Vindictive - Evaluation Task 7

Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task, What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression  From It To The Full Product?

In our preliminary task, we tried to use a variety of shots that we knew, such as the close-up, medium and long shot. We also incorporated a match-on-action, shot-reverse-shot and stuck to the 180 degree rule. 

However, we didn't focus on maintaining a consistent lighting and the camera was wobbling quite a bit throughout the task. We learned from this and so applied our improvements onto the final task, making sure we used a variety of new shots we learned throughout the process, making the sure the colour was the same and we also used appliances such as the tripod to help keep the camera level and to reduce the wobble and quality of the shots.

Vindictive - Evaluation Task 6

What Have You Learnt About Technologies From The Process Of Constructing This Product?

Computer

When making our movie, we didn't use any specialist computers, but used standard ones as these do the job sufficiently and quickly. We used the computer to organise the many clips we had of our opening scene, and this was helpful as it allowed us to put all the shots in the right order in the final edit more of an easier job. The computer we used also allowed us to use the editing software without inconvenience . 

Camera

The camera we used was suitable for our filming and final product as it was practical and filmed in a high definition, almost equal to the those that are used in a professional environment that cost thousands. It allowed us to film all kinds of shots from close-ups to establishing shots, and the frame rate was excellent for our fast paced moments such as the fight scene. 

Tripod

The tripod we used was suited to our filming and the environment we were filming in as it could be extended to a tall height and shortened to a short height, all while maintaining a level balance for the camera to sit on. Its neck could also be adjusted to make a low-angle or high-angle shot. This made the tripod practical for all obstacles that needed to be overcome .

Editing Software

For our opening scene, we used two pieces of software - CyberLink PowerDirector and Adobe Premiere elements. We mainly used CyberLink PowerDirector for editing the majority of the opening, and was especially helpful for editing the fast-paced fight scene. It was simple and easy to use, while still giving a high quality, professional look to the final product. For the distribution credits, we used Adobe Premiere Elements to edit our animation of the chosen images. This is because this editing software was already installed on the computers we were using, making it convenient at the start to make one of the key aspects of the opening scene. It also allowed us to add nice effects that we wanted.

Vindictive - Evaluation Task 5

How Did You Attract/Address Your Audience?

In this version of the opening scene, we have annotated it to explain some key aspects of the opening scene. It shows the ways in which our film links to other action genres and how it attracts to the target audience we have focused on. The annotations also show genre conventions, the use of music, similarities with other movies and what we have identified as a unique selling point in our opening scene.

Vindictive - Evaluation Task 4

Vindictive - Who Would Be The Audience For Your Media Product

The target audience for Vindictive is primarily focused on teenagers and adults. This is because they will be able to keep up with the excitement of the film, and the opening scene shows this, and this type of audience are generally into these genre of films.

The targeted gender of our opening scene is primarily focused on males, whereas females would enjoy it as well.

The target audience would likely shop occasionally in places that sell electricals, games and movies, so this would be a good place for them to get a movie such as Vindictive. This is because the target audience is focused on teenagers and young adults and so this where they would typically shop. This relates to them because it shows that these people are very modern and the movie is a modern one, and not set anytime in the past.

The music the target audience would also listen to modern music, and so the opening scene incorporates modern action music that ties in with the story of the scene. This will make the audience relate to the scene more likely and so will improve the popularity of the film.

The target audience are likely to watch television shows that are similar to movies they are interested in, the action genre being one of them. As they are likely to watch television everyday, the action genre would have a big impact on their genre preferences, making them more likely to watch action genre more than any other genre.

Vindictive - Evaluation Task 2

Vindictive - How Does your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

In these screen shots, we have the main protagonist from Vindictive compared with two characters from other action movies; Jason Bourne from the Bourne action movie series and Royce from the action movie Predators. 

From these images, we can see the characters are quite similar as they are not very muscular, as seen with some action heroes such as Rambo, but still show an element of fighting skill and strength, and also makes them look a little more intelligent and tactical. What is also similar about these characters is their clothing, as they are wearing casual,inconspicuous clothing. This means they would not stand out in public. It also suggests they are capable of completing their missions without drawing attention to themselves. 

They also share a similar expression and personality and it shows they take their missions seriously. This is conventional of an action hero as they are not typically looked at as people who have fun and take things casually. This expresses to the audience that the mission is a long and difficult one that must not be taken lightly.  

Vindictive - Evaluation Task 3

Vindictive - What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product And Why?

In our final product, we created two production company names, CWP Films and Blue Horse Films. We came up with CWP Films by using the first letter of all of our surnames and put them together; Cottee Whitbread Powell Films. We also used a background that stood out and would grab the audiences attention with its scenery and colours, and then edited CWP Films in the foreground for the distribution credit. Another production company we created was Blue Horse Films, which we came up with when using the images that we were working with to create a production company. In the edit we turned a horse black and white to be used at the start and then made it flash into a strong blue colour, while glowing at the same time, giving a nice effect on the distribution credit. The film would have a massive contribution from both CWP Films and Blue Horse Films, and so the use of synergy would enhance the films progress.  This means that one comapny would focus on the Sound and editing, while the other would focus on the story and the filming of the movie.
