Activity 7
I have learned that in order to get a short high quality of footage it is necessary to do a large quantity of filming. For good camera work you need good quality equipment and camera man/Director who knows what he wants. For good editing you need good software and a good eye to be able to produce what is watchable, you will also need to spend alot of time editing and finalising all of you footage to come out with a good ending product.
Activity 6
1. I learned that I had to organise all of the equipment to be used well in advance and ensure that it was fit for purpose i.e. wet/dry weather. During filming the quality of sound was bad until I used a boom which improved this greatly. Background and environment was vital for continuity. We have learned how to use new software specifically for editing precision for the film to look realistic and to be of a standard where the audience would not be aware of cuts and where there was consistent continuity in the shots. Due to the improvement in sound quality with the use of the boom this was not a problem when editing and I learned that it is easier to do the audio and the video at the same time rather than separate. The technologies of Adobe Premier allowed me to select and cut my music for the background as I pleased.
Activity 5
1. I attracted my audience by including a fast running fight scene in the first 2 minutes of the Film and also with a leading man (who is hot) with a large following of female viewers. Also later on in my film i will have a woman (who is hot) come in which will also attract alot more male viewers. James Bond 007 also used this tactic and the films also got alot of viewings.
Activity 4
1. Older teens and younger men are my typical target audience because there is a large amount of violence and verbal offense also because the main characters are what the typical teen/young man aspires to be (fairly successful, big house, beautiful wife and a few children) Included in this audience would be the 20 something female who is attracted to the looks of the main character as well as the leading mans fan club base.
2. My older teen/younger man would shop in the general High Street Stores for jeans and t-shirts and designer style trainers (DC's). His musical taste would be fast, adrenaline rush, heart pumping, exciting and the current chart toppers. Favourite TV pro grammes would include action films and series i.e. Life on Mars etc. They might also include some of the older action series i.e. The Professionals. They would enjoy fast foods and a good night out with friends.
Activity 2
1. My film does not depict any social group as it is an event that could happen in all social groups.
2. With the 2 character above the similarities are role in the film and their close friendship with another character. The differences are the ages, appearance, social status although their status in earlier life is similar to that in the film and employment roles at the time of filming.

Activity 1
1. This tital was chosen to create a feeling of innuendo, through using this title a scenario has been constructed to make the viewer think about be intrested in what this can mean and also what type of film this could be as nothing in the title suggests the storyline.
2. This scene setting creates an air of ordinary British life and a sense of the location being anywhere, anytime but in the more modern era. There is also a bricked area of a modern style.
3. The sense of costume is of a younger, working class lifestyle and indicates the season in which the film is set. The implement is a random item that has not been returned to its correct storage place.
4. The camera work has been cleverly orgnised in such a way that we find nopthing out about the character holding the glass with the seception of that he is probably not a labourer due to the quality of the hand and the quality of the glass indicates that he is more likely to be in a home enviroment rather than a public one.
5. The Font and style were chosen because it stood out and was the first font to catch my intrest when i was looking. the font is softer that that of a strong/bolder more solid typeface (as shown in shot 9)
6. The story is about two lifelong friends with one betraying the other and the what the consequences and bloodshed that arise from this action.
7. I chose action for this film, this is depicted in the starting 2 minuetes with the fight scene that is shown between 2 of the mle characters. My chose of action was to give a wider scope of filming that seems to have a larger audence that romance, drama or comedy.
8. Only one of my characters is introduced verbally in the first 2 minueted of my film. This is done be the second character shouting out hs name to grab his attention. the second character is not introduced until later on in the film.
9. There are a few sets of special effects used. The first is "ghosting", This is when set of shadows behind the character appear to indicate the action being made. The second is "slow motion" which is when we have slowed down time to emphasise the fight scene and the ferocity between the two male characters.

Final Script

Inside:
Alex: How much do they pay for you to betray me?
Oscar: Enough...
Outside:
Alex: How could you do this to me? How? We have be friends all our LIVES!!!
This is a very simple script as most of the attention is on the fight scene that happens after the 2nd line from Alex.

Time Management.
Time Management.
When I was doing my time management I was over confident at how much I could do and sent myself time that I later found out that I couldn’t keep to because there was to much stuff to do in the little time set.
When I started filming I found that it would take more then a few hours, in the end it took over 8 hours to choreograph the fight scene alone.
When I started the editing I deleted over 1 hour of footage due to bad acting/re-choreographing, doing this cut my footage down to 15 min now all I need to do is cut another 13min to get the allotted time for my film start.

Corsework Ideas
View more presentations from Alex Saridis.
This is my presintation for my disition on what gunre i am picking.
My Story...
My story is about a Man who goes undercover into the Police force for the local Race Gangs and is found out and has to escape, He can only find a Quad Bike so he flees and the man hired to kill him is on a Dirt Bike and there is a dramatic chase when the Gangster comes off the quad bike and is on the ground hurt. The hired assassin is standing over the Gangster with his gun against his head and then there is a click and the assassin turns around and there is a little boy standing there with the Gangsters gun in his hand pointed to his head (the boy being the gangsters son), the assassin pushes the boy away but the boy was a lot stronger then he thought so the assassin shots the gangster ion the hart and then the boy and the assassin both shoot each other in the stomach, then there is the sound of a car and the assassin runs towards it and jumps in front of it casing his death.
Then:12 YEARS LATER.
Tye Breaker was walking down the street and a load of sports cars speed by and then he jumped into his car which was right next to him, Tye Breaker was 24 years old, 12 stone and about 5 feet 11 inches, Tye’s dad died 12 years ago and eve since he has infiltrated the police force and is in the biggest car racing gang around New York. Tye’s mission in life is to bring down the New York police force and seek revenge for his father’s death. At the moment the gang The Rifles have 4 people in the New York police force undercover collecting information for the biggest raid ever accounted for.
The Rifles are the biggest gang in New York, the Police force has killed and arrested dozens of members and now the rifles are looking for revenge and in the lead is Tye Breaker...

My Current Mark
I think i am at a high level 2 low level 3 at the momment.
1. When it comes down to "the reaserch into similar products and a potntial terget audience" In this part i think i am a low level 3 because i have shown a good understanding i what films are the same gunre and the same type of audence to try and find a film as much like mine as i could.
2. When it comes down to "the orginisation of actors, locations, costumes or props" i am about a low level 2 because i haven't yet placed any pictures on my blog about any of the lited ubove but i cannot because of wether and other implacations.
3. When it comes down to "Work n shotlists, layouts, drafting, scripting or storyboarding" i am hoping for a low level 3 but i don't know because we have not started this part of our corsework yet.
4. When it comes down to "Is there a good level of care in the presentation of the research and planing" i think i am a middiam level 3 because i have a good layout to my blog and all my research and planning which has helped raise my level.
5. When it comes down to "Time management" i thik i am a low level 3/high level 2 because i have keept upto date with all my work so i think i have done well with my time management.

Production Company
The Fast and the Furious:
The fast and the furious series were made by Universal Pictures, This company would be perfect for my film because the fast and the furious because this film is almost equally the same type of film and the one I’m am going to make.
Speed Racer:
Speed Racer has the same type of film as my one and it was produced be Warner Bros. Pictures, this company would be useful because it has the same type of story line but this company is a very typical company to stay to the younger audience instead of the type of audience that I would need.
Stormbreaker:
Stormbreaker would be a good film to mimic because it has the same type of story line as my film and it was produced by Samuelson Productions, would not be as sutibale to making my film because this company is better at making love story’s instead of Action/Thriller/Adventure like my film is.
Crank:
Crank would be a beautiful role model to my film which is made by Lakeshore Entertainment, This would give so much inspiration to my film because it has the fast race scene, action and it also has a love story witch I might add in later in the film to add some effect and will add an extra audience category because they wouldn’t watch it if it didn’t have the love scene.
Death Race:
This would be a perfect example to compare to my film because it has the hart racing danger and the hart warming love to calm you down just to get your hart racing the next scene and this film is one to keep you on the edge of your seat, this film was made by Universal Pictures, this company also made The fast and the furious which is also a big film which I have taken into consideration for using in my film.
In the end i will be using Universal Pictures!!!

Mise En Scene
Today in my media i lernt about Mise En Scene.
Mise En Scene is what you put in the frame of your clip/picture.
We looked at:
Settings & Props,
Lighting & Colour,
Positioning of Characters & Objects Within a Frame,
We also took some pictures of:
A unrule Class,
A busy Office,
A dentace watingroom,
A romantic Cafe,
Settings & Props
Setting's are very really background's to the characters' dialog. The Setting's can be used to manipulate the audence.
Props' are objects that are used in a peace of action.
Lighting&Colour
With lighting you will have a briter light on a more inportant charicter/object then anything else to make it stand out even more. By shading section's of the charcter's face/body to make the mood more mysterious. By useing a strobe effect(flashing bright and dark) it will make the audence think the character's is in a confused state.
The colour help's make the mood along with the lighting.
Positioning of Characters & Objects Within a Frame
Positioning of Characters is very inportant because if u have a character in the middle of nowere and the scene is baced in a huge mantion with million pound furncher.
When it come's down to placing object's it would not look to good to have a fireplace of a piano in the middle of a hay field or a bunddle of hay in the middle of a million pound manshon were the piano/fireplace.
This is what we learn't on the 22/09/09
