Mood Boards

My Mood Board

The mood board that I have created reflects the music video i would like to make in the following ways.
I wanted a relaxed kind of party feel. This is why I have the images of the shoes and the spilt wine glass whist the girl flicking her hair brings a care feel to it. The image of the main relates to the part of the lyrics of the song a may use as a bright light in shining in his face. The fact that everything hasn't been put on the page precisely shows the lack of structure which is might be the reoccurring theme in this music video.

Evaluation Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Looking back on the preliminary I believe that we have made a big improved with our camera angles and other editing techniques. Seen as the prelim task was my second attempt of filming and editing properly I think I did quite well with most.

I did mention that these were techniques that I would be able to use in my final piece and I believe that this was true as I was able to improve on those techniques making most foley sounds in sync. The prelim task was also the first time we ever used titles (text). At first I found the whole concept of premier pro quite difficult to understand and it didn't really feel used friendly at all but once we kept using it there came a point where you know exactly what to do which made it a lot quicker and easier to use whilst editing our film opening. There were some techniques we didn't use like for example split screen etc. We used a lot of different camera angles in our prelim task but I believe that we wasn't able to used shots such as shot reverse shot but we did try and fit as many as we could on our actual film opening. We didn't use any establishing shots in the preliminary but we did attempt to do so in our opening sequence, but we did use match on action once and we did try and make it as seamless as possible but only practice can make you perfect.


In conclusion it did feel  a lot quicker and easier to complete all our editing. I've learnt a lot about transitions, audio as well as the actual video itself. We were able to identify what worked and what didn't and what we needed to work on. I believe I've learnt a lot from then but I think I can only improve.

Evaluation question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?



I have obviously been using all types of technology throughout this course in many different ways. Like for example I used websites such as Youtube (www.youtube.com/) and IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/) to do most of my research on most film opening such as The Ring, Insidious, Paranormal Activity etc.

I used blogger (www.blogger.com/) to publish all my research and anyother information that was needed.

I used a sony handheld video camera to get all the footage we needed for the film opening as it was quite a simple devise and we were able to use it without any complications. Not only was it quite easy to use, the quality was quite good and made the process a whole lot quicker to produce.

We were able to upload all our footage straight onto the Premier Pro. My partner and I did have a couple problems with this software.

Evaluation question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

I believe that we have obviously made this film with the audience in mind as our target audience are teenagers and there are different aspects of this opening sequence to prove that. The fact that we have used teenagers in our film opening, it should make it a lot easier to relate to and it should be more appealing for our audience. Our main goal was to relate to audience as much as we could so we did our best. This is the main reason why we have the main character at the bus stop alone waiting as this is a common thing that most teenagers would do on a daily basis. The location that we chosen used was a local area in London so we think this would create a 'close to home' feel making the audience feel like it could happen to anyone of them, as everyone of any age would know that this is a familiar sight to see on the street in that area. The fact that we set our film during the day it goes against what most horror films do as the majority of them have a dark grim look to their films so we wanted to make a differences as this is not what you would usually expect from a horror and our target audience is the type of audience that like to experience something new quite often especially when it comes to films.

I think that our film addresses our audience as it always makes them feel like there is a possibility that these events could happen to them at any point especially with the fact that these bad things are happening during the day time. There is also a couple elements in our film that could make them actually think about the consequences of there actions they make, as this is part of our storyline.
