This is the camera and tripod that I would have used for filming.

This it the computer which I used for the posters, magazine front covers and for the trailer. The picture on the screen is the character introductions in the trailer.

This is a picture of me editing the picture of Harry. The photo shop effect that I am applying to the picture of Harry is a slight fade.
I used a website called pyzam to find The Godfather layout that I have got on my blog. I did this because I thought it made the blog look more attractive and it fitted well with the gangster layout.


This is a picture of the mac computers that I have used for the trailer.

This is a picture of my using the imovies to make my film trailer.

These are the different sights that I have for my media work. Without using these sights I wouldn't have been able to have made any for my media work as effective as it is now.

NHNZ

Today I worked with a professional film company called NHNZ. This is based in New Zealand and is one of the biggest contributors of the National Geographic channels, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, A & E Television Networks, Travel Channel as well as major broadcasters NHK (Japan), PBS (U.S.) and France 5. NHNZ have got close to 200 international awards including Emmy Awards and a prestigious Wildscreen Panda which made it all the more rewarding to help them.

This is a picture of the film crew at work. as you can see the equipment that they are using are for professionals. The cameras cost over £50,000 each but the quality was a massive increase in the ones that I have used. The fluffy thing the man is holding it to help with the sound so even though it was a windy day you would still be able to hear what the people were saying. this is something that would have come in handy with my filming because I had problems with the wind in the scene where 'Carl' and 'Sal' get robbed after winning the poker game.

Film Trailer

I have uploaded my film trailer and I am pleased with the way it has come out. The only thing that isn't as good as I hoped is the lighting because it is a lot darker than on the mac computers. I also made a DVD copy and they were a lot brighter than the way the trailer has come out on the blog. When you put the trailer onto full screen it is also not as clear as it was on both the mac's and the DVD.

Editing

I have edited the way the card game was shown because it was quite slow paced and dragged on a bit compared to the fast paced start. I do still have it taking up a proportion of the time because it shows the importance of the game. By changing the way the card game has been structured has made it feel faster paced and therefore more exciting.

problems with memory stick

I have been having problems uploading my film trailer to the blog because my first memory stick didn't have enough space to hold all trailer. I have got a new memory stick recently and have been having trouble what one too because it doesn't seem to be able to be used on the mac computers at school

Audience Profiling

This is the first person I am aiming my trailer towards because he will be part of my target market.

This is the second person that I am aiming my trailer to because although he is different to the first person he is still in my target audience.

This is another type of person that my gangster genre will apple to and it part of my traget audience. This is important that I know who my target audience is because if I know this then I can my my work more specific to there needs. I will use the generic conventions of gangster films to help me do this.

Editing

Today I finished the character editing. I was origionally going to have all the characters with a red background but I tested it out with different coloured backgrounds and I thought it looked a lot better with different colours. I have kept Sal and Carl the same colour because they are supposed to be the main people. I have also added them all back into the film trailer and it looks realy good.

Editing

I have decided to introduce the characters of the film like the trailer Snatch. The way they have paused on the characters and there name comes up with a different coloured background looks really professional and I will try and incorporate it into my trailer. I have had a go at it today and I have added an effect to the character in photo shop. Here is an example of the designs that I have done so far.

To get this design I have to turn the action into a still frame and then copy it into photo shop. I then had to cut the person out of the picture and then paste it into a new slide. I then added different special effects to the characters. as you can see 'Carl' have been taken from the still frame and then cut out. I think the gradient background looks a lot better than the normal one colour.

Editing

Though I am happy with the shots I have used in trailer I feel that it seems more like a film opening to a film than a film trailer so I have made a few changes. I have added film institutions at the start of the trailer to show who it was made like real trailers would have. For this I have made up my film institutions as SCAR Films like SKA films that made Lock Stock and Two smoking Barrels. I have also made another intuitions called Stuart Pictures. This is because most films have two institutions in the making of their film. To do this I had to make the title of the film on photo shop and then import it into imovie to be able to incorporate it in my trailer. As you can see I have added pictures to the title to make them stand out and look more professional.
