Our Evalutation

Technologies used

We used a lot of technologies to create our media pieces which we wouldn't of been able to do without these.

 We used Celtx to create our script and schedule and also our character and props list. This helped keep us as a group organised and on schedule. We wouldn't have got a lot done without it.

We used Final Cut Pro to edit our footage together, this allowed us to make our film because we can't afford to use the high-tec technology, this allowed us to create a high quality film with this software.

We used Garage Band to create music for our film on which we could put on our film without needed copy write permission, this also allowed us to experiment with different sounds to make the music for our film

Google allowed us to search clips, information, and pictures and much more for our research and planning. Without Google we wouldn't of found out half the things we did using Google.

In IMovie we created our extras which was quite fun watching all our outtakes from our film, its also an easier way to edit footage.

In Photoshop I edited our poster and made all the brick wall, pavement and lower wall black and white and kept the bushes and characters in colour. This was a decision we made because it made our title stand out a lot more and also our quote and characters names.

Film Extras

^This was our final extras



^This was our first draft before we cut bits out

Final Poster

We had to change our poster again because the names of the characters blended in with the black and white wall so we needed to make some changes

Here is the first option we came up with:

We then decided we didn't like the yellow because it took away the harshness it and it made it look a bit like a cartoon. We then chose the writing to be in red because it kept the harsh tone of the poster and the message we wanted to get across to the audience. 

This is our final poster

Audience Questionnaire

We wrote a questionnaire to get some audience feedback on our film to see what they liked and disliked, what characters they sympathized with and which ones they hated. This also gave us a chance to change some things that the audience didn't like or what they felt didn't work

Here is our audience questionnaire

Final Draft of our Magazine Article

Due to the fact that we changed the font colour in our poster we had to make changes to our magazine as well here is what our magazine looked like for our third draft

Here is what our final magazine article looks like now...

Our Fourth Poster

We have made some slight changes to our poster just to make it the best we can and gain the most we can out of it. After a discussion we have decided to change the font colour to red and black because it makes the title stand out a lot more and also the quote at the top the 'simply' in pink wasn't very legible for the reader

Heres the poster from the old to the new

Old 

New

Third Draft of our Poster

We had to re-shoot our film which meant we needed to take a new photo for our poster because the characters were wearing different clothes to the original photo.

Unfortunately I don't have the image of the poster but you can see what it would look like before being made black and white.


After a lot of anaylising this poster we came to the conclusion we should change some things to make the title stand out more and the quote and the writing on the poster.
We made a creative decision to make the top and bottom of our poster to black and white to make the bush stand out, this was also good because the bush was green and we had green filters in our film so this was synergy between the two things.

This is how the poster looks now....

Second Draft of our Magazine Article

We had to make some small changes to our magazine article because of the change in actors in the film and also because we needed to make it look more like a proper magazine and put the picture in from the new poster

Second Draft for our Poster

Due to having to re-film we also had to re-shoot for our poster again and also we now were using the director of our film Nini Hadjipateras to be the main girl and Kate to be the friend because Nini was now playing the main girl so couldn't take on the role of the film.

These were some of the shots we took for the second attempt for our poster

This photo below was the one we used for our second draft of our poster

This is our poster from these images
