Production of evaluation Q.4

Production of evaluation Q.4

This is a short post on which explains the theory behind the production of my evaluation question 4 and why i decided to film it in this way. I wanted my evaluation question to be very free flowing, as we moved from each technological device. It allows the viewer to watch my evaluation question while digesting various information on the technological devices we used and what impact they had on our production. The production and filming of question 4 was fairly simple, as it allows you to see from a ravens wood media student perspective. As you follow the student around the media corridors you are forced upon you information  of which shows you the various and best technological devices. As you can see here on the right we had already scrap planned which technological devices we used and hand written how the production was affected by these. Once these had been hand written they were each enlarged and typed up onto each sheet of paper. This then easily allowed us to print these off and stick these around the corridors completing my free flowing effect.

From this trailer of the film 'Warm Bodies' I am going to discussing aspects such as sound, mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, choice of titles, narrative, genre, casting and company credits. The reason for going in depth on this trailer is so that I can get ideas and so that I can understand what consists of a film trailer.

Two zombie one being 'R' and the other the audience are told via voice over is R's best friend, sit down beside each over and do not have the capability to talk as they are not human but are soulless bodies, and instead they just look at each over and grunt, supporting the previous point that can not convey emotion or simple things such as pronouncing words. Also, by the audience being told that 'R' has a best friend comes across quite ironic taking in to consideration that zombies are perceived to be soulless and cant do what humans do, but this zombie considers this zombie to be his best friend, making 'R' individual and breaks the stereotype. 

With any stereotypical romantic comedy the music is parallel with the story plot. It always starts with simple sad music but as the trailer moves on it becomes more uplifting which matches the story plot as this dead-hearted zombie boy becomes more human because of this female he meets. 

In this trailer we see the boy 'R' wearing a plain ripped and dirty hooded jacket with a t shirt and tatty jeans, this represents his brain dead simplistic zombie nature. The audience are also shown a security guard still in his uniform but again the uniform is very dirty and has holes in it, still portraying the stereotypical zombie. 

We see a close up on this boys face to see the vains and abnormal features which states proof that his is a zombie. A long shot of the worse zombies and we can see that they dont wear any clothing to show that they have no chance of becoming human again. A mid of the humans which reveals that they are wearing normal fashionable cloths.  

It says 'This February' so this lets the audience know that the film is coming out soon and also lets the people know when to go and watch it. It also says 'Love' which again reiterates the point that their is going to be a lot of romance and love throughout the film.

The narrative that we can take from this trailer is that it is a rom-zom-com. There is a zombie boy who is just walking around doing zombie activities and having a pretty much pointless life. Until he meets a young beautiful girl who he falls in love with. As we all know zombie's are cold hearted and don't have feelings, although when he meets this girls something spectacular and magical happens...his heart beats showing that he has not fully turned zombified and has a hope to be human again. This girl is his chance to become human again therefore making her a key part of this film. This gets the audience attached to this zombie 'R' and to feel sympathy for him. This film is in a sentence is a film about love and the human tenacity to reach our goals, and become where we want to be and go out and get what we want. We can tell that this film will be about this young boy and this girls love, life and how the fight through everything and everyone against them to defy all odds and be together. 

The genre of this film is a zom-com as it involves zombie's and a lot of of comedy involved throughout most scenes. 

For the zombie a young man looks about 18 has been chosen for this part. The reason for this is so the audience can feel related to the character and also feel sympathy for this character because he is only young and he is a flesh eating zombie. For the young girl that the zombie boy falls in love with, they have casted a younger girl to appeal to the younger audience, also they have chosen a beautiful blonde hair blue eyed girl, the aryan race type of girl. If you ask the majority of people this is the most attractive and prestigious features you can get in a woman therefore the audience will love this female actress making them subconsciously love the film. 

Near the start it shoes us the logo of 'Summit Entertainment' and summit are know for their world renowned movies. This gains warm bodies a pre sold audience as whoever likes or watches Summit Entertainment will go and watch this movie, that is why it is key to have such a world-renowned production company involved with your film. 

This young mans voice is used for the voice over. He has a very soft and kind voice juxtaposing to what the stereotypical zombie voice would sound like. Giving hope for this brain dead zombie! Also by having this zombie as the voice over shows to the audience that there is this trapped human inside of this zombie body...creating an attachment with this zombie and the audience. 

Final Film Name Decision

'Behind The Screen'

We felt this title incapsulaed what we wanted to portray and relates fully with the film we are going to make. Not only is it very ellegant but it flows off the tonguue which inveribly makes it attractive and appealing to the reader!

Professional Film Poster

This is a professional film poster from the film 'Batman: The Dark Night Rises'

In movie posters one key feature is the image, this picture needs to get the audiences attention and stereotypically it will have the main character in it. Another aspect we can see is the fact that they have named the main characters, this is to gain a pre-sold audience as famous actors have fans who will see any film that they are in. The title of the film is still there as in a teaser poster. There will always be a sentence at the top of the film posters, such as 'WELCOME TO A WORLD WITHOUT RULES.' this is to intrigue the audience to this film, and give them a sneak peek in to what the film can be about. At the bottom of the page in very fine print which is only visible/readable if you look really close. This part is paying respect to the people and production companies credit. Lastly, their will be a more specific date e.g JULY 18 as it is closer to the premier of the film.,

Professional Teaser Poster

There is quite a few features to pick out in this in this teaser poster in comparison to a movie poster. This will hep me decipher the differences and make my teaser poster completely authentic. One thing i noticed with several teaser posters is that a teaser poster normally contains one of the main characters and can have a shot sentence or phrase. Also at the bottom they will have the name of the film and a couple of company names that are involved with the film, to get a pre-sold audience of people who love for e.g Legendary Productions and will watch the film. Another key aspect on teaser posters is giving the date of when the film comes out e.g summer 2008, letting people know when to go and watch it. Lastly, they will always put a website link at the bottom so if people want to know more about the film then they can search this website up and find out more about the movie. Teaser posters try a keep by the guideline of being simple and not to give to much away to entice the audience to watch their movie.
