Final Poster



• Upon reflection we decided that the film is a 12A because looking at the BBFC criteria on 15 rated film, suggest that our film does not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour, also there is no promoted or encouraged drug misuse. In addition in our film we have very little dangerous behaviour for example strangling. 
• Hence rating the film 12A is a effective method because we have a wider range of audience that we can target our film.

Q.2 How effective is the combination of the main product and ancillary products?

How effective is the combination of the main product and ancillary products?

By Shaban Jahan

The three products which we have created are directly interconnected. The poster we have made would be used to correspond visually about what the film has to offer. The poster can be used as part of the advertisement of our film if we were able to hit the big screen.

The poster is made up of digital images which have been edited through software called Adobe Photoshop.  In the poster both sides of the main character’s personality and the screen shot of the wife getting strangled have been used together to show the story through the images. The colours used in our poster have been decisively used in order to make that essential link with the story line also the character within it. Hence together the colours have been used to create a certain mood, which in our film it is always tensed. The poster being a dark colour and the little hint of red connotes the elements of the mind, this is because dark colours for example the colour black can represents a psychological mind and the colour red represents danger. Therefore this implies that the story is supposed to be a disturbing and upsetting film which relates to our genre, which is a psychological thriller. This helps the audience to associate these factors together to help understand what is happening in the film. We decided that the title of the poster would be in red, with bold writing and the title in a big font. We also decided that we will have the meaning of the title in the poster so that the audience don’t get confused. This is because our title is in Latin therefore to make sure that the audience understand what our film is about we had to add the meaning of the title, to make sure that we don’t lead the audience into something mystified. In addition adding the Latin title in the radio trailer; this creates the link between the two productions.

 What makes our poster to be effective and helps reel in our audience is by having the shot of the wife being strangled in the middle of the poster between the main character’s two different personalities. The reason why we decided to put that particular shot in the poster, is because it leads the audience into thinking that the wife is danger and her husband is going save her, however when the audience watch the film the hidden truth of the wife getting strangled is revealed to the audience. Hence this would create a shock for the audience because the poster tells the audience a different view of how the film might be.    

       

When recording our radio trailer we used the Digital Editing Suite. The Digital Editing Suite allowed us to use Logic Pro and a microphone to create our radio trailer. In order to find the right sound tracks for our radio trailer we used free download music from the Internet. These were music such as tensed music, for example we used music from Peter John Ross. We also had a voice over that engages the audience in to the film for example at the end of the radio trailer the voice over says “Ignis Fatuus” “coming to a cinema near you”. Therefore having the voice over adds to the excitement which the mood in the voice is trying create. The ways in which I think the radio trailer is effective is by having the right type of music or sound effects such as running footsteps and heavy breathing, to create an atmosphere for the audience, for example creating the  right atmosphere for the film would mean that the audience can absorb and understand the film. In addition I also think that radio trailer is effective when you know your audience and if you have a voice over that grabs the audience attention when they hear the radio trailer.

Lastly I would argue that the production of the poster and radio trailer are effective, because they support each other and the film itself. Both the poster and the radio trailer have the proficiency to speak to large number of audience, for example radio trailer would generate audience from listening to the radio and the poster would generate audience from a large scale, due to fact that the poster can be put outside in the eyes of the public. Overall both these ancillary texts have the potential to be equally effective and also bring in profit to the film; this is because both the poster and radio trailer have a strong connection with all the media products.

Risk Assessment

This is the risk assessment form for my other team members.
the risk assessment form was designed and produced my me.

My Risk Assessment

This is the risk assessment for my part of the film location

Location Contract

This is the location contract for my part of the film. I choose the Harley Grove Office because I wanted an office that is big and that has a lot of space. hence using the Harley Grove Office as the location of work place, this makes our film relate to the storyline and it gives the audience a visual image of the work place that I wanted the audience to see.

Actors Contract

This is the contract for the actors. This signifies that the actors are agreeing to the terms and conditions that we require from the contract during filming. In addition this also signifies that we as the producers, directors agree to meet up the terms and conditions required from us.

Audio List

Scene 1 > running water (splashes)

Scene 2 > foot steps and music ( light dramatic music) = I choose this type of
because I wanted the audience to feel the atmosphere of danger that is going to come later in the film. In addition the foot steps give the music edge feeling of danger due to the fact that many psychological thriller type of movies use foot steps sound to give the audience the atmosphere of danger.

Scene 3 > music (sad music) = I choose a sad music because I wanted to express to the audience that the husband or the male character in my part of the film is feeling a sad moment because he is confused and he doesn't know what is going on his life.

Scene 4 > music (sad music) = I choose a sad music because I wanted the audience to feel the confusion and unease feeling that the male character has in this part of the scene. this is because the male character is thinking deep and his in his own little world and therefore I wanted so the audience to understand the male characters emotions.

Scene 5 > music ( sad music) = I choose to have sad music in the work place scene because it reflects the mood and the tension that the male character is feeling when he sitting down and thinking about his wife. In addition I wanted the audience to feel that there is something wrong with the husband and wife relationship due to the husbands expression's shown to the audience, which contributes to the theme of music and also I wanted to make the audience feel sorry or worried about the wife character.  

Scene 6 > music ( sad music) = I choose to have the sad music end in this part of the film because it shows the different sides of the male character, his side at home and his professional self at work. I wanted the audience to see that there is two sides to the male character and therefore I wanted the audience to connect that the male character could be psychological ill.

Scene 7 > telephone ringing

Scene 8 > the male character speaking

Scene 9 > music (very dramatic music) = I choose to have very dramatic music here because I want to shock that audience and bring them more into to the film.

Scene 10 > clock sound ( tick tock)

Scene 11 > music ( built up music) = I choose to have built up music because I want to excite the audience before going into the ending scene. In addition the built music creates the atmosphere of danger, horror and tension.

Scene 12 > music ( built up music) = I choose to have built up music for the ending of the middle part of the film because it built up to the very tensed ending which would shock the audience eyes.

Props List

The Prop List has helped me because I can organise the props in order also I would know what props we used during filming and what props we did not use during filming.
In addition the props list helps us because after we finish filming the film, we know what props we need to give back and who to give back to. therefore having the props list has made our filming be effective.

Trinkets Producation Meeting

Production TimeTable

The Schedule helped me and my team members because we had everything organised due to the schedule telling us what has to be done before our next meetings. 
In addition this also shows what we discussed in the meeting and what we have to do before our next meeting. 
For example I had the responsibility of doing the forms for the risk assessment before our next meeting due to the fact that our next meeting would be discussing the right location for our film and then doing the risk assessment.

My Animatic

This section of the story and the animatic story was made by me.


I used I Movie to make my animatic story. how I made the animatic story, first I drew the pictures on a story board this included all the scene's from the middle part of the film. then I took the pictures of each scene's of the middle part of the film using my mobile phone, after that I bluetooth the pictures on the mac computer. then In I Movie I imported the pictures into I Movie and then I put the pictures in order according to the scenes. finally I imported and added the music and sound clips the I  have collected from the Internet ( download freely) in to my animatic story. lastly I used my creative ideas to make the animatic story reflect the idea of what we might film.       

My Storyboard

This my Storyboard that I produced for my part of the film 

some of the decision I made show the audience the main character's two side.

hence the loving husband side and the psychological side. 

the storyboard also shows my creativity on how i would engage my audience in to the film.

Some Technical Decision I Made

Shots
Mirror Shot: I choose the mirror shot because I wanted the audience to feel the emotions and thoughts that the character might be thinking about, therefore I wanted the audience to relate to the characters emotions and thoughts and feel the confusion that the character in the film is feeling. In addition the mirror shot is also foreshadowing the ending scene of the film. Hence this makes the mirror shot effective because the audience can relate back to the scene.
Panning Shot: I selected the panning shot to get the audience to realise hat the women might be in danger. In addition the panning shot signifies tension, which could lead to dramatic scene. Hence the use of panning shot was to get the audience to focus on the sounds that is used in that particular scene so that the audience can come up with their own imagines of the next part of the scene.

sounds
Sound Effects (water) and Tension Music: I picked out water sound effects and tension music because I wanted to get the audience into the calm atmosphere but with a little tension in the air. therefore the water sound effects and tension music make a combination of the calming sea and the tension of a horror sound, hence I wanted the audience to relate to the character's feelings and it also shows that audience the mixed or unbalanced environment that the character’s is in.


Transitions
Fade in Transition: I decided on Fade In transition because I wanted the scene's to flow smoothly and effectively into each different scene parts. The transition Fade In gives the audience the affect of easy going and relaxed atmosphere. In addition it raises awareness of the audience knowing that they are slowly moving swiftly onto the next part of the film.

Pace
Slow Pace:I decided to make my part of the film slow pace because my part of the film is the middle and therefore it builds up the tension leading the dramatic ending of the film. In addition the slow pace gives the audience the right atmosphere of understanding the characters confusion and understanding the story so that in the end the audience can ask question about the film. Hence I wanted the audience to feel confused or puzzled about the ending of the film.

Audience Research

• Looking at this question and the answers we received we notice majority of the audience would prefer if the film ended with a cliff-hanger, leaving them on edge and wonder what happened next. This information can help us to make our film original and leaving the audience satisfied.
• This would also show that we have used our audience research well because we are reflecting on what the audience want to see in a psychological drama

Audience Research

• Looking at this question we can see that the audience think its important for them to see real life situations, family relationships and relationships between characters, where they can relate to the characters. These answers show that these audience are preferred readers, who like to connect to the text and characters

Audience Research



• This question was asked in order to help us come up with a strong opening for our film, we received many interesting comments for example:
• ‘A question to the audience’ – this shows the audience want the film to start with a mystery making it more exciting.
• ‘The music’ – the sound can determine what kind of genre the film is, however it can also break some conventions and make the film more exciting. E.g. slow music on a fast scene.
• ‘if its an interesting opening line’ – dialogue is very important in a film, by having an interesting opening line it can draw the audiences attention and keep them engaged for the rest of the film
• These answers can help us to create the beginning of the film around the audiences opinion and ideas in order for them to stay engaged.

Audience Research

• Looking at the answers from this question we can see that majority of the audience preferred comedy films. The least popular genre is Fantasy/Sci-Fi.
• I decided to go against that in order to shock them and present a new genre and storyline allowing them to experience a wider range of genres. most of the people who answered these questions were female, however our film is aimed at both genders and so we decided to do something different that the audience are not familiar with in order to shock and present a new genre and story line allowing them to experience a wider range of genres and drama films.

The Importance of Production Meetings

The production meetings have helped me because i have a understanding on where all the production is going and what needs to done by the deadline. In addition it has made me be aware of how working as a team can keep the production going on and it also takes a lot of pressure of one person doing everything, where's working as a team the work load is disturbed to everyone in the group.
lastly in the film industry, they benefit from production meetings because they would know if they are going over there budget and they would also know if the film is going to make a profit, this is because film industry make films for profit.
