This is our Opening title sequence for a film noir. Enjoy! Evaluation to come within the next few hours, or maybe tomorrow as i will probably do final tweaking and uploading of the focus group session then!

Evaluation

I am halfway through my evaluation on Prezi, now that the editing process has neared its end, and i will hopefully be embedding it to my blog in the next day or so. These are the questions that i will be using as a framework for the final thing -
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Who would be the audience for your media product?
How did you attract/address your audience?
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

VIDEO PROJECT PRESENTATION 1 from fLIX.TV on Vimeo.

This is the video (finally!) of our first presentation of our first idea to a focus group. It speaks for itself when you watch it, and it was our very very first ideas so we have moved on a lot, taking on the advice of our peers, since this date.

Location Shots

Location from Kieron Marchese on Vimeo.

This is the video of location shots, obviously it isn't effective and is quite boring to watch but the experience and final result was exactly what we wanted to get. The first part of the video shows a walk down near the university, i mean, it was a good idea in our heads but when it came down to it it couldn't have been more wrong really. We started wandering the area with the camera, and ended up down towards Elm Hill, a place shadowed by tall buildings, numerous antique shops and vintage looking street lamps. I remember thinking that it would be fine at any time of day, due to the height of the surroundings ect. so it is decided this is where our OTS should be shot.

Final Cut Express

This is a basic screen print of me and Kieron trying to use final cut to edit our video. None of our group had used the Editing Program before and after many attempts and online tutorials (ellen and miss Humpleby sat for ages trying to watch them things!) decided that we can get much more use out of Imovie. Using Imovie is, for us, a much more familiar and less time-consuming program. We may not quite get the effects we need, but its just a case of finding alternatives which will hopefully gain as close to the same quality as possible.

Jessie's storyboard for continuity task!

This storyboard is not an effective way of getting a thorough idea across to everyone what we needed to include in our continuity task.. You can find scans of the story boards on Jessica Whites blog, we decided that for our OTS we would use a much more interactive way of presenting our ideas, in a video.

Location Shots!

Yesterday evening around 4.00pm me and Kieron took out the camera and done some very basic shots, we will upload these to vimeo over the next week and i will post our results hopefully before and after editing to show how we have thought about this. Obviously we will have to create a film noir piece through making it black and white and we will also edit the lighting to create our mysterious effect, as this is crucial when including romance in a film.
