Evaluation Of Production

 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products ?

My development is shown when i attempted to make my product first time over, i did not use a tripod so the outcome was very blurry and messy. When using this as development in my new product i have shown the angles in a better way with a tripod because it will make my film easier to watch. Challenge forms such as a close up on an old man to capture the age and importance in one shot was very difficult to capture as the lighting has a large impact on the way in which the face looks, for example if the lighting was bright and direct. 

For gaining knowledge i have used films such as Kidulthood to make sure i can use the right ways of filming. I have used the way they focus on the gritty areas to show impact on the film. This helps the general setting of my film to be established. I have learnt that my hands are shaky when i hold the camera and this means that using a tripod can give me more of an advantage to capture scenes with a more professional approach.  

actors

the models i will be using for my trailer are James Leader and Jonathan Adebanjo. One of them will be wearing old school gang clothes and the other will be seen in modern gang fasion to show the difference in time shown in gangs. I will film one in black and white and one in color to give the audicne an obviouse idea of what is what. I will be using mid en scene to show the different interpritations of how clothes can show some sort of icon in a person.

This is what the modern person will be wearing to show class and respect. Compared to the old person you would imagine it to be the other way round which was my initial idea and the reason i have chosen to do it like this is because after viewing information about gangs the new gangs seem to want to bring back the oldschool look. The film gangster squad is one of my chosen inspirations 

How is genre shown in cinematography

Cinematography is the usage of cameras in media, it is the blueprints and basic ground of filming. When you want to show a certain type of genre in a film you have to make sure the cinematography is used in the correct way so the audience does not get baffled with the setting or dodgy camera angles, this could lead to your audience being distracted or getting frustrated.

genre linking to pitch

Looking into further detail about the genre i am going to be using i decided to use the knowledge i have gained from watching gang films online or dvds i own. I noticed especially that the usage of ally ways were included specifically in the modern day gang films are seen regularly.

casting

I need to find a male who is broad, tall and looks old. I need this because when you put a tall broad man next to a small boy the comparison shows a range in gangs. This idea is taken from the research of films because i always come across a big man in a gang and it is the first person i notice when viewing it. I viewed the film reservoir dogs this helped me think about the right kind of people to choose based on the genre of the gang.

In the film props such as sunglasses and black suites show the trademark for this gang of organized crime, but the moral is that one of them is an undercover policeman. This gives us the impression that looks aren't everything in gangs and they can be deceived. I am thinking about making one of the smaller characters in my film to be a snake in the grass to show small as a metaphor for being the sly one, and the big nasty looking man is innocent and miss understood because he is generally a nice 

person but he still commits crimes involved with his gang.

My characters are going to be made to look smart and classy but have a feel of being scruffy and messy personalities at the same time. 

New idea

I have come up with a new idea to help me pot-ray my ideas in a way that i can actually feel like i have put put my all in. I enjoy posts on blogger but i never feel like my idea is fully understand, to achieve this i have decided to write myself a script and record myself talking into a camera explaining my ideas as i am a very upfront comunitive person. As i have been told to make my posts more creative this is a good way that i can do this. If i put my full effort in i could edit these videos so they are enjoyable for everyone to view. For influence and ideas i will study youtube channels where they edit the film of themselfes talking into a camera, once i have mastered the tricks to do this i can make them look professional and hopefully have a feed of videos coming into my blog frequently. I have taken to this idea like a duck to water because it fits my personality and i am pleased that i can advertise my idea to its full capacity.

trailer research - lock stock and two smoking barrels

Watching the trailer for this film i noticed two main factors of why it stands out. The non diegetic music is continuos and this makes the trailer simple to view and you don't feel like it is too fast too keep up with. Another factor to make this trailer easy to watch and up beat it when the last few seconds of a scene edited in is fast forwarded to make it have a full effect a

nd get you buzzing to see the film.

I want to create my trailer with influences from this film as this is an old school looking gang, this opens my eyes to how gadgets and clothing shows the change in time i can use this trailer as a more detailed timeline to how gangs are shown in there generation.
