PRELIM vs. Final Film

PRELIM:

Final Film:

Conclusion:

In order to conclude this evaluation, I believe that during the time from my PRELIM to my Final Film, I have learned how to work both independently and in a team - as well as under pressure. I have learned new techniques in relation to tackling time management and working under pressure and have made my creativity come out much more.

I have learned how to work with Motion, Garageband, Final Cut Pro, Camtasia and other programmes on the Mac's and learned how to use them in order to expand on my creativity and use them for my Final Cut.

I've definitely come a long way from the PRELIM and believe that the things I have learned and the work I have done have paid off in our Final Film.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Here is a short 50 second movie I created on PowToon to answer my question:

Evaluation Question 3

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Examples of influences:

Clueless is a production from Paramount Pictures. Although it's title sequence does not have any title credits, 'Clueless' is a very popular and high grossing teen movie, which we got a lot of our influences from.

Mean Girls is also another one of our very big influences, also a production from Paramount Pictures. It totals in about 26 credits, which makes it very similar to our sequence. The main actress' name is also before the name of the movie, which is where we took our influence for our money from.

Another very big influence is The Breakfast Club, which is a classic movie that we took the idea of the lockers scene from and the transformation of characters from.

Interview with Sound Designer

Interview: Written Form

Sound Designer

Me: When creating music for the first few minutes of a film what would you say is important? 

Sound Designer: Music is great at manipulating emotion, so is essential when trying  to connect with an audience. At the beginning it is very important to set the tone of the film, whether it is sad or happy. For our film "2-Faced", we incorporated both a sad and happy mood as we were showing a clear transformation of a character.

Me: When creating two different tones and attitudes through sound what would you say is most important to include?

Sound Designer: Well for our film we decided to incorporate just a piano to create a sad/mysterious atmosphere, this was very simple yet still heightened the mood a lot. However when changing the mood to a more happier lighthearted mood, we used a mixture of instrument i.e guitars, drums etc.

Me: Would you say foley sounds enhance the feel of a film?

Sound Director: Yes most defiantly! Foley sounds both create real life feel but when use dramatically it also can create a more comedic/animated film.

Interview with Actor

Interview with Actor: (in written form)

Me: Hello Kelsen. As I believe you are lucky enough to have been chosen to portray Charlie Bing, the main character of aspiring High School Drama '2-Faced'.

Kelsen: Yes I am and I am extremely overwhelmed by it. 

Me: How does the character of Charlie Bing compare to any other character you have played, especially within the High School Drama genre?

Kelsen: I think the character of Charlie Bing is not only a rare character within High School Dramas but in film in general. Being able to convey the troubles of the unacknowledged teens all over the world I feel privileged to do so and to do it in the best way that I can to honour them. 

Me: Did you find it hard to portray different personalities within 3 minutes of footage? 

Kelsen: Its not the easiest thing to do sometimes but with the help of props and costume I was able to get into the mindset of them different personalities as i separated the characteristics. 

Me: Thank you for your time and I wish you all the success you deserve from your role in '2-Faced'!  

Interview with Sound Designer

Interview with Sound Designer: (in written form)

Me: When creating music for the first few minutes of a film what would you say is important? 

Sound Designer: In the first few minutes of a film there should always be an obvious mood and whether it changes or not should be noticeable for the audience. So when creating the music for the title sequence of '2-Faced', considering the fact that there is a transition in character personality I had to show that through the beat and the tone of the sound.

Me: When creating two different tones and attitudes through sound what would you say is most important to include?

Sound Designer: When portraying a sad sound it is important to edge towards a light piano based background whereas when portraying a happier sound you are free to include drums and guitars, instruments which allow you play about with the outcome alot more. 

Me: How important would you said the inclusion of foley sounds are? 

Sound Designer: Foley sounds are important when trying to portray a realistic feel especially when there is no dialogue in the scenes. 

Me: Thank you for your time and I look forward to reporting back to the world of your work in '2-Faced'! 

Interview with Director

Interview with director: (written form)

Me: In filming specially for a title sequence of a film what do you want to capture for the audience?

Director: When you are filming footage for a "film" but its really just the first 2 minutes you have to allow the audience to understand what that "film" would be about but all within in boundaries. You don't want to give away too much because as a viewer you want to be surprised. 

Me: While filming the title sequence for '2-Faced' what do you want the audience to understand of the characters story?

Director: I feel like it is important for the audience to realise that there is a change in personality at some stage in the first few minutes of footage because that is one of key elements of the film, if not the most important thing to understand. 

Me: If you had the opportunity to film the rest of '2-Faced' would you?

Director: Most definitely! I believe this is a strong storyline unlike any other that would really stand out against all other High School Drama movies and I even believe this would be a hugely successful film within Hollywood. 

Me: Thank you for your time and I look forward to reporting back to the world about the highly anticipated '2-Faces'!
