Perception-Final Task Thriller

Preliminary Task- An Irregular Case

Section 12 Evaluation 7-How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our Thriller opening has a young child as a threatened victim, this happens in many films to cast a young child along with a women as well so it comes across to the audience to appear as an innocent victim, as they look fragile, weak, vulnerable and scared this gives the impression to the audience that only the suspect is strong but we were using a red herring to twist this in our film and make the actual child seem scared as a young child but towards the end of the actual film the young child is viewed at an older age tracking the suspect and becoming a physcotic man, within his revenge to the suspect.

 Here is a picture of the vulnerable child that we incorporated into

our opening sequence

vulnerable characters that were targeted in our film was also found within other full productions like 'the silence of the lambs' and 'se7en'. The characters found within both these films were women and perceived as vulnerable because they were always isolated around bigger and stronger men. This gave off the feeling that the character was vulnerable and intimidated because the men dominated over the other smaller and less powerful women, which made them easy targets.

                    

here are 2 examples of women characters that are perc eived as vulnerable and easy targets from out of the two films 'silence of the lambs' and 'se7en'.

section 12-evaluation 4 and 5-target audience and why we thought it was suitable

when we were half way thrrough producing our film we had a brief idea that a suitable age bracket would be varying from the ages of 15 right the way up to 40.
we felt that including both a young and older generation would increase popularity and if  it was been broadcasted through mainstream cinema then it would obviously increase profit. but the main reason for quite a broad age bracket was down to the fact that the film would further include scenes that would either stress or unease the audinece and as a result we felt that people under the age of 15 wouldnt be suitbale to watch a film with that sort of nature.
another outstanding factor was down to the fact that the films plot and storyline would include some form of intelluctual understanding, and if we were ton aim a film at an audience that was under the age of 15 it would have been a lot simpler than the one that have incorporated into our film, as a result we opened the age bracket to ages 15 and above. the reason that we decided the age of 40 would be suitable is down to the fact that this age bracket and particular audience would obviously have the mental capacity to understand the plot changes and differnt characters introduced leading to different stories and understanding.

section 10-film/tape logging sheet

section 10-filiming/editing decision list/diary

Saturday 11th December 2010 - Filming commences on location at The Dingle, Appleton, Warrington. Approximately 3 hours filming in fine weather with no major problems.

Thursday 19th December 2010 - Capturing begins in edit suite. However all is not captured and is put forward to the new year.

Tuesday 4th January 2011 - Capturing re-starts and all footage is captured onto the computer and imported into edit suite. Also the editing and putting together of the footage begins. Here is the full of our induvidual clips.

Wednesday 5th January 2011 - Before editing takes hold, we made and produced some logos and titles for our film. Such as browsing fonts for E Block Productions, and a suitable font for the title of our production, Perception. The font we chose looked quite sinister and slashed, foreshadowing the events to come later in the production.

 Friday 7th January - Wednesday 12th January 2011 - Editing process, and the production is put together. Transitions are used, such as a white flash, symbolising a flashback of sort, possibly foreshadowing something to come.

Monday 10th January - Wednesday 12th January 2011 - Also the typography choices for general type, such as the credits, we used a simple, professional sans serif typeface, with a slight mysterious/western looking feel to it. This added to the feel of the production. Here is us searching for the right one:

Wednesday 12th January 2011 - Editing process is finish and production is ready to be rendered out as a different file format. Here is it playing.

section 10-edit decision list

We first captured all the recorded clips we wanted in our film from the tape to the PC, then using the recorded clips we put them into chronological order and played it through to see how it went, once we decided the order in was in was ok, we started editng in the order start to end, we added just a few transistions but our main editing purposes were to change and tweek the audio but also add our own music as well as keeping the natural sounds, we also had to crop a few shots and shorten them also.

Our main concern was in our original first finsihed film the actual body bag being dropped over the bridge didnt look like it was human size, so we cut the whole dropping section, then instead have a close up reaction shot of the boy on the embankment then quickly changed shot to just see the bag creating the splash into the stream, the outcome was much better.
