The colour scheme of the
City of Bones website is black and brown. It is quite a dark background but the
browns in it are very bright which contrasts with the darkness around it. The
poster is symmetrically balanced. The website creates a supernatural feeling
with the circular shape in the background and the strange designs carved into
it. The indented audience is teenagers and more specifically, those who have
read the books. It is very effective as it does not explain what happens in
detail and it makes the audience want to watch the movie.
Planning Part 1
For my website, I will need the promotional
poster, the film synopsis, the movie and the character profiles for Blaire,
Nate, the parents and Serena and Dan.
I will also need images of each other the
characters.
The colour scheme for the website will be black and while as I want to create a spooky and confused feeling.
Self Evaluation and Reflection
Part One
1.Yes, I am satisfied with the final result of my website.
2.The website required less time than i originally thought. At first, I thought that the website would have taken much longer and that I would not have enough time to finish it. However my website was finished at the beginning of the lesson when it was due.
3.No, I am very happy with everything on the website. Except I would have liked to been able to change the colour of the top links that go to each page.
4.If I could start the project again, I would try harder to get the original top links to work as they didn't and I had to replace them with other links that I made.
Part Two
1.My website and poster did turn out the way that I had pictured them, although i would have liked to be able to spend more time on my poster as I believe it could have been much better.
2.The colours of the website and poster do depict the intended genre but it could have been much more clear. Our genre was hard to depict as our movie was confusing.
3.I had all of the necessary resources I needed to complete the site but I had to re-do the synopsis and character profiles as i had lost the ones that I did earlier on in the year.
4.The difficulties that I had were that the iWeb software did not work properly as the links at the top of each page did not work. My movie was also to big to put on the website so Mr Powell had to help me to decrease the size.
5.The planning made it much easier to make the website as i already knew what to do. the flowchart was especially useful because the pages became a bit confusing but the layout of the flow chart made it much easier.
6.The time management issues that I faced were that my poster was very rushed. I should have spent more time finishing my poster instead of rushing to start the website.
7.I did not take adequate reflection throughout my project. I should have done more reflecting on the process.
8.No, I have not provided enough evidence to support my work.
8. Have you provided enough evidence to
support your work? (Look back at your blogs/journals and think about whether it
looks like a whole terms worth of work);
Final Evaluation
The finished product was quite successful. Our film was well done considering the problems that our group had encountered. The filming was done in the allocated time frame although I think if we had more time we could have filmed better quality shots as some were not as good as we would have liked. I also missed out on a lot of the editing process because I was sick. However; I managed to catch up with the rest of the class quickly as the program 'Final Cut Pro' was easy to learn how to use. If I were able to do the film again I would have allocated more time to find more effective ways of filming to achieve a better mood for the film. I would have also spent more time finding music as I think I could have found better songs that fit the mood of the film better. I would have also tried to fing better effects to use while editing the film.
Mise-en-scene
In our film, we are using mise-en-scenein a number of ways. The main props that will be featured in the film are a frypan, a phone and a skateboard. The settings that we will be using are a park, a house, a road and a corner store. Our costumes are regular everyday clothes.
Reflection for Production Task
1. There were some problems that we encountered due to not having a long time for filming. We planned on filming during the holidays but we did not have the time because we were all busy. It was also quite difficult to find a time to film during the weekends because of previous commitments.
2. Some of the time management problems were that we could not film until the second last weekend before it was due as we were unable to get together. We overcame this by, when we could get together, we did all of the filming that was left and were able to film all afternoon which meant we finished it quickly.
3. Our group did not really use the provided templates. The shot list was useful to an extent however we found that we were unable to do all of the shots and we did not effectively use the props list of the shooting schedule.
4. The planning process did help as when we got around to filming we knew our idea well and understood the storyline of our film better. I think the story board and film synopsis were the most helpful as they let us see the film more clearly in our minds and let us finalise the finer points of our ideas.
5. some of the difficulties that arose from the filming process was that it was hard to find a cast. We did not have our final cast until the morning of the day we were filming as some people could not come due to illness. It was also quite awkward during the filming process as I was un sure of what to say during some of the scenes and had to do some improvisation.
6. After reviewing the footage, I believe that the entire film has turned out better than expected. However, I believe that there could be a wider range of shots in our footage. I also believe that we need to re-shoot the ending.
7. Some of the skills, techniques or tricks that I have least from the filming are that it is not necessary to film movies from the beginning. I also learnt that there are ways to film things that make the viewers understand what is happening with out having to actually film them.
