Blog Evaluation Question 1

EVALUATION QUESTION 1:In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? on Prezi

These pictures show how we used mise-en-scene in the film and for the posters. The picture above was used for my poster, we choose to place the camera in a cupboard because we felt that it was an image which would pull you in seen as you normally wouldn't find a camera in this place and is therefore wrong.

 

This picture was designed to be a screen shot from the film that Jake used on his poster. In order to create the most effective shot we decided to close the curtains to make it look like something is wrong due to the fact that you can tell that the sun is out which also made the orange effect on the picture which we thought made the image look creepy.

The Final Film

This is our final film:

Film Pitch

Before we started filming we were asked to pitch the idea for our films and this was the pitch we produced:

Final Magazine Article Changes

We realized that there were problems with the layout of our poster and that we did not think that it looked professional enough. There fore we decided to change the layout and house style of the magazine, still using the same text content. This is the article as it currently looks:

Final Poster

We have also completed work on our final posters. We loosely worked together to create the posters so that the posters would have a similar house style but worked separately so we would each have our own mark on the posters we are submitting.

This is the poster that i will be submitting into the examiners. I choose this picture because i felt that it shows the technology element of the film but is also not a direct shot from the film which allows people who have seen the film to be able to look at the poster and realize this is what the character of Peterson would have seen in his final moments. Here is the poster very near to it's completion:

Final Corrections/Changes to Film

In the final few days of working on the film we made a few corrections and changes to the film. The main one of these changes was to change the title of the film from Pull Over, which we realized did not fit in with the story changes we had made due to restrictions during filming which meant that we could not use a car. The other part of the film we changed was the end credits sequence in which we added some hand held camera footage of one of the victims of the murders running through the woods and shows how they did end up at the house which we felt needed to be explained.
