Evaluation Question 6 - Charlie

Q6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

This is my website that I have made via wix.com which shows all the technologies that we used in the title sequence, icluding softwares and Hardwares. The website also explains technologies used in the film opening giving examples and conclusions about how useful and creative the technologies became for us. This is a link to my website and also a screenshot of the layout...

Evaluation Question 7 -Charlie

Q7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

This is my TimeToast timeline which chronologically describes all the pre and post production stuff we done for our title sequence. The timeline also compares skills used such as transitions, filming, 180degree rule, acting, etc. in our first prelimary task from September and the skills used for our final project and how we have progressed as a group and individuals. The timeline also sums up what I have personally learnt over all the productions.

Previous sound issues

We've had quite a few sound problems when filming our title sequence. Luckily we where able to re film just the audio parts of the title sequence which allowed us to hear the dialogue better which gives the title sequence or more realistic viewing for the audience. 

Parts that where difficult to hear was when Tim was talking. It would usually go quiet towards the end of him telling his top 5 horror kills and after each one it went quiet so we misheard or couldn't hear the best parts of the action. It was also quite difficult to hear Tim's comical jokes such as 'you know smoking can kill you right?' 

Luckily we re filmed these pieces of audio in a quiet room and imposed them onto the title sequence and this has helped a lot because we are now clearly able to hear the dialogue in our title sequence!!

Final draft of The Juvenile Massacre

Here's the final draft of the opening sequence to The Juvenile Massacre. We have so many hours hard work and effort into this and the project and here is the final piece which probably won't be adjusted again. All three of us (Charlie,Jack,Tim) enjoyed the project and would love the chance to do it again and learnt lots of new things!  
 Enjoy

Feedback from Group 16 Studios

Here is some feedback we got from Group 16 Studios on our title sequence for our film, The Juvenile Massacre.
This feedback was very helpful to us and helped us to even further devlop our title sequence even at this late stage of the project.
Enjoy!

reflection on project Feedback interview - Charlie

Below is an interview that took place where the interviewer asks me several questions in order to get an idea of the reflection that the project had on me.

This allows others to understand the types of things i enjoyed, found difficult, etc. in order to get a better understanding of the project and me in the group.

I answer 6 questions from the interviewer as i give the fans and the audience understanding of the Juvenile Massacre and how i enjoyed or found the experience.

blogging feedback and 3rd health check - charlie

From my final blogging feedback from my teacher on the 3rd health check my teacher said the following...

Your blog is continuing to improve with evidence of some good research and planning along with organised use of time as you develop the production of your title sequence. As we move into the final stages, please can you complete the following in order to continue to develop your blog and aim for a mark in level 4:

- use flickr or a file sharing app to post your photos of filming rather than having them in one long list of images

-check your images / videos and any ICT apps work

- there needs to be more evidence of your group filming

- experiment with your use of ICT and make some posts the reflect on what is going well and what skills you feel you have learned from each stage

- create a WIX for your product that promotes it to your target audience - you could include interviews, a facebook page etc...

From this i can see that to improve i must use more technology and better uses of ICT and use apps of better technology to present the blogs better when we're showing pictures or videos. 

i hope i can achieve this before the end of the project. 

reflection dissapointment -Charlie

There was a scene in our title sequence that did dissapoint me. This was because as we use the dolly cam which is a like a tripod with wheels, there where pictures behind Tim who we where filming and you can see me in the reflection of those picture frames because at the time I was helping Jack move the dolly cam and holding up lines to help Tim rehearse.

This was dissapointing for me because it did show a little amateur side to our title sequence but it is barley noticable for some people unless you point it out to them.

Maybe next time we could have used a different location to avoid that or tried re-taking the scene again at a different angle. The picture where not moveable off the walls so we couldn't completely get rid of the reflections and it would have made the setting look unnatural and set up if the wall looked a plan white because most school or colleges which is where it was suppose to be set, always have pictures or posters or information on the walls.

However that wasn't the only problem we particualry faced while we filmed our title sequence.
Below is a link to a youtube video which shows you quite a lot of mess up, bloopers and re-takes whilst we filmed.

 

movies that personally influenced me when making the juvenile massacre (prezi) -Charlie

This is a prezi explaining just a few teen horror films that influenced me personally when making the juevnile massacre. This films will most likely be different to the other choices that other memebers of my group chose.

How it felt being killed in Juvenile massacre - charlie

In our title sequence 'the juvenile massacre' I played charlie Martini the local school bully who always gets his own way. I enjoyed playing this role because it allowed me to be a little different to what I would be in real life.

I also enjoyed being killed in our title sequence as I've always wanted to role play being dead and I enjoyed the use of the fake blood.

Overall I did think the roles where correctly suited to each character as I played the bully who gets killed well and Tim played the nerd who really is a killer very well also.

Below is a link of other movies which involved bullies who are killed by a weaker figure or vice versa.

Viewer reaction & interview 2 - Jack

I interviewed another person he watched the third draft of The Juvenile Massacre. He had also heard the music before watching it. He is a music student at university, so his opinion on the music was important. He also fits the basic demographic of what kind of audience we are targeting with The Juvenile Massacre.

Enjoy!
