Journal - 21/02/12

The lesson today was used in a productive manner in the fact that we as a group were able to gain feedback from those used as an audience. This enabled us to hear opinions from others whereby constructive feedback was present.

After looking at all feedback given to my media product, i am aware that there are still quite a number of changes that may well need to be applied to my title sequence before it can be classified as a finished product. The feedback given were all similar in commenting on certain elements within my title sequence in which need to be developed.

The most common piece of feedback was about the poster distributed towards the end of my title sequence lacking clarity. Despite it being hard to read, i can proclaim that it was our intention to create this issue in order for an impact as we wanted those of the audience to ask questions (enigmas). Due to this, it is very clear that those who watched my title sequence were interested in finding out what was written on the poster itself.

 
On the positive side, we did receive feedback that complimented what was made present in our title sequence. Feedback made complimented the choice of typography as it established our genre along with sound(non-digetic), cinematography, and the performance of the character.


Through feedback, i can ensure that my title sequence is produced to the best of its ability which will be seen in further development.

Feedback From Peers






Above is feedback from peers to allow me and my group full acknowledgement of what our media product lacks, and what our media product has.

As seen from the feedback sheets, there were numerous questions in which allowed me and the members in my group the an understanding of what our media products fails to produce towards audiences. As established through questions and answers, in particular the question 'Things that need developing are?', my group and i were made aware that many answers consisted of 'Poster is not clear'. This type of feedback allowed my group and i to see that the desired effect that we intended to have was met; this effect was to have those of the audience eager to find out what it is that the poster fully displays.

By feedback, i have been able to make changes to my media product with sufficient time being spare. It was feedback in addition which allowed me to be able to identify what effect my media product has upon the target audience and alter the effect if not matched with my desire.

The Influence of our Storyboard



'Once a concept or script is written for a film or animation, the next step is to make a storyboard' is quoted from website http://accad.osu.edu/womenandtech/Storyboard%20Resource/. From this, i can establish that storyboards are used in the production of title sequences and are seen as the planner or comic book of a title sequence moreover. These are often created via the use of text and visuals which help illustrate the process that would need to be abided by when making the film itself.




Our storyboard pretty much told our title sequence in mini chronological shots which consisted of words also. This proved essential to the filming of our shots as there were many times as even with our storyboard, we had to consider how to film certain shots because of external factors such as the set out of the church we used in which we had no influence upon, and the weather when filming in Bostall Woods. After filming though, the majority of time was spent extremely well and wisely all because of the planning of it all which was produced by the storyboard.









Poster For Title Sequence



This is the poster in which will be in our title sequence and will be the last shot seen by the audience. This shot is relevant to our title sequence in that within the film, people start to dissappear and by having missing posters which are associated with those that seem to vanish, it will support what are film is about and what our title sequence will consist of.
