Review of 2nd Shoot

The shoot was much more organised and prepared for as this shoot had a new actress acting. Instead of using my sister i decided to use Kirstie Houghton (AKA Girlfriend) because my sister was heading back to university, therefore i decided to switch the character role so that Kirstie was more reliable to use as an actor as i couldn't rely on my sister for a reshoot. The shoot went much more smoother and all the shots were being produced after a few hours i have lots of nice shots and i am happy with what i have produced. Looking back at the shots i knew and had a picture in my mind which i wanted them to pan out for my sequence. Therefore after this second shoot i then began to edit a first drafted piece of coursework.

Saw 5-Analysis

Even though I hate horrors, I did decided to analyse another opening, this opening was Saw 5. It begin with promoting Its Production company and name of the company producing. The name is called twisted pictures and when showing this title it gives the audience a feeling of what is to come as the name get twisted in barb wire and this certainly gives the feeling for the film

Organisation is the key....I think?

I decided to try and be organised, so i made a shooting schedule to keep up to date on shoots i had to do, filling in stuff like who was present, what day and also the time. I think it has helped me review my shoots and helped me keep them fresh in my mind ..... :)

Key Ingredients of a Horror Opening

When making an opening of a horror film you need certain aspects to make the sequence successful, with a horror you need to give the audience enough to keep intrigued but not too much to give away the story. When following the rules of a horror, it is the girl that always get killed and the girl is always made out to be the sterotypical blond girl that will always get killed... Another so called rule is that in the opening their is normally a killing or an intention or danger and this is because it then gives the audience a taster of what is to come. A final ingredient for a horror is that people that drink alcohol, or have underage sex will be killed as in horror film the rebellious people are the ones who suffer....... With these ingredients, a horror film is always produced, Although they may be sometimes change the order in which they use the ingredients, as long as it is sucessful........ From doing my research it has gave me lots.....

Ratings- What are they and why do they matter?

Rating are very important to the Film industry as they are good to split the films up into certain groups in so that these groups and films are targeted to the right audience. For example Toy Story would not be an enjoyable film a 15 year old boy, who would prefer a James Bond, Casino Royale. The rating system is also a good guide to help you know what kind of film it is without watching.

The Rating system are as follows into why these rating are given due to what film:

U Rating- It is a universal film suitable for children four years and older. This films are looked at for the primary school children and so that it enable them to be able to watch films with U rating alone.

PG Rating- It is for a little bit of an older group aimed for Eight year olds but choice of an adult present when watching as scenes may not be as pleasant as others. Sensitive children may need an adult present.

12 Rating and 12 A Rating- Both are identical but with a 12 A the person watching younger then 12 will need to be accompanied by an adult as scenes may be to sensitive for a younger viewer. Scenes from these films may be seen as too much for children advising parents to be aware.

15 Rating- No one younger then 15 must not watch it, these films introduce the adult humour and in some cases, horror films may show violence and horrible scenes which may affect the viewing for this older audience.

18 Rating- No one younger may not watch these films, these will contain Violence, Adult humour, Sexual Scenes, in any case anything could be shown pending on the type of the film.
