Here is my project evaluation. Unfortunately, I had to simplify it to work on online hosting sites.

Field Trip final edit

Here is the final edit for our movie opening. When filming, we used one camera and a shot-gun mic which we took in turns to use. So when I was recording sound Matt was filming and when I was filming, Matt was recording sound. In the actual piece, I had to be a dead body, laying on the floor. It was quite easy to pretend to be dead, but with Tayo laying with his legs over me and kicking around, it was quite uncomfortable.

During editing, Matt and I took it in turns, with me doing editing on things like transitions, titles and sound.

Shot List

I created an initial shot list and put it on the blog. The shot list contains simple information on what features will be required in each shot of our opening. For example, camera angles, equipment and props.

Shot List

Props

In our opening, we only need two props. We need fake blood and a dummy to hang from a tree. After some discussion, we decided to use corn syrup and red food colouring to create a realistic looking blood. For creating the look of a man hanging from a tree, I suggested we use a dummy; however, Matt had another idea for how to create the look. After some discussion, we decided to use a Guy Fawkes style dummy using old clothes, stuffed with newpaper. The dummy won't have to be detailed as it will be silhoutted by the night.

Costumes

When thinking of what costumes which will use in our piece, both Matt and I contributed. I thought that Tayo should wear a lightly coloured hoody with a pair of jeans. He should also wear lightly coloured shoes. We think he should wear lightly coloured clothing because our opening is going to be set at night and Tayo should be quite clearly visible.

Casting and Auditions

Both Matt and I found the auditionees and auditioned them, however we made different contributions before and after auditioning. I made the blog post and created the character profile for the sort of person we wanted to play the role. In the blog post, I wrote about our chosen actor and why. The character pofile is about the desired traits of the person we want to act in our film and what they will have to wear etc.

Similar Media Works

To research similiar media works, we created a powerpoint, which we took in turns to create slides for. To indicate which slides we made, we put our names in the bottom right corner of the slides we made. I made half of the slides and matt made the other half.

By creating this powerpoint, we have found out important factors of horror, and have gained an insite into the target audiences of horror. By finding these things out, we have a strong idea of what we need to include in our horror film aswell as the kind of audiences we want to target our film towards.
