We have shown our film to our target audience and they have given us video feedback of what they thought of the film and given us a review. We have chosen two people to make it more fair.ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-60675416347891223122012-04-24T04:03:00.001-07:002012-04-30T05:00:01.956-07:00Codes And Conventions Of Film OpeningThe codes of a film opening would be mostly technical codes due to mostly being designed and also edited on computers. A film opening will also have symbolic codes as in the openings the characters will have symbolic codes to signify to the audience whether they are the good guys or bad guys. For example, in The Incredibles opening scene, they are wearing the similar designed clothing and the same colour which is red which suggests to the audience that they are on the same team. The colour is symbolic as it could show that they are the bad guys as red is associated with blood, fire and various other things which are mainly considered evil with the colour red. Even though the opening is done solely on computer, you can still find symbolic codes such as the clothing and colours. In the opening it shows you what genre the film is as it is an animation and the opening is done on computer which suggests to the audience that the film will be an animation. In the opening sequence you see the characters mostly fighting/martial arts which suggests that it will be an action film aswell as fighting connotes to the audience that there will be lots of fights scenes and that its an action animation film. The costumes suggest to the audience that it might also be a superhero film. Film openings usually have the companies logo in order to show that they own the film so we would expect the pixar or Disney logo to be present in the incredibles opening scene but instead the logo of the incredibles is shown which suggests that they want the logo of the incredibles to be instantly recognisable.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another thing which audiences will expect from a film opening is the title credits and cast. The incredibles opening scene does show the cast and who will do the voice overs for which character and also includes the names of the people who created the film for example the director Brad Bird. The opening also depicts what will happen in the film without essentially ruining the plot. The opening does this by showing random fights from the film just as a film trailer would do. We can see in the opening sequence that the team who are most likely to be the incredibles (due to them wearing red as it is the main color in the opening) fighting a giant robot which suggests to the audience that the robot will most likely be the bad guy or that it might be a weapon used by another party.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we can compare the opening of the incredibles to the opening of iron man and see similar things:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
we can see that both openings are done on computer where they have been edited. Both depict what the movie will be about such as iron man depicting a robot or a man in an iron suit which depicts that it will be futuristic or be an action film. Also both include casting credits and titles which is what most film openings have.</div>

<br />
This is the final version of our film which we have slightly re-edited. In the final version we decided to edit the ending title and also have added a little whisper at the end where Kallam confirms that he will get his revenge on the bullies. The whisper at the end makes the film less confusing to the audience as they now know why he attacked one of the bullies (Farhan) at the beginning of the film which is set one month after the rest of the movie and the rest of the movie is told in flashback. The whisper at the end also counts as dialogue which is good as we don't have that much dialogue but just enough to understand what is happening in the plot.ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-42538523656834005782012-04-24T03:38:00.001-07:002012-04-24T03:38:12.686-07:00Kallams Return - Draft<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pJ08GCLWgB0" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
This is the draft of our horror film. In the film the protagonist Kallam is tormented and bullied by three of his classmates and when they push Kallam too far he turns the tables and exacts revenge. In our film we have done various different camera shots and angles but the shot we mainly wanted for our film was the first person view where Kallam is on the swings and can see his tormentors approaching and also the heavy breathing as they come near signifies that Kallam is terrified of them. we had to retake the scene where Kallam is on the swings as he found it tricky to keep the handheld camera steady whilst swinging and me, Farhan and Kashif also found it hard to get the timing right to walk into the shot. We also edited the lighting in the park scene to make it seem darker and grittier than it actually is. For our final scene we decided to have the setting in the woods as the trees naturally cause the surroundings to be dim which causes a more eerie effect to the audience and connotes that something bad will happen. The story is being told in flashback and tells the story of why Kallam decides to kill the bullies. We have also added casting names to our characters when they appear on screen so the audience know who they are and also the names are in specific colour such as red for the bullies to signify they are evil and associated with violence as red is the colour of blood. For Kallam we have chosen a bright blue colour to signify he is the protagonist. The clothing in the final scene shows Kallam in white which is associated with good but when he puts on the mask his clothes are now black which suggest he has had a change of heart and has turned evil.ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-66862850733507268092012-04-24T03:05:00.000-07:002012-04-24T03:05:03.174-07:00Preliminary Final<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C01-ZTuCsdg" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
This is our final preliminary video we have done. In the draft there was no dialogue which was replaced by texting on mobile phones but we have changed it from the draft and we have added dialogue instead of texts. In our draft we experimented with different camera angles and shots and learned which would make our preliminary more enjoyable instead of linear and bland. We had to consider which shots we wanted to make the audience feel that they are following the character as he gets a phone call.ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-72609086835224674632012-04-24T02:52:00.000-07:002012-04-24T02:52:13.950-07:00Animatic final<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qwI-d57DeGE" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
This is our final media story board animatic which we have done for our film. Our draft we made was too confusing as to what the plot was. My group have added more detail to the story board such as adding in curtains and desks to show that it is a classroom. Also we have colored each character in a certain colour as to make it clear as to what is going on. We also show how the flashback will work in our film as we start the film in the present day as shown in the story board and then we flash back to a month before to set out the plot and why there is a killer on the loose.ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-68409767606336235322012-04-23T22:22:00.000-07:002012-04-23T22:22:45.616-07:00Our filming timetable<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have developed a mood board where we show the themes of our film. The main themes of our film are kidnap, torture, death and violence. My group have picked these due to the themes relating to horror. Our mood board shows our film will be horror as we see gravestones with two ghosts hovering over which suggests that our film will involve the supernatural and include death as gravestones represent death. Next to the graves we see two men scrapping in a brawl which suggests violence will play a part in our film and that we aim to give the feel of an adrenaline rush throughout our film. We also show various characters in masks which means that our film will have some representation of evil in a mask as to show that the film will be about killers aswell as supernatural beings. The blood that is drawn throughout our mood board shows that our film will be gruesome and that violence will play a key part in our film. The writing we have put across our mood board connotes what will happen in our film and suggests that there will be murders and killers on the loose.ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-72490080429047296802012-04-23T21:39:00.000-07:002012-04-24T02:58:54.602-07:00preliminary research draft<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Xveui6dhvok" width="560"></iframe><br />
this is our preliminary research task where we had to film. The filming was done by Ehsham Javed, Farhan Mohammed, Kallam Hussain and Kashif Zaman. Only Farhan and Kallam did the acting and during the beginning there was a problem with some shots missing which meant that the entire scene had to be redone. This was the only problem we had the first time but after we had made this mistake then we decided to start a new script in order for more dialogue to be used as there wasn't enough on our first script. The end result was that our script helped our new film to look much better and overall more entertaining than the first script we made and we practiced different camera angles and shots in our first take which meant for the second take we knew which angles and shots to go with.ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-65997869602647654282012-04-23T21:30:00.002-07:002012-04-30T05:19:29.900-07:00Preliminary research task<strong><u>Film Editing</u></strong><br />
<br />
In film, editing is very important as it can make you edit a film in any way you want such as cutting out things that you don't want in your film and adding sequences together to make a series of events that you shot in a week, look like it all happened in a day. Editing can be a whole range of things such as slowing down set movements which makes things appear in slow-motion or adding special effects such as the title or writing on the screen and explosions and computer generated image ( CGI ) where you can add anything in your film through a computer. People who edit are called editors and they are mainly used to edit films such as cutting clips and adding images and then putting sequences together to make a film. <br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PdSM789rlJk" width="420"></iframe><br />
This is one of the older black and white films and is an example of bad editing as you can clearly see when the shot ends and then the screen blacks out before going to a new shot and this will slow down the story and keep the film boring.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Continuity Editing</u></strong><br />
<br />
Continuity Editing is a style of film editing and video editing used in the post-production of filmaking. The reason continuity editing is used is so that the discontinuity can be smoothed over and to edit shots together to make a sequence of events happen straight after each other and to get footage which was shot in a week and fit it into a few minutes of film. Continuity editing helps the film to flow through sequences and events and this keeps the audience engaged with the story and understand what is happening in the film. Editors put clips together to make a film and so when watching one clip, it smoothes into the next clip without pause so the audience understand what is going on in the film and can follow the sequence of events. Continuity editing is important in filmaking and good for the story and plot as it doesn't get confusing plus in modern film you cannot notice the changes when a clip cuts into the next. With continuity editing you can suggest to the audience that the camera simply changes angles during a single event when really its a series of different shots. Also match on action is when something happens in the scene and when there is a cut then this shows to the audience that the action is still going on and is an important part in helping the audience to keep up and understand what is happening. This is an example of continuity editing.<br />
Continuaty editing is divided up into two categories:<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Temporal editing</u></strong><br />
<br />
This is when you connect shots together in order to create and support a narrative so the audience will not get confused with the plot of the film and to keep the flow going between shots. The shots can be linear in order to create a simple linear progression in a film or can include flashbacks or flash forwards to show the audience that a significant amount of time has passed from one shot to the next and also can improve on the narrative by showing what has happened in the past or what will happen in the future in a films narrative. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Spatial editing </u></strong><br />
This editing creates unified space through the editing. shots from different angles & framing. Shot / reverse shots. also kuleshove effect this also includes something known as parrelel editing.<br /><strong></strong><b><u>180 degree rule</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1wj3xmyFe_4ZO5rT8kog2wkf2Xmipw9-zgk7KVkg4o1ijyXSZ9NaSn9qmGd4RSefdPvtdo6HT7LdWKLSQ2hQhafpuw22M7MOR3_mEBpL1z0gWBLbJgsPEIHKIw6PpK9hZzvFq01-Sctk/s1600/180+degree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1wj3xmyFe_4ZO5rT8kog2wkf2Xmipw9-zgk7KVkg4o1ijyXSZ9NaSn9qmGd4RSefdPvtdo6HT7LdWKLSQ2hQhafpuw22M7MOR3_mEBpL1z0gWBLbJgsPEIHKIw6PpK9hZzvFq01-Sctk/s1600/180+degree.jpg" /></a></div>
this is when you are filming a shot and the camera is on one side. an example of this is if there are two people on stage so the camera can only be on one side of the 180 degree rule as to make it seem more realistic.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Reverse shot</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b><br />
this is a shot where the camera is placed behind a character who is looking off screen at another character and then the camera is placed behind the second character as if to show the second character is looking back at the first. This technique is used to show that the characters are looking in opposite directions at each other and this shows the audience that the two characters are facing each other.<br />

The park has many different areas, mainly we chose to film at first the swings during the daytime to show Kallam where he feels most comfortable and then the second area being covered in more trees and isolated from the rest of the park which creates tension and gives a sense of danger as it is an secluded area and is also unfamiliar to Kallam which will make him feel uncomfortable and also due to there being more trees in the secluded area, there is less light which gives it an eerie feeling.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Protagonist and antagonist</u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">The protagonist for our film is a weak, geeky sixth former who is bullied which will cause the audience to sympathize with him and also relate to as many people have been bullied in their lives. Throughout the film, the protagonist will be bullied more and more until he is killed and then comes back to life and decides to exact revenge on his tormentors which will cause the audience to like him more as he stands up to the bullies and takes revenge. By the end of the film the protagonist will be an opposition of how he was at the beginning as he becomes the tormentor rather than the tormented.</div><div style="text-align: left;">The antagonists for our film will be three bullies who stick together and torment peoples lives simply out of the pleasure of seeing other people suffer and to make other people feel bad for their own insecurities. They will show their behavior and personality through their actions to intimidate and physically harm their victims. They usually dress in dark clothing to reflect their personalities. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Three act structure</u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u><br />
</u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">1. The setup :</u> the set up for our film is, Kallam the protagonist arrives to college and wants to do his work and try to ignore the bullies who constantly harass him. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">2. The setback :</u> Kallam is on the swings at the park where he is free from his tormentors but the antagonists find him and then beat him up and nearly kill him. Then they find him another day and beat him again in a secluded area of the park and kill him for good.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u>3. The resolution</u></b> : The protagonist rises from the dead and dons a new identity which he uses to exact revenge on his tormentors and kill them.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Theory :</u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Binary opposition - The binary opposition we have chosen for our film is weak vs strong and the reason we have chosen this is to show the everyday struggle between weaker people such as victims of bullying and the stronger people who are the bullies. This is a good opposite mainly because the audience can relate to the struggle between the weak and the strong and how the weak can triumph and become the strong through acts of forceful revenge and motivation.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Character type :</u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">In our film the protagonist will be believable to the audience as he will be a victim of bullying which will also cause the audience to feel sympathy for him and want him to take revenge on the bullies and as bullying is a part of most peoples lives, the audience will be able to relate more to him and understand how his feeling throughout the film. The protagonist will soon be killed by his bullies but return to life in order to exact revenge and will then become an anti-hero as he kills the bullies in violent ways and shows no sympathy towards them, the same way they showed none towards him and he will then reflect how the bullies made his life hell but now he is making their lives hell and he will portray conventions of the horror film genre as he will wear a grotesque mask while killing his tormentors in order to show that he has a new identity as a murderer. The antagonists will consist of:</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ehsham - He is the biggest of the three bullies and the most physically intimidating due to size and stature yet is only the wing-man in the group. He likes to verbally taunt the protagonist with insults in order to impress others around him.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Farhan - He is the leader of the group even though he is the smallest in size and he mainly uses mind games to get what he wants from people. The other bullies are afraid of him due to his aggression and <span style="text-align: center;">fearfulness and is the bully who beats up the protagonist to near death.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">Kashif - He is the outcast among the bullies as he goes along with them just so he can fit in with a group. He is the weakest of the three and is the only bully who wants to change his ways and doesn't have any resentment towards the protagonist.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Equilibrium theory</u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><u><br />
</u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Equilibrium - the protagonist arrives to college and proceeds to do his work as he usually does and gets verbally taunted by the antagonists.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Disequilibrium - The antagonist start physically attacking the protagonist and eventually kill him</div><div style="text-align: left;">New state of equilibrium - Kallam comes back to life in order to exact revenge on the antagonists.</div></div>ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-21451839939554859692011-12-12T05:50:00.003-08:002012-04-24T04:20:23.720-07:00Preliminary Research<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In our preliminary research task my group consisting of me (Ehsham), Kashif, Kallam and Farhan. We had to finish off our storyboards which were fairly simple as most of the storyboards were done already. A problem we had was that we confused a set of sequences on a storyboard so had to redo our storyboard from scratch and also we didn’t have our resources such as crayons so we had to wait whilst someone went to collect the crayons. Also at the beginning of the lesson the computers were not turning on which we had to call the technician in to fix it which he did. We also added more dialogue in our new script as there wasn’t enough in the older script which gives more insight into what is happening in the plot and makes it more detailed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is how a big prodcution film studio like pixar use storyboards effectively for their films and they use storyboards to essentially plan out the film. They are different from scripts as they depict how scenes will be played out and what angles and camera shots shall be used in the film.</span><br />

Our main character Kallam will wear casual bright clothing at the beginning of the film to show binary opposition that he is the good guy who hasn't done anything wrong compared to the bullies who intimidate and violate him physically and verbally every single day for absolutely no reason at all.<br />
During the course of the film Kallams clothing changes to becoming more rugged and bloodstained and darker in order to show the transformation of the character from good to evil and the bullies clothing will also become more practical over the course of the film and change from dark and get more light to show they seek forgiveness from Kallam and that they realise what they have done is wrong.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Lighting</u></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-54Ef6rZQIvK8Mq01CmWqOn81EGgsAcOcfqd-yypoIciqilk-Dcc8vjQz1vj5nWjRdLFYZE29nxJGstTufeyZvjXFcal8kG8nHLyDoyrbCEpj98wJPctiqN_Y2SkimBPah0pGgdwLy3s/s1600/low+key002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-54Ef6rZQIvK8Mq01CmWqOn81EGgsAcOcfqd-yypoIciqilk-Dcc8vjQz1vj5nWjRdLFYZE29nxJGstTufeyZvjXFcal8kG8nHLyDoyrbCEpj98wJPctiqN_Y2SkimBPah0pGgdwLy3s/s320/low+key002.jpg" width="317px" /></a></div>The lighting will be low-key whenever the bullies are in the scene to represent evil and darkness to show that bad things will happen whenever the bullies are around. When Kallam is around the lighting will be brighter and high-key in order to show that he is innocent and good and the audience will associate him with good things rather than evil. When Kallam is on the floor being beaten up by the bullies the lighting will be mostly low-key and shadowy on the bullies faces to show darkness and evil triumphing over good as Kallam is being beaten up but there will be a small ray of light shining on Kallams face to signalise that even in dark times, there is hope.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Props</u></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Our film will have various props such as the unique mask which will be a clown mask with the top cut off to just show the sinister smile because his bullies used to laugh at him when he would cry due to their torments and the mask reflects that he is now having the last laugh and that he is uncapable of smiling due to severe depression he reflects how he feels through his mask. This mask will initimidate his bullies and they will change from laughing to fearful emotions. The place that the bullies will last terror him will be the park as that is the only place where Kallam can be at peace with himself but when the bullies bully him on the swings, Kallam accidentaly chokes to death on the swings chain and the park will then symbolise death rather than life. Kallams weapon will be a chain and a wire which he will use to strangle his bullies as they did to him to engage in perfect revenge.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDgbg7_Yf3NoXPUIuL5pMxr2nwoYNdRMtzCxA-PRHS9r8u0bAu0y8EedL3I6XBvrKASqlU7nu1ZkQKc26lK4-wR6usghDZfWI4QpZ6s7cM0ajYJuSc2LGQqJb4s6z8Zlrt10OSNm1ceMo/s1600/line-wire-silver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285px" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDgbg7_Yf3NoXPUIuL5pMxr2nwoYNdRMtzCxA-PRHS9r8u0bAu0y8EedL3I6XBvrKASqlU7nu1ZkQKc26lK4-wR6usghDZfWI4QpZ6s7cM0ajYJuSc2LGQqJb4s6z8Zlrt10OSNm1ceMo/s320/line-wire-silver.jpg" style="cursor: move;" unselectable="on" width="320px" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Our films first setting will be in the classroom to show where the bullying first started and to show Kallams behaviour is that of a lonely person who doesn't speak much and tries to do as much work as he can and to show how he has no friends and that the rest of the class also laugh at him. Our second setting will be on the streets to show that he is further bullied outside the classroom and how it is a regular, day to day game for the bullies to make his life hell. It also shows the bullies disregard for his safety as they don't care if they push him into oncoming traffic or throw stones at him. We will also have a few shots of Kallam walking into and out of his house. Our main setting will be at the park, mainly on the swings and at first we will shoot Kallam on the swings on a sunny day to show that this is the one place where Kallam is most happy and for the first time Kallam is smiling and happy but then when the bullies find him at the swings they torment hima nd accidentally kill him with the swings chain and now the park is known for a dark reason than a happy one as the next shot will have the sky grey to signify that it is no longer Kallams happy place. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23kyPfXg4uU5QA6nf4m5OIC_sbZjXOrw2sf2vdgQ7LSIeDWY1-A6jHH9bq0u79d8J1jow8cmF3w_RKxxDGkR_Gp8X5UTqGQbmN-ZsKYhwqEQLEKHUNdF190onp-nVFwzvr_XnTFVES_Y/s1600/6swings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23kyPfXg4uU5QA6nf4m5OIC_sbZjXOrw2sf2vdgQ7LSIeDWY1-A6jHH9bq0u79d8J1jow8cmF3w_RKxxDGkR_Gp8X5UTqGQbmN-ZsKYhwqEQLEKHUNdF190onp-nVFwzvr_XnTFVES_Y/s320/6swings.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div><img height="85px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDgbg7_Yf3NoXPUIuL5pMxr2nwoYNdRMtzCxA-PRHS9r8u0bAu0y8EedL3I6XBvrKASqlU7nu1ZkQKc26lK4-wR6usghDZfWI4QpZ6s7cM0ajYJuSc2LGQqJb4s6z8Zlrt10OSNm1ceMo/s320/line-wire-silver.jpg" style="filter: alpha(opacity=30); left: 259px; mozopacity: 0.3; opacity: 0.3; position: absolute; top: 1214px; visibility: hidden;" width="96px" /><br />

Filmography<br />
Film : childs play<br />
Director : Tom Holland<br />
Release date : 1988ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-22794819804976693862011-11-09T02:45:00.000-08:002011-11-09T02:45:58.909-08:00Narrative theories research taskNarrative is a constructive format that describes a sequence of events whether they are fictional or non-fictional such as a story is often used to describe what a narrative is and also a narrative is used in film to keep the flow of the story. This explains where the story comes from and what the story is about.<br />
<br />
Narrative is important as it helps keep the story flowing and explains to you what is happening in the story so you don't lose what the plot is. The flow of the film is set by narrative and as the film progresses the narrative informs you of what is happening so you don't get confused and this is why narrative is important in film.<br />
<br />
The three narrative theories are :<br />
Equilibrium, Disequibilrium and new state of equibilirium which are when the film at the beginning is all normal and everything is fine, just a normal day and then a problem occurs and this is the diseqiulibrium which upsets the balance of the equilibrium and then this problem is sorted and then a new state of equibilirium is set which everything is almost similiar to the equilibrium at the beginning but is not the same as things have changed since then. <br />
<br />
Binary opposition is a theory of opposites where it is good vs evil, light vs dark, tall vs dark, woman vs man and so on. This theory is that everything in film has an opposite such as a battle between the batman and the joker in the dark knight which shows the battle between good and evil.<br />
<br />
Character types are also one of the three narrative theories which say that each character in a film has a certain role or particular set out which they are used for in the film such as:<br />
Hero : the good guy, strong, handsome, rescues the day.<br />
Villian : evil, ugly, power-hungry, world domination.<br />
Sidekick : used for comedy, smaller than the hero, depends on the hero and follows him around.<br />
Heroine : falls in love with the hero and also fights her own battles.<br />
Helper : helps the hero on his journey usually with advice or an object<br />
Mentor : teaches the hero everything he needs for his journey<br />
father : looks after the hero usually is older and very close to the hero.<br />
<br />
The most useful theory we can use in our film opening will be the equilibrium theory as the bullies lives will start off as the equilibrium which will be everything is normal at the start for them then the biggest change will be the disequilibrium where Kallam commits suicide and then comes back from the dead in order to exact revenge and this turns the bullies lives upside down and they must sort the disequilibrium and start a new state of equilibrium.<br />
<br />
Kidulthood is also like this as at the start everything is normal until a girl gets bullied and commits suicide due to her tormentors bullying and from then on the film changes and becomes more dark. <br />
<br />

Me and Kashif were two aliens in human disguise who came to watch the white house blow up and detonate it in honour of our home planet. <br />
<br />
We had to time the sequence and the words perfectly in order for the explosion to happen at exactly 25 seconds so we had to practice our dialogue and add more in so the sequence reached 25 seconds when the explosion happens. We used a smart phone as the cleverly disguised detonator and made a call to the mother ship to activate the beam which destroys the white house. <br />
<br />
We then after recording went on the apple macs to edit the recording over the blue screen of the alien attack on the white house but this didn't work as we had the wrong type of file and we were not able to convert the file so we will now overcome this problem by converting the file to the one that final cut will recognise<br />

It is very important to find out what genre of film people would want to watch so you can find out the most wanted genre an audience would like to watch and make a profit by making a good film that a target audience would like to watch. It is important for filmmakers to find out what they need in their films to attract people of different demographics such as making a film with a female lead character in an action film even though men are usually lead roles for their masculinity and this is in order to attract more women to their films and as not to stereotype women in film as being sidekicks or a ' damsel in distress ' or releasing a family film during the summer in order to attract families as the holidays is when they mostly watch films especially in the summer as these are called summer blockbusters as they make a lot of money from families watching them. Filmmakers also now try not to stereotype in their films like they used to such as an american action film would always have an american hero saving the world from the evil soviet russian or the chinese and stereotyping them as always being bad and themselves as the good guys but now you see americans as the bad guys and also villians now usually have more depth and a past story in order for the audience to associate more with that character and to relate to them.<br />
<br />
There are three main theories that we use in film : <br />
Hyperdermic needle is the theory which suggest that media can manipulate people and their influences. This is by filmakers trying to make their films believable on the audience such as the blair witch project which was shot in documentary form as the directors wanted to make the audience believe that it was based on a true story as it says at the beginning that three student filmakers went missing and now footage has been found of what happened to them. This makes the audience tense and believe that there is a killer out in the woods and the legend of the blair witch exists.<br />
<br />
Two step flow is how the film is spread through more traditional means such as word of mouth and is a way of advertising such as a person will watch a film and if they like it then they will tell their friends and recommend the film and so they will tell their friends and the cycle will continue such as the blair witch was spread mainly through word of mouth due to it being a low-budget film.<br />
<br />
Reception analysis is how each person of the audience will view a film and view it differently from another person as they will view the film and find their own meaning for it. A good film will be where certain things in the film will have different meanings such as in Donnie Darko most people would have a different view as if the main character is actually seeing a man in a bunny suit and travelling in time or if he is just schizophrenic and this is how people view a film differently from each other.<br />

<br />
Genre is a category which you categorise films and other pieces of literature or music. For example movies would be put into certain genres for what they depict in their films such as a film about monsters and murder would be in the genre of horror. There are various genres but the main and popular ones are usually action, horror, comedy, romance or sci-fi. Sometimes there are sub-genres where two genres come together in a film such as the action-adventure genre which is very popular.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Advantages</u></strong><br />
<br />
There are many advantages to having films be categorised into genres. One of these advantages of categorising films into genres is for film goers and the audience to know what they can expect for a certain film when going to see it so they wont be disappointed as what to expect from a certain film. Filmmakers also benefit from categorising films into genres in order to attract a certain audience to their films as some film goers prefer a certain genre over the other so categorising a film into the horror genre will attract an audience who like that particular genre. Genres can be used to work out myths and fears and also if there was no genre there would only be one type of film coming out all the time and the audience would be bored of this so different genres can provide fresh material. Also genre can be seen as a reassurance in a dangerous world as movie goers can feel happiness from a certain genre such as comedy which can lift up their spirits on days they are feeling down<br />
<br />
<b><u>Disadvantages</u></b><br />
<b><u><br />
</u></b><br />
There are also disadvantages to having genres. One of these is that we should be understanding of how a film is functioned in relation to genre rather than being defined by a certain genre. We should also note that a genre will only function depending on the audiences understanding of such genre.<br />
<br />
The genre of the film my group have chosen will be a sub-genre of horror/thriller which will contain the conventions of gore, voilence, blood, mystery, death and action.<br />
<br />
The origins of the horror genre start of in the late 1890's when in 1896 there were many short silent films being produced and one of these is a three minute long french film entitl<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">ed 'la manoir du diable' ( the manor of the devil ) which is also credited as the first vampire film. After this more and more horror films were being made due to thier increasing popularity due to audiences liking to be shocked. Some notable horror films were frankenstein and bram stokers dracula which are both credited as classics. Horror films used to be about monsters and would rely on tension and suspense to scare an audience but now more and more horror films use gore and voilence to reach the same goals seen with the zombie films being released in the 1960's -1980's. Now horror films usually focus on a murderer who goes around the film killing people and uses the gore as the main attraction for audiences.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Some good examples of the horror genre would be director George Romero <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_A._Romero">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_A._Romero</a> He is credited as '' the godfather of zombies '' and is noted for his films about zombie apocalypses such as ' dawn of the dead ' ' night of the living dead ' and ' day of the dead '. Due to these films he has created his own sub-genre of zombie horror films and has also improved gore in horror films due to his zombies and George is so well known he is even a character in a zombies add on to the game series called call of duty which shows his effort into the horror genre has been recognised.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Another good example of the horror genre would be Signourey Weaver. She is a famous actor who is known for being in one of the greatest horror films of all time called 'Alien'. At the time main characters in horror or action films would be men but instead it was a women who was the hero of the film who combatted alien creatures in a futuristic space setting.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'MS Sans Serif'; font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">One particular film of the horror genre that i think is a good example of the horror genre is the blair witch project.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D51QgOHrCj0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D51QgOHrCj0</a>.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Blair witch project is about three students filming a documentary in the woods about a famous myth of a serial killer. During their filming they realise they are lost and being stalked by the same killer they are documenting their film about. The Blair witch project is a good film of the horror genre due to its realism and making the audience believe that this happened and is a true story when it is not. The actors in the film are not famous and genuinely come across as students who get lost in the woods. The suspense from the film starts at the beginning where it says that 3 students went missing in the woods and that their bodies have not been found but only a camcorder which shows the last remaining footage of their whereabouts which sets the mood for the rest of the film. The film is shot using handheld cameras which effects it making it more realistic as the camera shakes when the characters are running through the woods whilst being chased which gives you a feel of the atmosphere and makes you feel involved in the tension of the film as you see everything from their point of view. This makes the movie even more suspenseful and keeps you on edge but the scariest thing about the film is that you never see the killer, only hear him. Not seeing the killer in the film but knowing that he is there is what makes the Blair witch project so scary and makes it one of the best films as you hear that he is chasing you and combined with the shaky cam makes an experience like no other.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/lhwl2ibaDUw?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This film opening is from the film iron man </span><br />
Film release: 2008<br />
Director: Jon Favreau<br />
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth paltrow<br />
<a href="http://www.imdb.co.uk/tt0371746/">http://www.imdb.co.uk/tt0371746/</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The genre of this film is action and the genre conventions i would expect from the action genre are lots of gunfights, car-chases, explosions and more action based rather than dialogue or story driven which means it focuses on entertaining audiences with explosions and gun fights rather than the plot or dialogue the of the characters.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The technical codes of the iron man sequence are all computer generated (CGI) as it shows a type of blueprint of a robotic suit being made which shows that the film will have advanced technology and might possibly even be set in the future as technology such as a robotic suit doesn't exist in todays world.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/131/7/0/Iron_Man_Mark_6_Blueprints_by_mellonemrys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246px" src="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/131/7/0/Iron_Man_Mark_6_Blueprints_by_mellonemrys.jpg" width="320px" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">The key signifiers of the iron man opening sequence is the blue light which is frequently shown through the sequence and this could signify the light as a source of energy, the light that is shown on the heart of the robotic suit and may also signify good as light is shown as representing good and darkness represents evil and this tells me as he has light at his heart, it means he is good-hearted. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Also the red is a signifier as its shown throughout the sequence and this could signify that there will be blood in the film as red symbolises blood. Another key signifier is the light on his hand which could signify that he has an array of weapons at his disposal due to the advanced technology which could feature in the film.</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sequence tells us about the content of the movie and that it will have cool technology and special effects in the film which tells us that there will be loads of fights done in cgi including the explosions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The audience being targeted is children as the opening title sequence is done in cartoonish animations in order to attract the attention of children and keep them interested plus the idea of robotic suits will have them engaged as kids are interested in robots.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/nJtUdm3TLZ8?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The second film i will be analysing is called the incredibles.</span><br />
Film release: 2004<br />
Director: Brad Bird<br />
Starring: Craig T. Nelson, Samuel L Jackson<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The genre of this film is an action-adventure animated film as it is all done in animation and in the opening sequence is punching in the opening sequence and explosions and this will be a superhero film as they are wearing masks and costumes with the letter ' I ' on it to symbolise they are on the same team and are called the incredibles. The technical codes of the incredibles is that it is animated which means the whole film is done on computer.</span><br />
<br />
<img height="240px" id="il_fi" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbEkOBlH7vaA8rFAK6pZz7ZymWFfWlgHUz2HO5Tn1gq_oVFklwW1tNEMb3iuxC4L8r-XY4IHTCqN2cCfRRMNB4UaS8fN3UUT37D6lU2z0O_lBS8_q0-rlbC1Ds7uWQhh2bcKfFp64gUf0/s320/The_Incredibles_1024x768-disneypicture.net.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="320px" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The key signifier is the black masks on and the identical red costumes with the ' I ' which signifies that they are superheroes as the matching costumes symbolises they have connection with each other and also it shows the characters possessing unique superpowers such as the baby setting on fire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sequence would make you suspect that there is a family aspect to the film as the team consists of a male and female along with children including a baby which shows they may be a family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The target audience could be kids and would attract to families as the main characters could all be a family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It also shows signifiers of an action-adventure film as it shows a map of an island which could be the setting for the film or the place where they could be looking for a certain object which adds to the adventure genre.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/suvGCjRFEHM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">The third and final title sequence i will be analysing is from the film Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark. The genre of the raiders of the lost ark is the action-adventure film genre. The conventions i would expect from the action-adventure genre are that of loads of explosions and gunfights and car chases and loads of set pieces which are fast and exciting in order to engage the audience. I would also expect exotic locations and i can tell this from the title sequence that one of the locations in the film will be Egypt as there are hieroglyphics written on the wall before they are turned into English writing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> From this title sequence i can see that the main setting in this film will be Egypt. The key signifier is the writing being changed by being smashed against the wall and they turn into English which suggests its forced. Also it seems the movie will be set in the past as it shows the wall as being old. The name of the film also sounds exotic and mysterious as it says raiders which are people who raid certain places such as homes or graves and the lost ark is also a religious artifact from in the bible which was a ark which possessed untold powers and contained the 10 commandments. From this i can tell that the plot of the film will be people trying to raid/steal this artifact called the ark of the covenant. This suggests there will be both good and evil people chasing the ark.</span>ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763255670397463416.post-9639046257314950472011-09-13T01:40:00.000-07:002011-09-13T01:40:32.840-07:00First post.My group name : digital sensations<br />

<br />
The poster is of the film the pirates of the Caribbean which is in the genre of historical action and adventure.<br />
The conventions of action-adventure is , exotic locations, gunfights, ship battles, car chases, sword fights, villains, explosions and attractive women in order to appeal to the audience who are interested in the genre of action-adventure.<br />
<br />
The key signifier of this image would be the pirate in the middle with a red turban on as he is a sign that he is a pirate as he has a tattoo on his hand which signifies that he could be part of a group of pirates associated with that tattoo. he also seems to be the main character as he is situated in the middle and higher than the rest to show he is of importance in the film. He has two weapons in his hands, one a sword and the other a olden gun to symbolise old and new together and also pirates used to use these weapons. These weapons signify that he will be in a lot of fights which shows what to expect in the film. The skull on the top has a red turban to show he is the main character. The man with the skull in his hand seems like a villain as he has a skull which symbolises death to show wherever he goes, death will follow. He is in contrast to the man on the other side of the poster as he is very good looking and young whilst the man holding the skull is old and un-attractive.<br />
<br />
The poster denotes a group of people with the man in the middle wearing a red turban with a sword and gun whilst the old man is holding a skull and on the opposite side is a young man next to an attractive woman.<br />
This connotes that the man with the turban is the main character as he is in the middle and seems that he is a violent person as he is carrying a gun and sword. The lady signifies romance in the film as she has cleavage and is also young and good looking. The man with the skull could be a villain as he is older than the rest and that he has a skull in his hand which suggests death and he is the only one smiling to show the audience he is different to the rest. The background is also dark which shows that the film will be dark and have evil in it.<br />
The poster suggests to the audience that their will be sword/gunfights in the film as the main character is wielding both weapons. The woman suggests romance will play a part along with the young man who is stood by her to suggest they will be in love. It also suggests that the setting will be in the Caribbean and be based around pirates as the skull and bones is the insignia of many pirates who used to exist in the past.ehsham javedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08993217572707509101noreply@blogger.com0
