1/8


2/8

Well, a variety of conventions were used in thethriller movie FANGZ such as romance where theblack rose was used, shock horror where blood

dripped down from timothy Edwards face, (played bySarah khan) and also in and around the vase. As wellas the thrills of mysterious music and different cameraangles and the actions of the characters this

contributed to the suspense.


3/8

What we did to attract and get the audience s attention is to actually find outwhat aspects of a thriller movie people enjoy watching. Therefore we handedout a series of questionnaires to our target audience which were teenagersfrom the ages 12-18 to give us an idea of what we could include ina thriller movie.After looking at the questionnaire responses, we found out that the most

popular answers were to have a good plot, lots of emotions, and young actorsin the film. So we took on board these requests and used them in our finalidea.We also decided our movie would be certificate 12 as this allows teenagersover 12 to view our film. We set the setting in a high school class room and

the emotions that were shown through the effects, and also through theacting and style of music.


4/8

Our media product represents a teenage socialgroup because all our characters are teenagersaged 16 and 17

Also again talking about the setting which was in aschool class room, this shows evidence relating toa teenage social group .

W e researched the different types of media institutions that have successfully madethriller movies. Three media institutions that we decided to pick were Universal,W orking Title and 20 th century fox.Universal is a major film company in the US and have made many films past andpresent which we took interest in, therefore we defiantly would like Universal to

distribute our media product.The second media institution we would like to distribute our media product is W orkingTitle, this is because universal owns 67% of working titles budget and thereforeuniversal have made working title a success.Finally, another media institution that we would like to distribute our media product is20 th century fox, this is because this institution has gained a lot of publicity throughone of their films called avatar and therefore we feel our film will gain a lot of publicity.

The filming equipment we used was a CanonLEGRIA FS306 camera. This camera has agood quality picture, it is small and it makes iteasier to film shots steadily. Also this camera

takes in a memory card (SD card) which helpsus to transfer the raw footage to thecomputer.

Then we used the software Adobe premiere

pro cs5 to edit our raw footage and add otherthings such as effects.W hilst we were filming we used a Tri pod thatnot only helped us have steady shots but ithelped us get a range of high and low shotstoo.


7/8

As we had to film a preliminary task, this enabled us to gain experience with using the equipment such as the cameraand tri pod and learn how to use the equipment in a variety of effective ways which aided us with the making of ourfinal production.Another aspect of the preliminary task we learnt was about was lighting and how lighting can affect our film. W elearnt about which sorted of lighting would be appropriate depending on the genre of the film. In our a preliminarytask, we had to film a series of match-on-action where a character walked through a door and had a conversation

with another character, this did not really need a special type of lighting but we needed enough light to see thecharacter facial expression.A third aspect of the preliminary task that we learnt was about sound and how it contributed to our film. In ourpreliminary task we did not include and secondary sound but we had two characters talking and it was important thatthe characters spoke loud and clear, but in our final production we used music which built suspense and tension.

The types of camera angels that we used in the in the preliminary taskmatch-on-action but we had to follow the rule of keeping it on the 180deg line.However when we filmed are introduction we could use whatever shots we wanted to use. So the shot we usedwhere, closes-ups for example on the face, extreme closes-up for example the eyes , mid shots, panning of the classroom, and the use of long shots for example the empty classrooms.The team work between myself and Nat had grown stronger since we did the preliminary task.The technology we used throughout both the preliminary task and our media production was the camera CanonLEGRIA FS306 camera and the Adobe premiere pro cs5 on the iMac's. W e found that when we started using thetechnology for are preliminary task we were just getting use to using them. However when we started the final mediaproduction I found that we could use both the equipment and technology so much better that when we started usingthe camera we could use it with ease, and when we used Adobe premiere pro cs5 on the iMac's we could not only usit for the editing we explored the different effects for are final media production.


8/8

To bring our evaluation to a conclusion, we encountered many experiences in the wholecourse overall. W e learnt a lot about films and the production of film making from usingthe camera and tri pod to editing our film using editing software s (in our case adobepremiere pro cs5 as mentioned previously).

Although we encountered a series of problems such as, the original character to play theboy character (Timothy Edwards which should be played by Bradley Taylor) was unable toattend our filming sessions that were available to us and so therefore we had to look foranother person to fill in the role, therefore we had to use a female (Sarah khan) to play amale character. Another problem is that because we are all studying our a level at themoment all the cast were not available at certain times that were planned due toeducational issues which limited our filming time even though we had planned out specificdates for filming and meetings on our production schedule.

W hilst filming we found that we wanted to change some aspects of our original storyboardbecause when we created our final production we didn t want to make it seem like anadvert for a film so we changed some of the shots and we did not included some shotssuch as the cat scene and scene with the boy character saying sorry .

Finally, even though we came across some problems in this course, we believe that wehave done our best and we are proud of our final production.
