Evidence of Filming

These are pieces of photo evidence showing when Caleb was filming some of our scenes as my partner, Caleb and I took a picture of him whilst he was filming as proof of our filming. We were filming in a place in which the lighting was low the use of this natural lighting gave the scene a more natural feel. This was because for the scene we were shooting would be more effective with less light, Caleb also used the zoom feature on the camera. He shot this scene multiple times to make sure the scene was as we intended.

Evidence of Editing

In this image evidence of editing is presented. Text was added to highlight the cast in our production, this makes the audience aware of the actors. 

Also we edited using jump cuts to ensure that the scenes cut between each other smoothly. This makes sure that the production is not 'jumpy'. lastly the use of cutting down shots that were filmed, provide the ability to pick the best part of the shot, this allows us to use the best scenes possible in the production. We also zoomed in using the zoom tool available to use in the menu, this allow us to vary our scenes in our opening despite not having as large as a variety of  shots

We fades to black, to create suspense as the audience may not know exactly what happened but they will see the outcome              

Social Media

This is an image of the post my partner and I made for people to promote, tweet and hashtag our opening. This would help market our production and if we were trying to make a profit off of this, it could be the difference between us meeting our targets and missing them.

The way we promote our production was be using the social media platform snap chat to take pictures of parts of our opening and then caption it telling them to either be ready to for when it releases as well as the date of release and also to hashtag it and tell their friends.

Filming Technique

When filming we used a range of different techniques and angles to projected our thoughts to the audience via our choices.

For example, when the student throws a bottle at the teacher, we shoot a close up of the teacher's face , we choose to use this technique in order to allow the audience to see the each of the changes in emotion of the teacher's face. This could only be achieved by using a close up.

 In the scenes that show that the school is empty we chose angle that would show a large view as it would better school how empty the school was. We choose to shot the scenes out of focus to try and show the something isn't quite right or matters aren't as clear as would seem.
 

We then cut to a shot of a keep out sign in full focus to give a clear seen of danger in the school

Lighting Technique

In our opening we decided it would be best to use the natural lighting available to us as it would give our footage a more natural and real feel and as we had decided from the beginning we wanted our opening to have lots of realism, in order to allow for the audience to be able to connect more with the scenes.

Despite this we were able to create suspense in scenes by using the natural light in a variety of ways 

For example in the scene in which the teacher and student have their confrontation we filmed facing the light, this not only gave us an over the shoulder angle but it also blacked out the student and the killer, this meant that it could how ever slightly hide the identity of the killer, which builds suspense and makes the audience wonder who it could be. It also hide the features of the student allowing the audience to be able step in page of the student and garner empathy.

The student is then carried into a dark room, which builds tension as the audience as the know that the student is not in a good situation but they wonder what is going the happen to them with in the room. We also position the student in a way that would allow small amounts of light onto his face, we did this so that the audience could see the emotions and facial features of the student.

Chats and Messages

This is a screenshot of the messages between my partner and I in order to plan what we were going to do for our media product. As you may be able to tell we used a social media platform, Twitter, to communicate at times. This is a testament to the development of technologies particularly social media
