Website survey changes The changes we made on our website from the feedback we got were that we changed some of the photos on the gallery as Emily did not like them of here face and we removed one of the menu buttons as to decluster the website and make it more minimal and pleasing to the eye and we added a take a tour button which shows more interactive content on a separate page which we thought would give the viewer a interesting experience on the panorama . 

5th March Update  James Cross Unfortunately because of the bad weather last week, it meant we could not film the rest of my segment and start filming Megan and Emily's segments. This means The parts of the video I will include are the main bits that have the tense buildups and the main important scenes because they will be the scenes that keep the viewer engaged and interested in the film. - What additional footage/images etc will you include and why I will get additional footage and images for the behind the scenes photos and clips so the audience gets an understanding of how the video was shot and edited.  I need to record sounds effects of Megan to overdub into the film because the sounds will increase the tension and add to atmosphere. 3. Upload any behind the scenes videos/pictures that you took during production to the relevant pages/social media sites you have set up 

The Hunted Interactive Film Website Heres the link to my site: https://thehuntedwkc.wixsite.com/mysite We chose the blue and white colours because they contrast well being not too bright and harsh but standing out from the screen. The colours look professional because for example, Facebook's website has a blue and white colour scheme and it looks very sleek and professional and this is what we want to promote and show in our film and website.   We chose to write a synopsis and place that on the homepage of the website. We did this because we think viewers would be interested in finding a little bit about the film but not giving too much details away as to leave them wanting more and wanting to watch the film.  We chose to place a video on the homepage swell that automatically plays when you first click the website link. We did this so the viewer could get a first glance at whats in the film to tease them a bit and engage them.  Our website is simple y...

Audio-Picture Relationship analysis James Cross The Film clip I have chosen is when Forrest Gump meets Jenny for the first time on the bus in the film Forrest Gump. Here is a link to the film clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvKzyYy6qvY The clip starts off with Forrest sitting on a bench, talking about how he has forgotten about things that first ever happened to him. Non diegetic sound is very present in this clip. Throughout the clip, the audience can hear a soft violin being played which really makes the audience feel the warmth and happiness felt by Forrest as he meets Jenny for the first time. The non diegetic music is happy and gets more dramatic but not overly dramatic as Jenny says “you can sit here if you want”. The non diegetic music is timed perfectly with Forrest shocked in awe and euphoria as he sees Jenny’s face for the first time. It is an iconic, important part in the film because it really sets the emotion in the scene and I think the director intended to ...

post that explains your role and what you have done towards that role Maximum 500 words My role was to create the website and make  Layout ideas and  Mock designs . Instead of making mock designs and layout ideas I asked Megan and Emily what colours and how they think we should lay it out. We chose to go with a blocky blue and white colour scheme for the website and online portrayal of the film. We created the film in Wix with most of the work being done by me. Here is the link to our website:   https://thehuntedwkc.wixsite.com/mysite I t 

House of Danger Interactive Book We chose to wait for Ricardo and Lisa first as we thought having backup would help us instead of travelling straight to the address. The next choice was to either go to the prison or to the police. We chose to go to the police and we chose that because we thought they could help. The stories are more complicated than standard stories. There is not too much choice as for most of the choices there were 2 or 3 things to choose from. These choices affect my understanding of characters and their psychology 

Editing Website Photo First I obviously imported the photo into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015 on my laptop, applied the lens corrections and profiles for the lens used, removed chromatic aberration , added a bit of contrast, sharpening, clarity, vibrance, shadows, and blacks. I decreased the highlights, whites and a little bit of vignetting to focus in on the subject being my face. Here is the before and after of the photo I edited.

Genres What genre would you classify your film as? I would classify our film as a Horror film with a sprinkling of action. Think of three other examples from the same genre IT, Carrie and Scream List all the things that they have in common- character types, story events, settings, etc. They have very similar character types for example in all of them there is a murderer and a victim. The story events are a murderer trying to murder someone. The settings of our film is inside a college and Scream and Carrie both are set inside a school etc. Most of these elements appear in our story because there is a main murder and villain and a helpless victim and its filmed in a school like Carrie and Scream. Who is the target audience for your film? How will your use of genre appeal to them?  The target audience for our film is teenagers from age 15-18 years old that like Horror films.  Our use of genre will appeal to them because the whole film is shot...

From your findings in task 1 and 2, on your blog write a minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 800 words. Write a word comparison/evaluation on how the social media platforms like twitter, instagram, facebook snapchat and youtube are used by audiences and institutions to access and deliver specific information. Use your own examples as well as examples from the film sites that you looked at in task 2. You need to discuss 2. Discuss how a film audience uses social media to access and deliver information about the film they are seeing/ discussing. Discuss how a film company uses social media to access and deliver information about the film they have produced. From Task 1 the information I got was that most people in fact 80% of all that I asked said they used You Tube the most to watch Film Trailers. This helps me a lot because it gives a clear indication as an idea of what platform to advertise the film we are creating the most. I asked people if they used Snapchat, Facebook, Ins...

Target audience What content is the target audience looking for Our target audience is people from age 14 to 18 with an age rating of 15. The target audience is men and women that like horror films.  What type of content do they tend to view and  share. They tend to view jump scares, big buildups, which actors and actresses are in the cast, what other people think of the film etc.  What questions are they asking? They are asking questions like who is in the film, what is the synopsis, where it is it being shown and what do people their age think of it and the general opinions surrounding it.  We could use the hashtag   #thehuntedif because it currently does not have any tags on Instagram to promote and share our film.  On the website for the film I think we should have a 360 panorama that has clickable buttons showing information about the film. I also think we should have a trailer that is mainly the background f...

As part of unit 7 we will work in teams to produce a group website to promote our  interactive film. We tested out using the website builders, Wix and Weebly. I personally think they are both great but both difficult to use. I would say Weebly was slightly easier to use.

Critical comparison of primary and secondary research Task 4 We had to carry out primary and secondary research in preparation and planning for our multi camera TV production. For our Primary Research we made a questionnaire and for the secondary research. We made mind maps and thought of ideas of what the production could be about and in groups each came up with a few ideas then pitched them to the class and voted on the one we liked the most. Introduce the overall assignment (to plan and produce a multi-camera TV production) and explain that you have had to undertake both primary and secondary research in preparation for your TV production. Explain what you did for task 1 (mind maps for ideas/pitch paragraphs). For each of these activities: - describe what they involved -   explain if they are primary or secondary research (or if they combined both).   - what was most challenging/enjoyable/significant about each research activity? The most challenging thing a...
