Evaluation Questions

Just a few questions about my project..

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I'm not too sure, but i think a minor local company may distribute it

Who would be the audience for your media product?

I feel that the audience would be more mature as the film is more about feelings and understanding. 

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

Constructing this project has taught me a lot of things to do with camerawork especially. It opened my eyes to see different and more abstract angles that would add dramatic effect to the shot.

Evaluation 1

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I think that the company who would be more than likely to distribute my film would be someone like Paramount, as they do more adult and mature films. So they would have a good eye for a film that the older audience prefer.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

I feel that the audience for my film would be a more mature audience as such as the film would be more about feelings and emotion rather than violence and sex!

9 Key Frames Of My Sequence

These 9 frames, are considered to be the most important ones in the sequence. 

-You have firstly, i have animated the college logo in AfterEffects. 

-The second box shows my very own logo. i created a slinky effect using AfterEffects, this is my production company logo as such. 

-The third screen grab i have taken from my sequence is my titles. These were created in Final Cut, including movement and static.

-Next the shot shows people walking along the street to give the effect that the city is a busy place. 

-Then i have some titles appear over the crowd, this is just showing i can use the editing stuff an drop stuff in and on top.

-Fifth shot has the girl involved in the busy city, but all alone looking sad.

-I have a couple of shots of the girls face close up, i think she shows a real good sense of the emotion she must feel. 

-End film name Alone In The Street.

Costumes weren't really necessary as the environment where i was filming had lots of people walking in there everyday clothes and thats what i needed. Even the child didn't even have to look that scruffy, just as if she were really sad.

Camera placement was essential for this sequence. I think that i got the distance and framing correct. It gives you feelings for the kid.
