I have learn't that using other films for inspiration can help you with lots of things, by studying the film you can look at what camera angles and shots to use for the best effects. We also looked at what we thought worked well and what didn't, the helped us with what to incorporate into our opening sequence. However, this cam be hard because it can be tempting to use the same ideas from a film and use it in our opening sequence. We managed to resolve this by still picking out the ideas that we really liked but we managed to change it to put our own twist on it to make it more original.
This is some of the research we've done into different camera movements and filming techniques and how to use pan and zoom in my movie. This has helped us to see what looks good and how we can use it in our opening sequence. Its also helped us be more creative as we will use a wider range of different camera angles and shots to make it more interesting for our target audience.
We haven't used this sound because we felt that it didn't fit in with our story line and genre as well as it could do. Its a good sound effect overall but does not fit with out genre and sub-genre.
We decided that this wolf howl id the most realistic wolf howl we could find. We came across may computerised wolf howls that sounded awful and would have made our opening sequence sound cheap and not professional.
We liked the concept of this sound but didn't use it as we had no where that this sound fitted.
Both of these walking effects we liked and they sounded realistic but we found that the pace of the steps were too close together for us to use it in our opening sequence as our main character is walking fairly slowly.
This breathing man effect we did use, we used this because it sounded real and it fitted in perfectly with our character in times of panic and anxiousness.
We have also decided that we're going to use garageband also to create some music, we feel that this will able us to create a specific sound that will fit perfectly with our genre, sub genre and story line. We also fell that we would be able in incorporate electronic sound effects which we wouldn't be able to achieve with instruments that had been recorded.
What I Have Learn't:
This has helped because we were able to look at different types of sound effects that we may need for our opening sequence and see where it would fit in and what works well with our idea. It has also aloud us to explore what the possibilities there could be for sound effects in our opening sequence.
From this task I've learned how to write a script and how to lay it out with the different characters and where to put the stage directions.I also learned how to draw a storyboard. We did have a set back at first with the storyboard as we did half of it and then that piece of paper went missing so we had to start from scratch.
Our film will target a range of people, from looking at the audience profile table we can see that our target audience will be ranging from B to E , this is good because we've been able to target a large area of different audiences which means that when we would sell it on the market its more likely to be successful. However, it means that we'll have to relate to more to a wider range of classes/ audeince types.
What I Learnt:
From this task I have learnt what the difference between a primary and secondary audience is and how this affects the planning of the film. I have also learnt about how social classes can affect who views your film and how it can also affect the planning of the film.
