Main Task Planning - The three different Theories

Hey,
Here is my presentation on the three theories related to the world of media. The three people i focused on were:

• Vladimir Propp
• Roland Barthes 
• Tzvetan Todorov 

I looked at their life briefly and then focused on their theories, on top of this, I looked at some real movie examples to compare to their theories but more of these can be found in my analysis of similar products.

Main Task Planning - Action plan of Term 2, Week 4

Here is my overview of what Me and Georgia aim to do this week for our Media production!

• Write about the three different theories (Todorov's narrative theory, Propps character theory and Barthes codes of narratives)
• Make a shot list
• Finish filming  
• Make an edit decision list

Main Task planning - Analysis of similar Products 3

Hello :)
Here is our final film analysis and we have finished with the film 'Divergent' released in 2014. The opening scene has been analysed and we will talk about what happens, how good the editing is and use this to help make our opening scene.

Main Task Planning - Draft of opening productuion company logo (Antenna - J+G Productions)

Here are the two drafts of our opening production company logo, these were made by our-self using stop frame animation and are only drafts at the moment. We wanted to achieve a 'hand-maid' feel with it then panning to an animated picture. These tests showed how handmaid looks and we could see what it would look like, sadly the first one has a random picture movement and doesn't look very good but does look handmaid and could be used as a wanted feature which we like. We decided to go with 'J + G Productions' as it would fit both our names and look professional. A final decision on what we will do will be made a little bit later :)

Main Task planning - StoryBoard

Here is our final storyboard for our production, Enjoy!

Main Task planning - Analysis of similar Products 2

Hi guys :)
Here is our 2nd film analysis of 'The Purge' a thriller film set in the dystopian future in the USA. Where once a year there are no laws and no emergency services. We reviewed the opening scene from Youtube and will use this to help us make our film opening.

Main task planning - Peer assess and comments

Hello :)
Here is another group reviewing our blog and its posts over the past few weeks.

These reviews were made by other people in our class which took a look my blog and told me what I do well and what I could improve upon (Constructive feedback).

From their comments I have seen that I present my post in a very imaginative way with all different ways and not relying on the same program each time. They also say that my questionnaire analysis and questions I asked people were very good and I analysed them deeply.

 

To improve upon I will talk about the different theories in media, start to film and talk about the editing and shots we will use in our film. 

Main Task Planning - Action plan of Term 2, Week 3

Here is my overview of what Me and Georgia aim to do this week for our Media production!

• Analyse two more film openings for analysis
• Finish story board
• Start to film 
• Write about the tree different theories (Todorov's narrative theory, Propps character theory and Barthes codes of narratives) - Upload by week 4

Main Task Planning - Thriller film synopsis

Here for the first time is our thriller film synopsis, please bear in mind that it is currently being changed and edited daily and that the ending is removed for the obvious plot twists we want to hide :)

Main Task Planning - Problems associated with filming a thriller film

Happy Halloween!

Today I'm going to research the problems associated with filming a thriller film !

I have decided to see what could go wrong with the selected genre I picked and now I will see the resolutions to these problems and how to maintiain a thriller ambience in the film. If I don't maintain the thriller feel, my audience will begin to loose interest in the opening and turn it off.

The plot twist was expected and not a surprise
I will use a twist in a different way compared to other thriller film's, there will not an obvious give away throughout the film which will give away what will happen. I want the audience to speculate a completely different ending to what I give through the film, possibly with a cliff hanger and no resolution. If I make sure that a completely different ending is being portrayed throughout the film and then a dramatic twist which still relates at the end. I could also possibly have two twists one in the opening and then another one with the 'hero' of the film trying to clear his name.

The Music and sounds will be clearly effects and not match the realistic touch I want
I will make sure that sound effects for example 'someone screaming' will be portrayed from a real person and preferably the same actor so the voice matches throughout. The effects will not sound placed in deliberately but sound fluent throughout the film. This leads on to the effects sounding corny and cheesy as they are not suited for that genre and make it sound terrible. I will use research from other good thrillers which have had special effect sounds added and sound realistic and true to life.

The genre I want the film to be 'thriller' is not portrayed and the audience think its a different genre
I will make sure that my film follows all general thriller conventions, which are associated with a thriller film, I will make sure that the film is filmed with a dark atmosphere and not with happy music unless suited to the scene. I will also use the close up angle for most of the filming as it portrays the typical thriller with the characters feeling scared then the audience do too. There will also be a variety of quick cuts throughout the film, with dark shadows along with mirrors and a lot of mind play with the characters. I will also blog about the general conventions of a thriller film.

Thanks for reading :)
