder how own videos and  we didn't need a teacher assistant with us,as he kept  rushing us during how filmin,as I ratehr took how time then, rushing  the filming  as we could of  messed up  the video. we have didn't got time to mess rounded with other groups .
Kazer was too bossy ,as we after keep doing cha cha slide
, before we film the  video for how short film.

we have  watch video about poliet, what as nothing to do with how theme and their wasn't any secert in the video.I don't if it as anything to do with how work.

I did not enjoy it today,as it was boring and really immature, we could done how video by now and not wasting how time following  other people and stay in pears .

we doing primary research today

Summarise the process and evaluate what impact it will have upon your short film:

Key Research Terminology

After taking notes on your tutors explanation of key terminologies Bethany Ruth Byron , complete the following handout:

What is a Primary source?

Primary is Original research. (First)

Example

Your own research, you have gone out and ask people. Like asking my team mates about my idea.

What is a Secondary source?

Research other people have done.

CBeebies & grand design

cbeebies :

It is aimed at younger viewers around about 0-7 years olds.They have some religon in some shows ,but not all shows.It is for both genders (female & male) ,I don't think sexuality will be in it,as it is aimed at young viewers.Mostly it is reading , education ,and life lessons .The money probley be made by viewers rating.

I used to watch cbeebies when I was a kid, I enjoyed watching them ,but I don't think I would watch it now ,because I'm into  horror stuff and more mature stuff now.


link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaURWflzS-c


Grand design:

It is aimed at more adult viewers  and can be for  teenagers as well,because it  educates teenagers and some adults  in the program  . I think the age range is aimed at  50 + or retired people who stay at home and watch tv .I would say it was more aimed at males , but it could be for female as well .it was about a novel ,so it was aimed at people who had read Lord of the Rings or had watched the films of Lord of the Rings.I think it is for  upper class viewers.

streotyping & genre

proposal idea

Proposal

Name: The Horror Tutor.

·         Story

There is a cannibal who lives a normal life in the day, but in the night he goes around killing people and eating them. He keeps them in his basement then he can eat them for breakfast. In the end of the film it shows you the cannibal eating his breakfast, but it looks like a normal cereal. The cannibal is a college tutor, but at the end of the day he follows one of his students and then murders the student and then eats them and leaves some parts in his basement. Then you see a  flash back of what he has eaten in the day after you've been tricked by just looking and not  realising  that he was eating human flesh  .The cannibal has a power that makes him  kill his prey. .

What kind of power does he have?

The cannibal has a power called dark flames, it doesn’t burn you from the outside, but burns you from the inside and kills you in 3 sec.

 I would need 2 actors: 1 cannibal, 1 students, I say we should swap the camera around so we get a chance to use the camera. I would use a closed & opening because the first part is open because you will be asking questions. In the second part there will be no questions as you found who he/she his.

I say it would be up to the audiences if it is anti-realist or realist, because it also about belief in cannibals and magic powers.

·         Content

In the night I would use more than one effect. I would be using the black and white effect to make it creepier and to make more evil like. The daytime will be normal light... I will do split scene at the end to show what he was eating for breakfast at the beginning to show what happen. I would use cross cutting technique where the teacher is walking up to college behind the student (far distances) and then when they reach college the teacher makes the student jump. I would use it when the teacher kills the student as well, because make it more outstanding for my short film. Multi –strand

·         Soundtrack

I would use song called monster by Eminem ft. Rihanna, because it suits  my idea because ,he/she  is monster by night and day night normal civilian , so I am planning to put  normal noises into it .

Link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssgTBBWa4Qo)

·         Who is your audience?

My audience is aimed at teenagers to young adulst, because I want it to aim for my age more, because I can relate it around that age and not to make for younger viewers, as it won’t fit my ideas.

The genre is horror, comedy, action, fantasy & supernatural .

This inspired me by a YouTube I have watched a couple years ago and it  made me cringe ,but it was true story .

Short flims

• What I have learnt today:-

I have learnt about multi:strand & single strand  , with  Linear,closed &opening .I have also learned about hype Genres ,what  is  two genres combine together .

• Linear:  Beginng ,mid , & end 
• Non linear : is when they have flash back in the movie .
• realist : is when the film is based round realist stuff .
• Non Realist : Is where it is not real .
• Muilt:strand -different preoperative

on my spidergram :

• More than 3 actors .What is going on the short flim we are making .
• The theme  is about secrets for this unit.
• The flim is go to make  1-2 mins max.
• we will be in a group of 3 
• No guns ,no knife ,no drugs ,no swearing
• dialouge ( show don't tell) 
• voice over 

My film Idea

My ideas :

• Secret cannibal
• Normal at day,change at night 
• Birthday party , gone wrong 
• hide yourself in game world , but different person in real life 
• secret power 
•  scientist  who creates monster  in his basement 
• Secret box 
• secret insane 
• secret relationship 
• secret moustache 
• secret trangender 
• secret cyborg 
• secret onesie 
• secret teddy bear 
• Secret apple
• Secret santa 

My 3 Ideas I could go on further .

• Secret cannibal :
   they could have dead body parts in their basement and they  eat people alive .
• Secret Santa :
  Well Santa is always getting high and his really a bad Santa not a good Santa
• Secret birthday party
  They have secret birthday party  ,but it become gone wrong .like they get killed or everything went badly wrong 

short films Annotation

;

shot :

• Close  up

• There was narator in the video 

Emotion

Story :
The story was about abuse from the partner. 

My notice


I through it was sick to watch,but it did inspire me about who I can trust & and not to trust in a relationship.It  moved on to quick with every shot,like when we did the advert.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Truth about meeting woman by TJ MISNEY


genre

shots :-

• close ups 
• mid-shot range

sound : 

•  there were lots of narrators in the video 
• there were a lot of conversion in the  film 

emotions:

I think it was funny ,as it made me laugh how he  stereotypes woman by looking at them.

story:
The story is about the last guy on earth,and he is surrounded by females .

I think this is good ,because the dude gets dumped by nearly every girl he daydreams about .That is why  I love comedy films. I think  he should have done more about it ,as it could been more funnier.

Research about secrets (going to proof)

Dragon ball z

www.buzzfeed.com/norbertobriceno/its-over-9000

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR-RqtN_bA0

I have learnt more about dragon ball, then I did before, Akira favourite character is piccolo. I didn’t know dragon ball was inspired by superman, as well being inspired by Wolf man the flim. I knew some secrets like the English voice actor Sean Schemmel passed out while   Goku was transforming into a super saiyin.

 2

Attack on titan.

Link : http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-09-23/attack-on-titan-creator-reveals-secrets-on-japanese-tv-show

 Isayama gets reference from humans, to create them into titans. I found this creepy because, you might see a random person on the street and you  think they are a titan, but they aren’t.Eren is similar to Isayama childhood, because he wanted to go beyond the wall.

Mysteries of the world:

Link: http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/photos/10-of-the-worlds-biggest-unsolved-mysteries/voynich-manuscript#top-desktop

Wilfrid M. Voynich, who acquired a detailed 240-page book written in a language that is completely unknown. It is filled with a colourful drawings of a strange diagrams .It is odd event and plants, which do not seem to match any known species, and are added to the intrigue of the document The original author of the manuscript remains unknown, but due to the carbon dating has revealed that the pages were made sometime between the 1404 or 1438. It has been called "the world's most mysterious manuscript."

Aliens:

Physicist Bob Lazar tells of his hands on the extra-terrestrial on the flying saucer from the 1988 to the 1989 .Above of the top secret alien technology testing facility located near Area 51 at Groom Lake, Nevada. In area 51 Humans are working with the aliens.

Artwork :-

Link- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-features/11449077/10-paintings-with-hidden-meanings.html

Poussin’s enigmatic image of ancient Greek shepherds gathered around a tomb inscribed with the words Et In Arcadia Ego – “Even in Arcadia I exist” – has given rise to more preposterous hypotheses than any other work of art. Crowning them all are the efforts British researchers Henry Lincoln, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, who claimed the painting held the secret to hidden treasure in the south of France, where Jesus lived in wedded bliss with Mary Magdalene, siring the Merovingian kings of France. Rather than treasure, this magnificent nonsense led to an unsuccessful plagiarism suit against the grand master of art hokum, Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown.

 6

Crimes :-

Link :- http://www.amazon.com/TIME-LIFE-Mysteries-Criminal-Mind-Notorious/dp/1618933531

I think it will be a good idea  because you can do someone who is good like and in secret they are a serial killer .I could do it about someone who keep dead bodies in their basement, or something similar to it.

 

7

Romance:-

Link:- http://www.viceinvestigations.com.au/blog-post/general/is-your-partner-cheating

I think there should be an affair, because they can end up killing each other after one them found out the other cheated on them. I could make it twisted and the one who cheated could kill one of his lover, or the one them could go out for revenge.

             8

Werewolves

This is Inspired me because, I can do a werewolf fantasy thing for the short film we are
               Making .The guy/girl could be part time werewolf and like to go clubbing.

9

Secret Abuse

              Link- http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2014/01/11/1226782/064027-domestic-violence-abuse.jpg

 This could be a good idea, because it could be about a dad ,mum ,husband or wife abusing  daughter,son,wife & husband until a friend or relative find out about it and deal with it  like a mafia kills the person, or call the cops.

10

A gamer.

Link:- http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/swordartonline/images/9/98/NerveGear_2.png/revision/latest?cb=20121028214023

This give me a good idea because, the person could be hiding their real self from reality. Like they are one best gamer in the gaming world, but in reality he is low-life person .I know it from anime ,but it give me a good idea of  short film.

Secret chocolate eater.
Link:- http://www.candywarehouse.com/assets/item/large/nestle-aero-milk-chocolate-bars-131850-im.jpg

The chocolate could be new kind of drug and people get sugar rush from it and you see opposite what you see.
