Evaluation 2, How does my media product represent particular social groups

The character i have chosen to represent our film is the main villain (James) and the alternative character i have chosen is Stromberg (James bond villain)

Both characters have allot of similarities in multiple areas of filming production for example as you can see from the image above both characters have stern sinister faces which like James bond our film has a main antagonist villain and hero type figures throughout tour film,the characters  also both wear plain conspicuous clothing to clearly represent to the audience that they are the villains.Even though you cant hear how both characters speak they both have a sinister eastern European voice to increase the rate of stereotypes to the audience because eastern Europeans are known for being dark villains against good intentions.

However the two characters have a few differences between them,with the most obvious being the age gap between them;one being old and the other young.this means that stromberg is conventionally smarter and more wiser than James because of his experience,this can be conveyed through the different ages.Another difference would be in the clip James only has a couple of people working for him where as stromberg has a whole 50 man team working for him suggesting stromberg is more powerful and bigger than James because of his increased amount of workers compared to James.

Film Production Mark

The mark you received in moderation for the production of your film is Level 3 = 34/60.

Target: Your film titles are basic. You need to include titles throughout, actors, actresses, editor, producer and the director (in this order). Include music at the beginning - even just a double bass in the background to create tension.

Evaluation 1, analaysis of our film Viet-Con through screen grabs of edditing

Viet-Con
In screen shot 1 the image shows James and pat portrayed as the evil villain and bodyguard walking to where the main stand off will be with titles showing the audience who is who as the image is showing the backs of the characters making it hard for the audience to recognise them.our films setting is based in a dark and eerie setting in leatherhead right next to the swan centre car park,the image show James and pat walking down the ramp moving closer to the main stand off scene.the image shows James wearing a long reefer jacket to represent a traditional boss or leader and pat in a leather jacket to show the audience he is the bodyguard and worker of the pair.our camera work for this scene was also well directed because of they way we shot a mid shot of the backs of the villains to give an effect of conspicuousness towards the characters,we made this shot lighter and more dynamic as it was to dark to show the audience.

screen shot 2 Shows me,  Connor walking towards the main stand off scene with one of the two bodyguards graham walking along side him to make sure he does not escape and cause trouble,the camera shot used is very effective because it is a mid angle and shows a dynamic point of view (POV) shot of James the villain looking at the current situation.


Screenshot 3 is a mid shot that shows the two henchman (Patrick Cowley & Graham Burgess) with the main protagonist between them (Connor Moreton). This suggests that Connor has been taken to meet with James but not by choice and again shows the binary opposition between the characters. This creates more and more enigmas (which is exactly what we wanted) and keeps the audience on their toes.

Screenshot 4 is a long shot that shows the start to the chase scene with Connor sprinting away with Patrick in pursuit. This indicates the genre to the audience allowing them to know what else is to come. Our film did follow the typical conventions of an action film with a chase scene leading to a final confrontation but with a twist. The lighting of this scene worked to perfection as we adjusted it through the use of editing to highlight Connor and make him the centre of the scene, this shows that this is his moment in the film and also suggests that he is getting away easily as Patrick has been blacked out.

Screenshot 5 shows our institution. We chose universal because we believed that they suited our film best and we knew that they can make any low budget film a success because of the notoriety they have with creating top blockbuster films.For example universal have created films such as ride along, jaws,Jurassic park and Inglorious bastards which all has aspects of our film,which is good because the company can advertise and market our film to the right target audience as they know the right audience proven by there previous films created.

Screenshot 6 is a low angle shot that shows the two henchman with the main protagonist between them. We used our editing skills to highlight Connor and make him look superior to the others with the camera aimed directly at him from a low angle- this makes him look more important compared to the other characters. It also shows Connor a little closer with the two henchman a little behind him-this was to show dominance and make it look like the henchman are ready just in case Connor tries to try anything.

Screenshot 7 is a close up shot of James Hill (the main antagonist) exchanging a bit of dialogue with Connor. We first used torches from our phones to add lighting to James because it was very dark, however when it came to editing this proved to be aggravating; it meant that I couldn't highlight only James or get rid of the lighting already on him. It didn't seem to be too bad in this scene but it did become a problem for the later scenes.

Screenshot 8 shows the title of our film. It has gold text in bold on a black background-this makes it easily seen and catches the eye of our audience.this is effective because it gives the audience an insight of what our clip will be about,for example bold gold writing on a black background suggests to the audience that our clip will be about high stakes because of the element of gold and sinisrterism because of the mat black background.our title can relate to the film hunger games because the title of this film is a bright colour of orange and red (fire) and the film relates to adventure and mystery which attracts to our audience.

Screenshot 9 is an over the shoulder shot showing two characters exchanging a few lines of dialogue. The scene is blacked to create enigmas and make the audience wonder who the characters are. The scene first fades in and then a few lines are said before it fades out with the dialogue continuing over the scene-this suggests its a flashback and a bit of a back story for the characters and helps the audience to understand the situation that happens later.
