- 1. Evaluation Of On The RunSarah-Jane Creek
2. The Viewing This is the viewing of the run, I had Gracia and
Ashley, they met heage of the target audience we had and have
personally reallywanted to see out opening sequence. They both
seemed to enjoy it they were laughing and smiling atcertain bits
that we had hoped them to when creating our comedy. I played the
clip from the beginning and faced the camera towardsthem to that I
could see their reactions and facial expressions tothe opening
sequence. To view the viewing of On The
Run.https://vimeo.com/62932149 3. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or challenge forms andconventions of real
media products?The conventions of comedy tend to involve the sort
ofstuff that would make a person laugh, this could involveslapstick
comedy, silent films and others just throughthe use of music and
sound effects.Our opening sequence uses these to add the
comediceffect. The music is more dramatic than needed, wehave
record stopping as one of the characters trip andpeople being
thrown about by others.It is a regular occurrence in certain action
movies forsomeone to rob a bank, yet through this we have addedour
own comedic twist to it, we have challenged theidea of action films
by adding comedy to make it seem alot less serious.We have
challenged what you would initially see ofmiddle aged men robbing a
bank and have replacedthem with teenage boys, despite this being
the cause ofthe actors that we used to play them it showsuniqueness
of people robbing a bank that you wouldntexpect to. By combining
action and comedy we see avulnerable side to the boys, that you
would see if theyhad done something wrong in another setting but
herewe see it as they are in a rushed panic to get away fromthe
police.Some things so serious as robbing a bank can be seen asquite
a big and possibly not used factor in comedyfilms, so we have
challenged this and applied therobbing of the bank to be the main
element of this film. 4. How does your media product represent
particular social groups? I asked Garcia and Ashleythe question of
whatthey thought about wehave presented aparticular socialgroup,
they looked atteenagers and how wehave stereotyped thembut in a
different andunexpected way. Bymaking them rob andsteal it suits
with thestereotype thatteenagers tend to behooligans and
breakrules, which is what wehave used in our openingsequence. 5.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product
andwhy? The sort of media institution that I would seedistribute my
film would be SKY they work inproducing films that cover a range of
differentgenres and seeing as our film combines the twogenres
together it is perfect for the company.they show films in High
definition which i believewill really capture the true style of
ourfilm, showing everything in detail. Sky moviesalso works i
showing films that have come out afew months ago in premieres,
unlike otherchannel and institutions our film will be shown inthe
same year its filmed instead of a few yearslater. 6. Who would be
the audience for your media product? According to the questionnaire
that I carriedout, the most people that viewed it wereteenagers
between 11 and 20, which we see asbeing the most appropriate age
for our film OnThe Run, It contains action, comedy andadventure
which were shown as the mostpopular genres from my questionnaire.
The age Ibelieve suits because the audience andcharacters are
roughly the same age, so theyhave the ability to relate to the
characters andthe sort of things they have to go through. 7. How
did you attract/address your audience? I attracted my audience
bymaking our film look and seeminteresting, making them wantto
watch, who wouldnt wannasee how three teenage boysmanage to rob a
bank? We included comedy which wasthe most popular genre in
thequestionnaire and this wasbacked up in the viewing of itwhen the
audience watchingwere laughing at the parts thatwe wanted them to.
I asked Ashley and Gracia whatthey personally thought of theopening
sequence and this is theresult they came out with. 8. What have you
learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this
product? The different technology that I used when creating On The
Run helpedwith preparing and processing the production. I used
these elements tocreate the Opening sequence: Final cut pro Vimeo
Blogs Cameras Ipads 9. Final cut pro- Final cut pro was used to
upload and edit outvide, through the use of different media,
transitions andconversions, we were able to create our Opening
sequence.I learnt from this that editing and creating a video take
timeand effort and is a lot harder than i though it would be.
itchallenged us to use new things and create a moreeffective piece.
Vimeo- We used Vimeo to upload our cuts and final videoto, we were
able to add descriptions, tags and any otherinformation about the
videos, so that people knew aboutwhat they were watching. The video
wouldnt upload toVimeo at some points because it wasnt in the right
formatso we had to change it so that it would work. It was a
usefulplace to store all of our cuts and it gave people
theopportunity to view our work and we can view theres toand give
feedback. 10. Blogs- by blogging we were able to keep up to date
with all that washappening with our opening sequence. We could
update them withanything new thats happened and areas that created
our openingsequence and have it all in one place to access easily.
It is useful keepingour work somewhere where it can be viewed,
observed and checked andif anything is wrong or anything changes we
have the ability to fix itquickly and effectively. Cameras- through
the use of cameras we were able to take pictures andrecord our
opening sequence. I learnt and figured out that it takes time
toprepare the camera for filming and that there are loads of
settings andprecautions that need to be taken in order to be ready
to film. Ipads- We used Ipads to look at how we can do things on
Final cut pro andhow we can edited certain areas that we wanted to
edited. It was a usefulpiece of technology to use, because we didnt
need to ask for help and wecould instead look at the area we wanted
on the Ipad, watch a video thatcovers and know what to do with the
ability to get that help over and overagain. Ipads are a useful
piece of technology they are easily accessible andheld all the
information that we needed. 11. Looking back at your preliminary
task, what do you feelyou have learnt in the progression from it to
the full product? When looking back at our preliminary task
compared totask we have just created, you can see a big
changebetween the two. For example we used two differentediting
tools, we used IMovie for the preliminary task andfinal cut pro for
the opening sequence. We faced morechallenges with the final task
and we had higherexpectations for it, so we needed to make sure
that itsuited the standards we needed with how it looked andhow
made it look. I believe the difference has helped meprogress in a
positive way, this opening sequence haschallenged my abilities in
media and I have definitely learnta lot more from starting it and
from this I know what I cando and what I can use for any future
productions.
