Thrusday 1st December

Today we're ment to be editting our trailers but due to some difficulties uploading the files we haven't been able to so I'm updating my blog insteed and I need to write an evaluation on what I believe is strong, what i found difficult and what went well about my crime film trailer.

Thursday 24th November

I've completed the creation of my film trailer and now all I've got to do is edit it to make it my onwn piece of work, but right know we're having problems getting ourrecorded trailers onto the computer and onto our USB so once we've done that we'll be able to start the editing of the trailer.

I also got some head phones and a USB, YAY!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Wednesday 9th November

Today I've been working on finishing my poster for Davinder and I've also complete my Photography notes and I belive that my new poster doesn't need anything else added to it IT'S PERFECT!!!!!!!!

Thursad 10th November

today me and Andrew started producing our crime film tralier for the movie se7en and we've only got some little things to do and then we've completed our trailer and then we're going to move on to editting the crime trailer so that we can make it our own and unique.

It was enjoyable to make this trailer with Andrew which made those two lessons amazing and we had a great time I had to do some work with the camera but to be expected of me I was pretty amazing becuase i'm pro. Andrew was OK (not as good as me.)

I think that everything went perfect and i don't need to improve anything!!!!  (smiley face)    

Friday 4th November

Completed My crime film report all I've got to do now is print the work off and then I've finished the task.
After that I'm going to work on my poster evaluation to complete for Davin.

Thursday 3rd November

Today me and Andrew went outside with the cameras to start producing our crime trailers and we were also thinking about who was going to be in our trailer but everyone in our class are completely useless so I'll mostly likely get some of my mates to help us out.

In media we've been learning different camera shots and the names of them for example

A shot where you can only see the head of some one and theres a bit of space above their head means that its a close-up shot.

A point of view shot is when the camera is looking from some ones point of view the camera is supposed to be some ones eyes.

Over the shoulder shot is when the camera is looking over someones shoulder.

A medium close-up shot is when its between a close up shot and a mid range shot.

Blogging for the first time in ages

Finished the 3rd task that we had to do about finding secondary research on what things aren't allowed in a crime trailer, poster and web animation I don't think that its gone well becuase I couldn't understand the text on the websites so I tried to work with what text I could understand so this part of the course I haven't found to go so well. I couldn't find anything useful on any of the other websites so I only used the BBFC website.
 

Why weren't you here DAVINDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In todays lesson i discoverd that the Horror poster that i was analysing was actually a korean film made in 2010 then made into a US version for those silly Americans.
I analysed the different posters to see which one looks most like a horror film poster.

Friday 9:00am...............TIRED!!!!!!!!

16th September 2011

First lesson finished all my work that i've done so far now i've got to do some research on what audiences want to see in a crime film so i've started a questionaire asking about what people like in crime films and i gave them some options Guns/fighting, car chases, romance, setting, Investigation, explosions and storyline. giving the person open and closed questions. open questions are when the person filling in the questions gives morthen jusut a simple yes and no. Whereas a closed questions is just keeping your anwser simple to yes or no for example.

NOW I'VE GOT 3 HOURS TO KILL!!!!!!!!!! I think

Today

Thursday 15th September 2011

I did a video recording of my Crime film review my film was The Shawshank Redemption
to do this we used a tripod and a video camera that cost over £300, quite easy to set up we had to undo some clips so that we could move the tripods legs around and make the tripod bigger or smaller. We learnt how to move the camera around and what the movements are called.

I was confident about doing the video.
I took the video seriously (sarcasum).
Anwsered all the questions.

I think that it could have gone better if i worked a bit more about how i was going to anwser the questions.
if I used a little more detail on my anwsers.   

Media Work so far

Hello Gordon, Else, Davinder and Davin checking on my blog are you well how dare you!!! But now its time to be seriouse (if thats how you spell it).


I've been watching crime trailers in my media class trying to find out what makes a crime film.
Analysing a crime film and making a review on the film and the poster, trailer and website of that film and then making improvments on the work later. We've also started to analyse a poster of a horror film find the denotations and connotations of the poster. I chose the horror film "I Saw The Devil".

In my first class I learned that I should focus on every little detail  because it gives me an idea of what is to be expected in a crime film. I learnt how to analyse a movie poster in a different way then when i did in my summer task in my photography lesson that I need to describe whats in the poster and the feeling that it gives off. I've gone over my summer task to improve parts of it that could have been better what I did manly was try to go into as much detail as I could think of. In my media class with Else moving the camera around because inside i'm like a child (and on the outside). In my lesson with Davin we had to find the poster of the film that we'd analysed in the summer and anwser some questions about the poster and Davin sat at listened to our anwsers. This helped me to improve my summer work.

I beleived that the analying part of the whole work was what I've done well in because I found it quite straight foward.

I could work on how to get cirtain parts of the tripod to work and ask how to use the camera.

Work on my Denotation & Connotation more.
