52. Final Goodbyes

The end of my blog.

This is the end of our blog! I hope you have thoroughly enjoyed looking at all our planning and research blogs and I hope that you enjoy our final finished product! It has been a long, but fulfilling journey that I have enjoyed and I have learnt so much along the way. There has been some ups and downs but I have enjoyed working with my group and working through any problems. I'm very proud that we made it to the end and have produced something that we all worked hard on and is of good quality. Thank you to all of the support from teachers and fellow classmates and I hope everyone does well.

Technologies in media and especially in films is large impact since many different films need software to create a professional looking film. Titles are used in every film but need to be individually made by certain programs like motion. 

Final cut pro allows us to edit the video clips and remove the certain sections that we don't want to viewers to see and adding transitions such fade in and fade out. They also allow us to keep continuous editing throughout the film and give different editing effects such as match cut.

In conclusion the usefulness of technologies within media is major as if we didn't have these films would look much more plain and lose the attention of the audience. The technologies have allowed us to create film matching the film industry standards but also its unique individual designs.

Q7. Looking back at prelim video

Garage 32b

39. Aamir, Dazhane, Ken, Chyna from 283goswell on Vimeo.

location that was interesting and visually stunning

planning-we didnt plan very much, we had a script and pretty much got on with filming, the location wasnt really thought out, we found a room and asked to use it, we didnt research any other films or even create a storyboard. we didnt practice any shots to improve our camera skills. we didn't think about mise en scene, we just filmed in our college clothes and we didnt change our environment.

the lighting was just normal light and not very good in some shots. the lighting varied through different shots. For our editing we did actually plan our match cut shots, for example when my head was facing one way we cut it into the same way in the next scene, we also didnt break the 180 degree rule. the only sound we had was the dialogue from the characters but we only had the camera microphone. there were no titles.

for garage32b we did weeks of planning as you can see in our research & planning blogs

We planned everything from the font to the camera shots, however some things such as the location has to be changed on our first day of filming as it wasn't as busy when i visited the site compared to the filming day.
We also had a storyboard that i drew up so we had a better idea of shots to use, I also put together a schedule for us which we tried to stick to.

Overall i think Garage 32b was a HUGE improvement and I am proud of the skills I have learned throughout the last months.

comparing different shots and how camera skills have improved using SLIDESHARE:

The match cutting in our prelim was not very good but since my skills improved.

For example at 1:22 we see the girls arm down and in the next cut her arm is being brought up, this was executed well by myself in editing.

We also didn't break the 180 degree rule in Garage 32b when both characters were on screen, it was always clear which direction the characters were running toward.

Our framing improved a lot, all shots were straight and everything in the scene was clear, during production i had this in mind and i left room for error, for some scenes i cropped the image just slightly so it wouldn't affect quality.

There are also some things you wouldn't notice such as working independently, i wasn't told to do anything it was all choice & i think that is what makes the film ours. We picked up team-working skills and time management skills during this, we are in charge of our own blogs etc.

what i have personally valued from this journey:

I personally have gained experience with equipment such as high quality cameras and also with programs, i have used final cut briefly before but i am much more confident at editing now, i even gained experience on abstract shots such as the slow motion one, without weeks of planning i would have never thought of the idea. Most things were done while filming so it made editing much much easier.

I have also learnt how to blog and get my ideas across to an audience through blogging and social media

There are also some things you may not notice such as working independently, i wasn't told to do anything it was all choice & i think that is what makes the film ours. We picked up team-working skills and time management skills during this, we are in charge of our own blogs etc.

I got some feedback from some friends on whataspp, they are all part of our target audience range:

Evaluation Question 5.

Text spoken within voice note

The film title sequence of our film was to appeal to our target audience we wanted the film to look professional however we still wanted to keep it urban and chic.

The sub-genre is youth drama it is set in the London in borough called Camden.

 The film name is ‘Garage 32b’ the story line is girl who trades money for a key and it lead to a garage however we don’t know what is contain in the garage but there is a guy who chases her for the key because he knows what inside the garage. In the end we’re left on cliff-hanger not knowing what the garage is hiding.

Cinematography we used establishing shots to set the location and close-up of scenes to show facial expression or key things. There were many more shots that gave many different effects too.

The main prop was the key with a tag saying ‘garage 32b’ to show the significant of this prop we made it the prime object to try and retrieve.

The outfit for the male was hoodie/tracksuit to give him a taunting vibe and suspicious but for the girl we went for different approach with a school uniform to make her seem innocent.

Editing we went for quick transitions such as fade in and out to make it seem in a hurry to get away to give effect of running.

We wanted fast pace music to go with the running to make it feel very tense and make the audience be on their feet while the chasing occurs.

Considering rough cut we decided to re-film certain scenes as some of the actors were laughing or smiling the scene when they were supposed to be serious. Audience feedback was much more positive as they said it looked more realistic without the laughter.

So far the film has been published on website such as vimeo and youtube but also promoted through twitter while in production. We have only been able to preview the film at cinema for students within the Candi Media.

The film has also attracted other people out of target audience such as adults these are parents and teachers who have also found it entertain as they believe they have seen this sort of behavior or experienced it.
