analysing strengths and weaknesses of my blog

Strengths:
My blog appears to be organised and neat, with bold titles and colourful presentation. All the information on my blog is detailed and there are some good images.
Weaknesses: 
One of the main weaknesses in my blog is that not all the blog posts are complete and there are some main blogs missing. Another weakness is that isn't enough visuals to keep people intrigued.
Threats:
My biggest threat when it comes to blogging is that i don't keep track of the posts that i have completed and those that i haven't. This therefor makes me fall behind and not get that best grade possible.

PLANNING-Feedback from sheet

Our peers have given us feedback from our pitch, and have told us that the presentation was well prepared and detailed. However, we did not give a production schedule and we could have included more media.

Pitch for our film Drained

Pitch - Costume and Makeup (Sama Ansari Pour)

What genre of film is it? - Niamh

What genre have you chosen and why?
We have chosen to film a thriller. The reason we chose this genre is because we thought that it would  give us more options to explore sound and mes on scene. We also thought that the building up of suspense would be interesting to film. Thrillers promote excitement and a high level of anticipation, which we would like to create.

What title sequence in the same genre have inspired you and why?
The dark knight rises- The title sequence establishes an eery and mysterious atmosphere. The sound effects used help build up the atmosphere, creating anticipation for the viewers. The colours in the opening sequence only consists of black, grey and dark colours, foreshadowing the intended atmosphere.
Seven- The title sequence doesn't reveal any of the characters within the film. The soundtrack highly impacts the atmosphere created. The sound effects consist of an spooky continuous sound, with occasional screeches. As the sequence continues the music gets louder and the tension builds. The titles are black on a white back round, which emphasis the text. The plot is not revealed in the opening sequence, leaving the audience wanting to find out more.

   

What type of title sequence is it? - Niamh

Do you intend to have a discrete, stylised, narrative or animated title sequence? 
We attend to do a discrete title sequence. Discrete title sequences are separately filmed clips that are played before the movie starts. We chose to do a discrete title sequence because they usually set the mood and the tone for the rest of the film.

What real life sequences have influenced you?
An example of a good discrete title sequence would be James Bond- Skyfall . The title sequence skyfall sets the mood for the rest of the film, due to the sound, editing and mes en scene. James bond steals the title sequence by featuring in it the most, therefor allows the audience to recognise who will feature the most in the actual film. A lot of editing is used in the films titles, for example the titles in James Bond are bold and the lettering is sharp, which suggests that the film involves danger.

Do you intend to stick close to or challenge the conventions seen?
We intent to stick close to the idea of the type of titles that they uses. We want out titles to be bold and sharp, allowing to the audience to recognise that our genre is a thriller. We wont stick to the idea of having the main character featuring in most of the title sequence because we feel it would be better to show a range of characters and show a range of different scenes.  

PLANNING- Risk Assessment ( Ali Demirkan )

 
 There are many risks that we might face while filming or even getting to the location. For example ' The camera might fall ', to prevent this from happening we need to put it on the stand and make sure that someone in the group is next to it. ' Not having the SD CARD in ', This is a really bad mistake that many people come across, they film everything but forget that the SD CARD isn't inserted so they have to re-shoot which then makes everything harder and takes time. Also, ' Doing the shots incorrectly', This isn't good because maybe the shot type wouldn't fit the current situation so it might lower down the marks. In addition, ' Forgetting the shot types ' can lead to many circumstances such as; That shot type might be very important for the film, and if we forget it then it could be a concern for the group. ' Camera runs out of charge ', I was watching some BLOOPERS of popular films and believe it or not many of them forgot to charge the camera, therefore, halfway between the shooting the charge run out and they lost some data. Additionally, for me personally i have to travel from Tottenham to Camden which is far for me, this can be a risk as i might not make it on time so i might miss some of the filming. Finally, for our safety Niahm would be picking me and Jerome from City and islington because we dont know the way to Camden. Also, we wouldn't be carrying the equipment around all the equipment would be in Sama's house because if we carry the equipment it might lead to theft or get lost.
