Evaluation Question Three

 

Evaluation Question Two

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

We have tried to convey a sense of verisimilitude in our film opening, we have done this by attempting to look at most of the social groups.

Gender was shown in a positive and stereotypical way for the male character, as the male character is seen to be the most important character. However in the film the female is seen in a non-stereotypical way and negatively as she was the one whom betrayed Jake Schofield an killed his best friend

The way we use low angles also highlights Schofield's male dominance. 

The audience is meant to feel sorry for this character as he has just lost his best friend, Mark Hitching. However, we realise now that the storyline may have made the audience get mixed emotions about Schofield.
Our character was the only character being focused on, this is to show that he is not accepted by anyone else, and that he is now alone without Mark Hitching. 

We didn't really represent age as there was only one character in our film opening, and he was aged 27. To improve we would show a variety of characters that would represent their age.

Other social groups weren't really represented, this is because there was only one character in the film opening. 

Evalation Question One

As drama normally have a lot of verisimilitude, it means that we thought that our film opening should also have a sense of realism, this was done as we show the emotion of our actor, especially on the bridge and the bench.

The leaflet that I have created it on the bench because it shows continuity. The font and the style shows a sense of dismay and that the main character is fragile. This is the reason that I chose it, and faded it, this was to create emphasis that Jake Schofield is slowly fading away. 



This is the first time we see our character, this is because its the first time he can really reflect on  the death of his best friend, Mark Hitching. This is when de decides to let go of his past.





















This picture shows that we took into consideration about mise en scene, and the positioning of the titles. This shot also shows that we filmed this on a dull day, we had done this because it connotes sadness.

We used transitions to smooth out each shot, this was because some of them seemed to drag on and bore the audience as the editing was slow paced. As seen here, we added a transition to help move the leaflet along the river.

Final Film

Rough Cut Three

This is my rough cut three. I have shown this to my target market and, they said that we need to add audio, so for the final  film I will ensure that it includes audio.

Rough Cut Two

Feedback

'Nice establishing shot but it is quite slow Change the font of the titles – it Is not good You need institutional logos at the start Look at the placement of the film title – it is right on top *The shot where he walks across the screen with the lamppost in it is too long Some of your shots are much better Consider placement of other titles too – some of them are over the action Consider sound track The shot after he has thrown the leaflet away and the shot on the bridge is too far shot over to the right – it looks odd as he has just been in the centre of the frame As an opening title sequence it runs well Narrative is difficult to follow' - Miss Peacock and Mr Bluck -

 

Rough Cut One

Feedback

• 'You need an institutional logo - at least one at the start
• You need at least another 30 seconds of footage
• The notebook on the bench is not great
• Your titles are not in the correct order - look at your research for this
• The voice over is not good - there are gaps in it - will you add in non diegetic music?
• The Film Title font and lavishness is bad - does not fit in with the genre
• Some of the shots are out of focus and need to be filmed again
• The narrative doesn't make sense - does he love him? who is it? I thought it was meant to be a gangster film - it feels like a love story at the moment.'
