What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this...
We learned about several technologies from constructing this product. The Canon EOS 600D camera allowed us to record in 1080p HD and adjust settings like ISO to achieve different lighting effects. A tripod helped keep the camera steady during shots. LED lights could be dimmed to precisely control lighting. Adobe Premiere Pro editing software enabled cutting footage, adding titles, and editing sound.
Question 7
In their preliminary work, the filmmakers only used over-the-shoulder and long shots without considering lighting, costumes, or settings. However, in their final film, they implemented a variety of shots including close-ups and point-of-view shots while also improving the mise-en-scene, pacing, and sound design. They made edits to improve continuity and keep the audience engaged.
Risk assessment
The document outlines potential hazards during a film shoot and safety measures to prevent injuries and equipment damage. It lists tripping over objects, wires, or tripods as risks and recommends checking the shooting area beforehand, being careful of equipment, and keeping wires and tripods out of the way to avoid injuries or damaged cameras. Safety is a priority during filming.
Analysis of previous students work
This document analyzes and provides feedback on previous student film projects. For Hannah and Megan's project, the mise en scene, plot, and use of lighting and props were well done, but more varied shots could have been used. For Louise's project, some shots created suspense while others were confusing. The setting and tunnel shots could have been improved. For Marcus and Luke's project, the location, costumes, and music fit well, but the lighting and setting for the killing scene were not realistic. For Ben's project, the music, costumes, setting, and camera work were good, but the camera could have been steadier, props more realistic, and lighting adjusted for the last scene.
Editing software
Premier Pro was chosen to edit the film opening because of its high quality editing tools that can help create effects like flashbacks and freeze-frames needed for the opening. Its tools will also help edit the opening for continuity and allow adding titles and music.
Album task
Album covers for independent artists often have a distinct style compared to major label releases. Indie album art frequently features more minimalist, abstract, or homemade designs that help set the artistic vision and tone for the music inside. These covers strive to capture an independent spirit through unique visuals that stand out from the polished photography seen on many mainstream albums.
Lip sync task!
The group used a variety of shot types and camera techniques in their music video, including long shots, close ups, and tracking shots. They attempted focus pulls and rule of thirds framing, which drew the viewer's eye to the performer. The video used different locations to keep it interesting. Symmetry and negative space were utilized to focus attention on the performer.
Media in the online age revision
The document discusses theories of participatory culture, the long tail effect, and crowd-sourcing in media in the online age. It provides examples of how YouTube allows everyone to create and share videos, how niche media products can collectively earn as much as blockbusters online, and how people get free support for ideas by putting them on the internet. The document also discusses how global media companies have become dominant online players that spread Western culture, while individual media producers now create and stream content online as "prosumers."

Question 2 evaluation
The document discusses how men are represented in a film through various shots and techniques. Traditionally, men are shown as powerful and in control through the use of low angle shots of the boss character putting people in danger. Modern representations include high angle shots of a man in a car looking powerless on the phone, and establishing shots of another character running away in fear. Both traditional and modern portrayals of men are shown through the different cinematic techniques used.
Evaluation Question 6
The filmmakers learned about various camera, lighting, and editing technologies through creating their opening film sequence. They used a Canon EOS 600D camera, which they could adjust the ISO and focus on manually for different scenes. A tripod allowed them to control the camera height and movements. LED lights were used for specific scenes to focus light in a way that created mystery. Adobe Premiere Pro editing software made it possible to cleanly cut and organize footage into a cohesive opening sequence, including adding titles.
Media question
The film production process includes production, distribution and exhibition, which both large companies like Warner Brothers and small independent companies like Vertigo Films follow. Vertigo Films successfully distributed and produced films like "London to Brighton" and "Monsters" in the UK with the help of new technologies. Now, small companies with small budgets can produce and distribute films that audiences can also produce and share on their own using modern technologies like phones, social media, and video-sharing sites, allowing anyone to make and share films with new technology.
Analysis of previous students work
This document analyzes and provides feedback on previous students' work, including Aiden and Joel's use of title, props, and editing but needing better camera shots and quality; Marcus and Luke's effective camera shots and costumes but ineffective sound; and Hannah and Megan's tension-building lighting and props but too many close-ups, shaky shots, and unsuitable music.
Research in to the relevant gangster genre
The document discusses conventions used in openings for crime thriller films. It notes that close-up and mid shots are used to build tension by showing a character's emotions. Extreme long shots establish the setting while point-of-view shots make the audience feel like they are in the scene. Common props include weapons and the settings are abandoned or non-crowded places. Low level lighting increases tension. Non-diegetic music starts slow and builds tension along with shots, settings and lighting. The document concludes the author learned how to engage audiences using these techniques.
