FINAL PROJECT: FILM OPENING 

This is my final film opening project  

 

 Creative Critical Reflection 4 Digital presentation Informative video 

For my final creative critical reflection I answered the question: 

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

How How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? by Francesca Roman

With this CCR I decided to use the app Canva, to create an informative video in which an audience can read and move along with. I added some palmful music in the background and using a background form the app I wrote down the audience and distribution strategies. 

Some main points that I mentioned is that my targeted audience was of the teenage years that said they preferred horror and thrillers over any other genre. I was Abel to read my audience with the conventions of my genre being followed or not. 

I also planned my distribution strategy with previous research on how similar films have been distributed. 

With the help of social media, carnivals, and festivals my film can expand and branch out to bigger companies willing invest or re produce the film and even reach theaters. 

I can also use product placement and advertising like posters and sponsorship with companies. 

 

 Creative Critical Reflection 3 Digital presentation Animaker video

For my third creative critical reflection I decided to answer the question: 

How did your production skills develop through this project? 

I decided to answer this question through the app animaker making an animated interview to answer and explore this question

As I mentioned in the video, I mostly developed my editing skills since that was one of my main jobs in this project. In comparison to the first project I knew how to make my transitions cleaner and how to add better sound to my film. 

My skills when it came to audio and lighting also improved since I was able to adjust some of the lighting in I movie to be concise and add folly sounds to the background to make the audio clear. 

My costume skills also developed as I was able to explore the meaning behind every costume and what even the color of a shirt could mean for a character. I made sure each costume was representative of the characters persona. 

In order to make this animaker video, I created an account and made my own avatar to make it look like myself being interviewed. I voiced both characters. 

I used a Voiceover feature on the app that allowed me to record what I was saying and make the mouths of the characters move in the same way. I also used the different poses and backgrounds the app had to make the avatars move as well and making the background look like a professional interview. I used the text boxes from the app to add the text.
