Ideas for storyline of film.

-Murder occurs
-Policeman on case is murderer (split personality)
-Flashbacks to hint that he could have done it. E.g. Violence towards wife, threats towards neighbours etc.
-Piecing evidence together, starts to realise it was him

3 possible endings:
-Goes crazy and gets put into an institution
-Goes crazy and goes on a killy rampage
OR
-kills himself

Film Posters I Like

I like this poster as although it is image lead, which is a convention of film posters, it creates quite an impact. The image is an iconic one of the Joker, which any Batman fan would recognise. The only writing on it is essential information  such as the film name and release date.

This poster on the other hand, although still image lead, has more writing on it, it contains a Billing Block, which gives the names of actors, producers, directors etc.

Both of these film posters are very dark and the prominent colours seem to be black and red. As said before, both are image lead, however the poster for Batman is a image taken from the film whereas the poster for Jurassic Park is a logo for the film.

Advanced Portfolio Evaluation

The questions that must be adressed in the evaluation are:

-In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

-How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

-What have you learned from your audience feedback?

-How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

In the last 2 lessons, we have been working in groups of about 6-7. We have been experimenting with different camera shots, angles and techniques, such as using a tripod. We have used a checklist of a variety of shots of different things. We also used a clapper board to mark which shot and take we were on, and so have learnt some different skills.
