Film Evaluation Ideas

I was contemplating whether to work with someone else in my group or to work on my own and I have decided that I will now be working with Sophie from my group. I feel that I work best in a team and that we can both contribute ideas towards the evaluation task.
A few ideas that me and Sophie have came up with are:

To have the question appear at the bottom of the screen as we are answering a question.

To maybe have a split screen for when we mention my film with a clip of it to make sure the moderator knows what we are talking about and so that it is not just us asking a question all the time because that may get boring after a while.

To either take it turn answering the questions or to answer the questions together with both of us giving our input.

We still have loads of ideas coming up which will be blogged about in the near future.

DONE!

Our film opening is finally finished. Enjoy!

Section A - Disability

This extract portrays Disability in a negative way. In the wide shot of the woman in the wheelchair after she gets hit by the frisbee, she is shown as weak and fragile which not all disabled people are. Also, the fact that she has a minder with her lives up to the theory of disabled people needing someone there at all times and being incapable of looking after themselves causing them to lose independence and freedom.



This clip however shows Disability in a positive way. Due to Craig Moon having down syndrome, he still comes across as confident when meeting his siblings for the first time in the mid shot as appose to people with disabilities having low self esteem. He seems happy in his own skin evidently by the constant smile on his face throughout the clip.

Evaluation Questions

We have started taking into consideration our Evaluations of our film openings that we are going to be doing soon. As a class, we spoke about all the ways that we could do it for example, having someone there to ask you the questions while you answer them, doing it by yourself and embedding clips of your film into it etc. We also spoke about doing it in pairs or by ourselves. In my opinion, I think doing it as a pair is a bit risky due to one person not saying as much as the other however I like to work with others so I may work with someone. On the other hand, working independently would be a challenge for me so this may be an option for me as well.

The questions for the Evaluation are:


1. In what ways does your film opening use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2. How does your film opening represent particular social groups?

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your film opening and why?

4. Who would be the audience for your film opening?

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this film opening?

7. Looking back at your prelim task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the final film opening?

Our Title

This is our newest draft of our film opening and we have now added our title which is 'The Herione'. We chose this because of the Herione that drops out of the girl's pocket at the end but also because it is the female word for 'Hero' which shows the contrast between good and bad.
