Facebook Feedback

This is a showing feedback from people on facebook and this is what Shehabur did.

Although Shehabur did this facebook audience feedback, I did ask some people if they would watch Seized and so they did. The audience feedback that they gave me was quite positive such as, some people said "I thought it was very good, quite creepy" and I did get some feedback that was not as positive which consisted of "I don't understand what this bit has to do with the film" and "Why has this been repeated twice". All the feedback that was given was taken into account and we did changed some of the film a little bit due to this comments which really helped.

Storyboard - Seized

This is the storyboard to "Seized" and this is showing what is happening in the film exactly. This storyboard shows what is going to be happening in the opening sequence in detail clearly and what is written next to the hand drawn images is shown clearly.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

As I have said within question six, I have learnt how to use blogger, the macs and how to upload something to the macs. I feel that I have also learnt how to use more shots effectively because when making short films for the preliminary task I wasn’t making them as good and effective as I have made the final product. When making things within the preliminary task we didn’t make good use of props whereas working on the final product we have made use of a lot of props. Also I feel that I have progressed when thinking about ideas for opening sequences because when doing the preliminary task we didn’t really have that many ideas to contribute but when making the final product it was one whole big idea from ourselves. Looking back I remember do the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot/reverse shot which I think we have used some of these within Seized.

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

I feel that I have learnt about many technologies when going through the process of creating this media product, such as; blogger, how to upload footage to the macs and how to use the macs. I have been using blogger a lot throughout this process and at first I wasn’t too sure on how to use it, such as the labelling. I got familiar with using blogger and so this became very easy to use. Uploading footage from a camera to the macs was difficult at first because I didn’t know what I was doing at all. The more I filmed when making my media product the more I would upload and now it find this very easy t

o do. The macs were not that difficult to use at first but as I went along making this media product I got to use a few new things on them and this became very easy to use.

How did you attract/address your audience?

In this opening sequence we first see the glowing of a candle which then goes into the image of a victim, someone that this killer has a fixation on. We do not see the killer and so the audience cannot relate to this killer in any way because we do not know if he is young or old. The image of the girl looks innocent, this is shown by the way she looks; she looks just like any other teenage girl. This story is showing how someone is preying on their victim and this could be out of hate or out of love and this is something that can attract the audience because they can relate to this, the audience may know a time when they have not been able to stop thinking about someone because they hate them or they love them except within this opening sequence we show that the killer is going to far with this hate or love for this girl.

This is some audience feedback

Here you will see our voiceover for Seized

This is a voiceover for our original film 'Seized' until we changed it a bit.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

I think that the audience for my media product would be directed at people over the age of 18 years because I think that people of the age and over this age are mature enough and would understand the film more whereas some of the age of 12 years would probably be quite scared and frightened and not understand what is going on, also this sort of production should not be exposed to people of the age of 12 years as this could give them ideas. The genre of the film can also apply to people of the ages of 18 years because a lot of people seem to like films that have a twist and have a scary plotline.
