Task 1 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products



This snapshot is of him doing press ups, we once again sprayed water on him to show his hard working and to show how tired he was at the time because of him doing so many press ups. We also decided to make the lighting dark here too because we wanted to make it clear to the audience the mood of the films and the storyline.



This snapshot shows a wide shot of him punch thin air with his boxing gloves on. This shows his anger he was feeling whilst working out. Once again this snapshot like all the rest of the shots of him training is in his imagination and him planning on what he was going to do to win the fight. so this snapshot is to bring out his anger.





This snapshot shows a close up of his face concentrating on the object he is about to punch, we aimed our close up to focus on his eyes because the eyes is what brings out the emotion he was feeling at the time. We used very dark lighting in this scene to show the dark storyline and the dangerous mood.



This is another snapshot of him training for his last fight. We decided to make the lighting in this snapshot, darker with only a tiny bit of light to show the mood of what was happening. We got this idea by watching "fight club". In this media product, whilst there scenes of fighting the lighting was mostly dark with a tiny bit of light to show the mood of what was going on. this lighting showed the danger, excitment and reality of what was going on within the film.

This snapshot shows him working out, training hard to get fit for the last fight. This is what is happening in his imagination, whilst he is sitting in the changing rooms wrapping bandages around his hands. In this shot we sprayed water on him to make him look like he had been training for hours, and training hard, to show his determination for his final fight.  

This is another snapshot taken to show how he is feeling and to show what he is thinking, and it is also to make clear to the audience his emotion while sitting there.

This snapshot is to show the audience what our character is thinking and that it shows that he is imagining and planning on how he is going to win the fight, so he is thinking about all the training he will do which is shown later on in our opening sequence.

We started our opening scene with these titles because it introduces the mood, the style, the genre and the storyline of our project. This title sequence shows who presents our project and it basically starts off the whole opening sequence of our film.



This snapshot shows a close up of him wrapping bangages slowly around his hands, shaking slightly to show his nerves, and to also show his determination. This snapshot is also where he is thinking about all the training he did and has to do for his fight, so his shaking hands and the speed of when he was wrapping the bandages around his hands tell us that he is thinking about all what has been going on.

EVALUATION OF THE DAY

When our shooting day came up we put up a set of brick walls and hung a punch bag up so it looked like our character was training for his big fight in the basement. This set made the area look quite dingy, and rough looking. We then started coming up with different ideas of what we wanted our actor to do. All three of us shared in the different roles of filming, the lighting, the microphone. We filmed most of our film in the Hurtwood studios, but when it came to where dan was getting ready for the fight, we filmed that in the bots changing rooms in hurtwood.

Our main character is called Dan and he boxes and fights for a living. He is around 18 years old, he fights for his stepfather who sets up fights for money. Dan's brother jack also used to fight as living, however he was killed in a fight. Later on in the opening, dan discovers the fight that killed his brother was set up by his stepfather and this fuels Dan's anger towards his stepfather. So the opening sequence we show Dan in the changing room, sitting on the bench with a voice over of him telling his story of his brother and stepfather, and we show him working out, looking stressed and angry for revenge. He is getting ready for a fight. During the voice over and him in the changing rooms, we see what is going on in his mind and, he takes us back to when he was with his brother when they were younger. We show him remembering happy memories and so this shows people his emotion at the time. The flash back is of the two boys playing in a living room of their old home when they were young boys.

The props we used is boxing gloves, boxing hand bandages, a punching bag, boxing shorts, boxing tape
We filmed our project in the hurtwood studios, and we also filmed it in the boys changing rooms to show where Dan is getting ready for the fight. Dan was wearing trackies and a plain white top in some of the shots we took of him. However we decided to have some shots with him without a top on to show he had been working out, and hot from the energy. Dan was the only cast member we had in our thriller. Apart from the odd time when you saw a trainer telling him what to do while training for the fight coming up. We only needed him in our first few minutes of the film, this is to show that the attension is focused around him.
  Here is an example of the type of place we filmed part of our film.

thriller/horror movie clips

I decided to put this trailor in because when i watched it, I thought it the idea was a grusume idea which made me feel very uncomfortable, so there message to the audience worked for me. It was meant to make people feel uncomfortable but at the same time excited to see what was going to happen next. The sound in this trailor was dramatic non-diegetic music which made it clear of the genre of the movie. There was a montage sequence throughout this trailor which gave the effect of something dangerous.

I chose this clip from the ring because I thought it was clever the way the camera focused on just the feet as she was walking up the corridoor towards the mysterious noises and towards danger. The camera also focuses on the water on the floor. and this shows how the water on the floor was not meant to be there. I also liked the way the camera focused the girls hand on the door handel hesitating to open the door. This tells the audience to be scared by building up the tension. The sound in this scene is quiet slow non diegetic music. This music builds up to something bigger which is about to happen. The very first part of this scene, the sound was just the TV crackerling noises. I found this was a good effect to get people scared because it showed us that the film was about something in that TV.
