What kind of media institution might distribute your media

product and why?

Pre production

For my prelim I hardly did any planning as we had a short amount of time to make it. For the prelim we used the script and a shot type worksheet to help produce it, this made it very hard for us as we were un aware of what a good scene may look like or what need to be included.

However, when planning our real production we used many ways of planning this included planning mise en scene, story boards, shot types, sound and storyline. Having all of this made making our production much more easier to film as we had an idea of what it might look like.

This has helped improve our production as we have a better understanding of the story line and different ways of using media techniques to help attract appeal and represent the audience.

Camera skills

In my prelim my shots had lots of head space on top of the characters this made the background stand out more than the scene that was actually happening which may cause the audience to focus more on the background as a significant moment rather than the scene that I was shooting.However in my final production there was very limited space above the characters heads making them the main focus on the scene. The scene was then more appealing and the audience and both the my group had a clearer idea of what we was suppose to be watching and could follow the sequence better.From this I have learnt that camera angles and positions are important through out the production as it makes it clear what the camera is focusing on. We improved this in our final production as we made limited to no space within the scenes to show what was going on.

Mise en scene

Both my prelim and final production had good choice of setting, in my prelim we used a room that looked much like a busy office this helped identify where the scene was set. However in my final production we used many different locations within, this help the story line move on. The choice of using many locations helped show what kind of genre it may be and who it may appeal to.

This has developed as seeing my final cut compared to my prelim it made me as an audience more aware of what the story is about and the main places it is set. It has made my production more interesting as well as you can look forward to seeing the different events that happen were as in the prelim you could only imagine everything happening in that room.

Props

Big jacket

• In my prelim I used very limited props as we only had a limited time to produce it this made it very boring and didn’t really help represent the characters well. Were as in my final production I use loads of props including clothing and different items used to help show the different roles of the characters and bring the production to life.

I have learnt that using props developed my production as a whole it helped bring it to life. It creates and an initial idea for the audience. Were as the mood of my prelim wasn’t very affective the props created a mood and enhanced a sense of emotion for the person watching it.

This rule was used in our prelim when having a conversation and also used in our final production we thought it was very important to stick to this rule so that it is easy to understand a conversation that is going on. This was more clearer in our final production as we used many different shots such as medium close ups and long shots within the conversation to represent status and to show significant things like the watch being stolen. This made the conversation more interesting and flow more we could then see the conversation from both perspectives were as in the prelim we used a very limited shot which made the conversation feel like it was dragging on.

Match cutting

Matching from picture 1 to picture 2

1. 2.

In my prelim we used no watching cutting as we did not change scenes and only used one location.

However in my final production we used a match cut to show contrast between the two characters. This helped develop my final production as it help show contrast between the two lives of the characters. This then showed binary opposition helping the audience understand who the rivals and who the victim was.

Teamwork

Through out the preliminary it was much more easier getting along as a group to carry out the task of making it. Many decisions were more based on the script and what we were told to do. This made it very thoughtless and had a lack of imagination. However with our final production, team work was one of the key things we needed to make the production come together smoothly. Everything we decided was as a team even if one person thought of it we all came to a decision together. We all took turns doing parts of the filming, acting and editing. This made a big impact as if decision making was one person based it may not of had the good ideas that it did. Using each others imagination brought it more life and help get an idea of what different people from out target audience may life. Although we did carry out some of the tasks by our selves this includes, ensuring our blogs were up to date and having the responsibility to bring and take the camera out and bring it back safely. Being independent helped me as an individual get a better understanding of the different aspects and see whats going well and what needs to improve in my own perspective.
