Story Board For Preliminary Task.

Task 6: A blog entry that answers these three questions

1. What planning did you do for your filming task, and how did this planning aid in the filming?

We created a story board, a shooting map and a shot list, to aid in our filming. The storyboard consisted of every single shot & a drawing of what the shot would look like.

The shot list said what each individual take would be and how it would be filmed. For example a high angle panning shot.

And finally the shooting map showed where the characters will be when taking particular shots which directions they will be walking in, and where the camera will be.

What camera and editing techniques and codes did you use in your film and how do they influence the audience’s understanding of the film?

In our film we took lots of different types of shots, such as;-
- still shots tracking shots, jump cuts, point of view shots, panning shots over shoulder, wide angle shots, long shots, high angle shot and finally a zooming shot.

When we were editing our film we made certain pieces of the film in slow motion, we placed a soundtrack from the kill bill movie, we inserted titles and transitions so the film ran smoothly. We also edited the volume of certain bits so you could/ couldn’t hear bits we did/ didn’t want the viewers hearing.


How did you use new technologies in your construction, planning and evaluation.


I used lots of new technologies in the process of creating this filming task, such as the digital camcorder and its stand, the programme ‘adobe premiere elements’ came in very useful when we editing our film and finishing it off, with this programme we created a great feel to our film with a great sound track transitions and effects such as slow motion.

Overall I think I preformed very well in this task and I have picked up a few useful skills to carry on to when we start our thriller films and future projects. Such as stable camera style and when using, ‘Adobe Premiere Elements’ I am now fairly confident that I can complete a task like this fairly quickly and efficiently.

Cosmetics Advert

My target Audience is mainly the women society and women who need to believe in themselves, and need to think ‘I know I can’ and so when people purchase this perfume they will feel more confident in the world and believe that they can achieve anything. Or at least make them more confidant.

The advert could be shown as posters and in magazines. As it is very eye catching and there is enough information, encase they are interested hat they can go and find out more about the product and will be able to find it in a cosmetics shop.

The Advert is seen in a female perspective as, the main colour pallet is shades of pink, and the eye that dominates the advert is seen as a female eye, and the font of the advert has also got a hint of fen-minim to it.

These modern technologies and programmes have made making this advert massively easier as they simplify everything so it can be done very quickly and simply but, still with great affect.

This advert I think very clearly represents the feminine social group as it has a general feminine feel to it. As the colours and the girl eye show this well.
