Frame 1- Is a Location shot the sets the location and the mood of the film as its a wood and its dark many people associate dark woods with horror.
Frame 2- is showing the main chracter and her outfit is very plain and simple it looks like night wear. she looks around in cofusion like shes is lost this build tension as you don't know what is going on at the moment in time.
Frame 3- Is more establishing shot also that the shot rotates makes it feel weird and like its not real or something.
Frame 4 is high shot showing variety confusion as its in a weird angle and the girl looks very confused
Frame 5- Is a tracking shot as she looks around trying to figure out what is going on.
Frame 6- Is a very energetic shot as the girl hears sounds she panics as she trys to find out where it coming from.
Frame 7- is her walking but a image of a Heart appear this startles the audience as it only in 2 frames and it unpredictable.
Frame 8- is the girl walking into herself i used the simple clothes so you can identify the girl but now there is two so you know its the same person.
Frame 9- The switch of Location and the girl waking up ending the weird dream as the dull colour has been removed an now its all nice and bright contrast.

What kind of media istituation might distribute your media product and why? How did you attract/adress your audience?
Who would be the audience for your product?
Horror, because of the setting, music and loneliness + Screms
Horror,
I feel this because it's set in a forest and it goes from having one girl in the woods to two girls. then blood and guts, also with the creepy atmosphere and music i would defo say its a horror
Who do you think the 'target audience' of this film would be? Why?
people who like odd wired horror films also people who like a twist.
it's a bit random too, random people who like random things should like this.
i think the target audience is young people, beacuse its a young person in the film
What is your favourite image from this film? Why?
The heart flashing it adds a 'scary' effect.
When the two girls are side by side facing each other, I thought the way was edited and filmed was well done.
If you were to borrow one idea from this film for your own film making project, what would it be &why?
Flashing heart
The way it went from scary girl in the woods back to a diffrent scene to somthing like a dream
Jake and Jim's feedback
This is feedback we got from jake and jim two professional film makers.
What I have learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product
I would like to improve my knowlage on After Effect and use it in my next project to get some great effects that would not be possible on any of the avalible Software. I will cheak online totrural on the web and ask people who ahve knoledge of the program
I would like to look and lern more interesting camera shot and how to co-ordinate each shot perfectly. How to properly organise a film shot so i can get the best result. Start to watch more film like some well known idependents for they seem to explore interesting shots then hollywood filmmakers so they can be noticed.
I need to learn how to use green screen so my possiblitys of film location and types can open up for more opitunities. Ask for a tutorial with teachers or other people to learn and get a chance to use it.
How i will Help Next time
In this Project i help a few people more with acting and only 1 or 2 people with technical issues. But i didn't help Sam, Alexander or Ash with there work. next project I look to wonder round the class and see if everyone's okay and if they need any help at all as there not going to ask me if i don't say I will help with anyone.

Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
During the making of my opening sequence i learnt a lot about the 180 degree rule and Continuity. in my film my character moves left to right for a while then slow rotates round so she going right to left. This is not sudden it gradually rotates which doesn't make it look out of place and wired.

Evaluationon My Opeing Sequence
How does your media product represent particular social groups
My Product represent on the Dark Social Groups like Goths and Emos as its Dark and a Horror.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
My First Thought of Distributers is Twisted Pictures as they do alot of Horrors and Thrillers like Saw and Dead Silence.
But that you be if my film is a big Hollywood Blockbuster

Editing Day 4
I moved all my credits in to the right places and trimed off any unwated footage. unfortunatly my sequence wouldn't render in to an anamatic so i could get the best out of it in After Effects. i tyed a few time but it didn't work so i did my effect in Final Cut. I got wanted but i couldn't get it any more darker then i origanly wanted.

Today i added a Song that my friends band has let me used. I have cut the film to fit with the song. Edited more of the sound effects and added the Credits to the film.
Still To Do
Put through After effect to add a filter to dim the colours.
Arange the credits so there not in the way of anything important.
