Evaluation Question 1

In what ways does you media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Evaluation Question 2

Evaluation Question 4a

Evaluation Question 4 b

Evaluation Question 5

How would you attract/ address our audience?

To complete this question i decided to create a survey and discover what the public thought about my opening title sequence, i wondered if it attracted them and whether they'd watch in in the cinema.
creating a survey was easy, and since its anonymous, its a great way of getting honest answer,so i know what people truly think and where to improve for next time.

From my results i found out that 3/4 people surveyed would watch my sequence if it became a film. From seeing these results its clear that the majority enjoyed my media product.
So to attract an audience I'd make an exciting trailer that's similar to the opening title sequence. This is because the people that enjoyed the sequence would be influenced to watch the film in the cinema, therefore attracting an audience.

Evaluation Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Evaluation Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in progression of it to the full product?
Since the preliminary task I've learnt a lot of useful things, right up until the end of my media product.
I learnt the importance of sound in an opening sequence, getting the right sound or music can really make a media product, no matter what it is. When the sound doesn't fit it changes the mood and general tone and can challenge the conventions of a product. It can stop the audience from realising the genre or message you're trying to get across.From learning this about sound,  it helped me with my final film as learnt that only using non diegetic sound worked better. I was unable to experiment with diegetic sound when working on the preliminary task.
Since the preliminary task I've discovered how important credits are to a title sequence, after analysing other media products, I learnt where credits should be placed,  in what order they should be placed and how the colour,size and design of them can add to a media product, and help to stress its genre.
The media products themselves are very different. During the filming of the preliminary task I found it difficult as I had hardly any experience. I wasn't good with planning or accomplishing the idea, but because of all the editing, planning, research and filming experience I've gained since, i was able to make the opening title sequence a lot better and it turned out to be more success than the preliminary task. Meaning I've progressed well over all.

Filming day 4

On filming day four we were filming at the third location, this was inside the house. Inside the house we were planning to film the 'victim' being drugged and falling asleep. This didn't go to plan as we found ourselves running out of time, and some of the angles we wanted to get was difficult to achieve in some spaces in the house. 
However we still managed to get some good artistic footage such as close ups, that was successfully used in the opening title sequence.

Filming Day 3

On filming day three, we filmed the pub with two of the three actors. We spent a lot of time in the pub filming from different angles, but because of how dark it is inside we were unable to get all the footage we wanted. Although the lighting was difficult to get right,because of a large window directly in front of both actors we managed to get some successful shots that made the actors look silhouette like, and they can be used in the title sequence. 

To improve next time we should bring lighting with us to all the locations to make sure there aren't any problems with the scenes being too dark.

Filming Day 2

One of our actors was ill today, and unable to make it to filming, so we decided to get more artistic shots and cutaways to make sure we could make the most of the time we were given to film. During this time we were able to get permission from a local pub so we could film there the following day and create the right mise en scene for the bar/pub scene my group had planned.

Filming Day 1

The first day we filmed was very successful, we were able to film at an outside location of me walking along the road with the camera following. We were also able to get some 'arty' footage which we could later edit to improve our opening title sequence . Although the footage was clear and turned out well, if we explored other areas and filmed there, i think this part of the sequence would have been even more successful.
the location itself fit what we were going for in our opening title sequence, the dim, dark looking houses and wet roads worked well for our horror and created the right mise en scene

Font Choice

These are a few fonts we have looked at for our opening title sequence, using the website Dafont.com. we found fonts that reflect on our genre, which is horror.

we've chosen this font as most horror fonts can to be too complicated, and hard to read.The font reminds me of scratches in a wall, which relates to our horror theme as it connotes despair or struggle, which usually occurs in horrors.

This font is the more obvious horror font, as the splashes around the letters look like blood. The font reminds me of writing used for the Tv show ''Dexter''.  

This is the last font we've chosen. This particular font reminds me of paint brush strokes, this could connote to blood if it was being brushed across a wall, or messages written in blood.

Music

For a long time my group were disagreeing on the music we should use for our opening title sequence, until finally we agreed on the piece of music called 'The house on the hill'
    

We chose this music as it fits our opening title sdequence perfectly, the low to high pitch changes work well with our editing, Also sudden low to high pitch changes are usually used in horror sequences as the sound of quick change connotes fear.

Timeline

In this lesson we learnt how and when crediting appears over the course of a title sequence. Our task was to pick any films opening title sequence, and to create our own timeline, writing down every credit that appeared and the precise moment of when it appeared during the title sequence. 

The sequence i chose to analyse was 'Man of Steel'. It was 1:39 minutes long and contained 20 crediting titles.
The films credits followed the usual order which we had learnt in the lesson (least to most significance)
