Preliminary Video

By
The preliminary task acted as an essential capability test in regards to practising techniques vital in the context of creating a piece of film. The 180 degree rule and match on action editing is perhaps the most simple yet influential techniques in regards to ensuring verisimilitude, as it draws attention to significant codes, such as props and facial expressions, as well as character movement and dialogue.





My preliminary task was rushed, it shows, and I'm immensely displeased with it. I had original plans to direct a sequence involving night-time alleyways and intense chess games in order to add my own creative twist, however, unforeseen circumstances prevented this from happening, and I have learnt from my mistakes as a result.

    I can see it now! It's ok. You did well with the match on action and the 180 degree rule but your shot reverse shot was set up poorly and some of your editing choices were a little weird. What do you think? Your evaluation mentions mistakes but you don't identify what you feel they were!

Evaluation One: Challenging conventions.

By
       In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?         My film is titled 'patterns'- the inspiration for this title came about based upon the contextual mannerisms of a conventionally popular 'murderer'- often following a pattern like lifestyle in regards to killing sequences. The title itself has connotations of a never-ending cycle, in this case a violent one, thus suggesting the characters' inevitable downwards spiral. The setting of my film is essentially meant to be a sort of 'bachelor pad'; generally connoting a sense of  the solitary lifestyle and independence, suggesting the character works alone in isolation. A control freak, his habitat must constantly be spotless. This is conventional of drama films such as American Psycho and Psycho, where traits of OCD come into play in regards to their mentality and relationship with sadistic tendencies. The costum...

Marketing

By
I created an Instagram to market my film, its address is 'patternsfilm18'. In the long term plan of the media account, I would aim to post teasers and trailers to engage my audience and keep them informed. I felt that Instagram would be the most suitable media platform as it is easily accessible and the act of hashtags and following features allow you to reach a wider audience.  The poster is simple and stylistic; use of the diamond technique through the tie draws the audiences eye to the fine print credits, and a finger subtly points to the title.

Demographic/Psychographic profiling and the target audience

By
Definition: Psycho-graphics refer to  classification of people according to their   personality , values,  opinions ,  attitudes ,  interests , and lifestyles. Demographics refer to the classification of people in regards to their education, social background and economic status. Typical target audience of Drama films: Drama films typically appeal to the upper and middle class categories of ABC1. This can generally be put down to the fact that conventionally drama films contain narrative that references complex intellectual issues such as crime and law. Most 'conventional' drama films are slow and overwhelmingly cinematic, as if they were designed specifically for the gratification of 'film snobs'. For example Gone Girl and Boyhood, films that appeal to somewhat niche audiences. However, C2DE audiences can enjoy drama films for the gratification of entertainment as well as relation. For example, Forrest Gump an iconic and arguably essential fam...
