Evaluation of Filming and Editing

Our picture is complete and we are now about to complete our sound edit. On our day of filming I think that the filming went very well. If our group keeps going at our current pace. We should be able to finish before the end of term, I have finished what I have uploaded a blog post with film industries logos. Also, I intend to add more information to them about how we could use their designs to make our logos more successful. Also, I have almost finished the Poster Analysis but I think that our group is on track to complete most of our construction and planning. 

Film Industry Logos

Jerry Bruckheimer Films


This is the film logo for Jerry Bruckheimer films. Jerry Bruckheimer is very well known. He produces not only films but T.V programmes as well. He has produced films like Armageddon to Pirates Of The Caribbean. He also produces television programmes like CSI to Without A Trace. This logo is quite nice as it is something that could give an idea as to what films they produce etc. 

Touchstone Pictures

This the logo for Touchstone pictures. They are very well known and distributed a great deal of films. For example, Pretty Woman, 10 Things I Hate About You and Sweet Home Alabama. The simplicity if this logo makes it easier to remember all though it makes it harder to remember the company name as the logo has nothing to do with the company name.














Warner Bros. Pictures


This is the logo for Warner Bros. Pictures. They are a very well known distribution company and are the owners of Disney. They have distributed films like Harry Potter to The Matrix. This company also handles T.V shows like The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Tom and Jerry. As Warner Bro.s are a very well known, their logo is something that everyone will remember. the bright gold of the logo is useful as it immediately catches the eye of viewer/audience. This is a good way of increasing the company profile. It may sound strange but it means that people who want to distribute their film would be using a company who have been promoted through word of mouth. 






A Band Apart


A Band Apart are a film company created by film director Quentin Tarantino. They have produced film like Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Inglorious B******s. Unfortunately the company closed won in 2006. Although they did produced Inglorious B******s in 2009. This logo is quite strange however it does give an idea again as to what type of films the company may produce/distribute. The use of the stencil on a Khaki background makes the name stand out more because of the fact that the font is a simple font. 

Things left to do

Things that we need to are:

• the blog with all our research and planning 
• finish research i.e-poster analysis, audience expectations and preliminary analysis
• film evaluation

Ideas of presenting evaluation

Originally, we had decided to create a Wix page in which we would present our research, planning and evaluation. After much deliberation, we have decided to present our research, planning and final task using Blogger, where we will use one page for each section.   This is because we felt that it is easier to use and less stressful when it comes to uploading videos and pictures etc. For some of the evaluation, we will have joined blog posts and for some of it we will add individual evaluations. For the main evaluation, we will have commentary over clips but for some of it, we will personally introduce ourselves and answer some of them questions. We also have a behind the scenes video that will be posted. As we are using a blog, it will be easier when it comes to writing our evaluations as well adding pictures/screenshots. We can also add clips of examples from films and add the 'public' point of view and what they thought about our film.  After watching another AS media groups evaluation videos, we felt that it would be more useful to use a range of different types of Media. This is because that we then have a range of ways that will help to give us a good grade.

Evaluation on editing

So far our editing I think has gone quite well. We have just finshed editing and we're about to put it into Garageband. There are a few minor problems that we need to change and add. But overall I think that we will be done within the next few weeks.

Editing the final task

Over the past 2 lessons our group has been editing our final task. However for us to get the best out of the editing section, we decided that we would each edit the movie in different ways. Then we would each take the sections out of each others and then put them together into 1 opening. I found the editing the movie quite hard as I had to take parts that would make the genre of the opening easy to see. Once I got the hang of it, it became easy to use. 


Overall, the opening is going to be quite use of the thing. The only problem I have is when it comes to the titles. I'm not sure how to add them and still make sure that it is no longer than 2 minutes.
