Questions and Answers

Once everything was done, it was time to answer a series of questions of the media product, here the audio clip of myself answering these questions. If you want to may chose to have this on in the background while reading the other posts to understand the relevance of some posts that have evidence that needs to be seen.
Here are the questions:

• 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 media technologies in the construction; research, planning and evaluation stages?     

Magazine Article

This is my magazine article in it's final format utilising the style from the movie of having a black background with red under-styles, using formats previously talked about in other sections of the blog and presentations I have created, to me effective and well presented article. This page is about the editing and technological aspects of creation and editing the footage with sound and colour contrast.  
Other page transcript:

"Once all filming had been done and we were happy with it, the editing process began in earnest. This requires the bulk of the time for making a film because of audio clips being introduced, footage being perfected with lighting and transitions  and so on.

The audio was a challenge, The audio for gunfire was collected from the royalty free sources while the traffic and forest noises was taken from and archive folder used by film makers. Finally the bulk of the audio, the song 'Woke up this morning' was bought which gave me legal ownership of my own copy and wouldn't need to pay royalties to the copyright holder or ask permission from them to use it in this movie. 

 The lighting posed it’s own, unique challenges. Because I had chose to film in the dark to add a layer of tension and suspicion to the film it did that in some shots it was discovered it was too dark and we couldn’t go out and reshot due to the site being used by a construction after we had filmed, so it meant that during editing artificial enhancements had to be used to make some shots visible to the audience,. But the key issues was finding the balance between the shots that were too dark having enough exposer to make them visible or too much that looked unnatural. Overall I personally feel that the editing has vastly improved the film and has produced a film that audiences should enjoy”.

The poster: The scenes have been laid out in way that is visually engaging to the audience, by using the rules of thirds where the poster is broken into three sections width wise I have laid out the scenes used in chronological order from top left to bottom right, I chose to do it in this manner  because the film is targeted at a Western audience and that is the way that we interpret text and images on a page.

This page is about the filming and talks about incidents during filming and the overall experience.    

Here is a script of everything that is included in the article:

Director  Kieran Fallows talk about his latest movie venture Dirty Work releasing on the 29th of April and the issues that arose during filming as well as the overall film. For those that don’t know what the latest film is about, here is a short synopsis:

The film itself will be set around the time of the 90’s in a world dominated by crime, shady dealings and corrupt officials in society.

Here are his words on the film.

“Of course, trying to make a film about a different time was going to be interesting as we had to source  appropriate equipment, costumes etc. For example the car is a old Skoda used in the 1990’s and thus fitted with the time line of the film.

Filming itself  posed challenges, the location was a abounded industrial site which fits the films feel but there was no artificial lighting and it was too dark for natural to be used, instead we had to relay on using the car headlights to highlight the location, however we did find during filming that this gave the overall ascetic of it being a secluded area away from civilization. Of course filming at night can be interesting, especially when you fall over! We was filming one of the last shots and one of the actors, Bradley Entwhistle fell over because he couldn’t see a pothole on set  so that set back filming because we had to check he was ok.

I have been asked many questions about this latest film and why I decided to deviate away from my previous films genre of horror, well I did because the criminal world has always fascinated me; the backhanded deals, the violent deaths, the comradery and betrayal involved”.

All of these kind of aspects make for a good film and this is how we ended up with ’Dirty Work'. To wrap all this up in nice, neat package on how I feel about this latest endeavour, I personally feel it has been a great success and one that myself and the talented actors I have worked with  very much enjoyed  creating, I just hope the  audience feel the same way when they watch it”.
