This is our out door location scene 2 after the office, here are one of the angles we will be shooting

the advantages of this area is that the amount of public coming and going will be less so this will allows us to shoot without any problems it will also allow us to get a high angle birds eye view shot the only problem is we must be very careful while shooting as it is from a high point another factor is the traffic passing constantly we must make sure we film at a suitable time.

here is the office location for our first scene, the benefit of this office and location is that it is inside our college so time will not be wasted in terms of travelling another is that there are no costs, usually to hire an office you have to rent it out in this case we have the opportunity to use this place for free.This is the last shot for our outdoor scene the benefit of this is that it is in alley way so it is all quiet, we will be able to perform our shootings without no trouble or delay as the location is off the main road. we have had permission from neighbours to record.

Research and Planning(Video)-the moving image work

today our task is to complete and answer the following questions

Research - what research did i carry out into similar products

Research -what research did i carry out into my target audience

Logistic planning- how well did we organise our characters

narrative planning- evaluate our story boards or scripts.

and finally evaluating my own and group management.


What research did you carry out into similar products?

The first stage of our research were looking at short film case studies,  In relation which was similar to our genre that we were initially thinking of, which in this case was thriller/action. The case studies I personally looked at were Victim – short horror film, knowing too much thriller short film and Closed doors – thriller short film. Which were all related to our ideas that we wanted to do.

I looked at these short films as my case studies in order to identify how successful in both horror and thriller the short films were, how they appealed to the audience, how the effects were used, the camera angles as well as the use of soundtracks.

Once looking at these elements consisting within the short films, we noted down how they appealed to the audience as well as the use of soundtracks building suspense.

After major discussions and meetings with our group we outlined what will fit best to suit our genre and therefore came up with a final idea.

With gaining skills from last year course , I believe it will help me towards this year’s course such as conducting research using technological presentations, Identifying camera angles for the right purpose for example,  the use of  a shaky camera to create a fast pace pulling the audience, the correct use of colour; red emphasizing  anger or control  or black  room a fear and tension.  Elements like these will help us build a creative short film; if we have a correct structure I believe our film will turn out to be very good.
