Evaluation Question 1


This is an audio response to evaluation question 1, 

The title of our film is called ‘On The Run’ the reason why we chose to call it this was because during the film opening the boys are often seen running away from things such as, school and the murder they find! Our setting and location for our film was in school and in Cookoo’s hollow, the reason why we filmed here was because it helped set the scene at the start and helped relate to our audience, especially in the school clips. Also the woody background to the location was perfect for our murder scene as it was dark and gloomy which is a great place in a film for a murder. Costumes which were used were everyday teenage boy clothes; the boys wore chinos or skinny jeans and a causal top and hoodys. This also helped relate to our audience. The props used was a football and a knife, the football helped relate to our audience because it is something they would like to do. The knife was used for the murder weapon which heped imply the horror side to the film.  The main part of the film opening was the finding of the body and the camera work used for this was hand held to create a more realistic feature. We used different editing techniques such as jump cuts and fade in and out edits. The overall story for the film would have been, after the boys capture the murder on tape then the person who was caught over the body would try and track down the boy’s this is why the boy’s are on the run hence the title. The genre is Action/Horror and our film opening suggests this because they are running away from things suggesting the action side to it and the finding of the murder suggests the horror side to it. The characters are introduced at the start when they are in the school playing football.

Final Film

Canon FS200

This is the camera we filmed with it is a Canon FS200 most of our shots were down by hand as we were filming from a mobile phones point of view, the others where establish shots and were taken on a tripod to keep the camera steady and to set the scene.
We feel the camera was good for us and recorded in a good quality we had no issues with using it.

Murder Scene

This is the Murder scene where we catch the so called murderer leaning over the victim with blood covered in his hands, as he slowly looks up towards the boys camera as they stand their in shock, before running for their lives. It is in a stereotypical dark, consilled area to emphasise the badness about it.

New Idea

We decided to listen to our survbeys more and decided to change our idea as we were struggling to pull off some of our ideas for our previous ones. We all decided on a story line and have most of it now filmed and mostly edited we are waiting until tommorrow to film the rest and put it all finally together.
We have gone for a horror/slasher/action genre, the storyline is basically 4 boys skive school and witness a murder when they are out, they run for their lives to get out of site not knowing whether the murderer saw them or not, only to later find out one of them dropped their wallet, does the murderer know who they are? What will he do to them to protect himself? Did he actually kill someone? 
We leave a massive cliff hanger when the last thing you hear is a knock on the door at the boys house.
