Evaluation task 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?




This picture board is showing the 9 most important frames of our title and opening sequence

The first is showing the title we chose this font as we like the way that it had splatter marks o the letters we would have liked to changes the colour of the splatters to red to make it look like blood on the letters like the blood on the bonnet of the car

The second shot is showing the location that we used. We choose this location as it was in the middle of the countryside where it is almost deserted so we had almost. I trouble with traffic.

Shot number three is of costume and props, the teenagers were aloud to wear what they wanted to but we made the teen that got run over wear a white t-shirt so that when we put the blood onto him it stood out,  we made the man driving the car wear a suit so that he looked like a teacher which is important to the rest of the story.  the teen had some headphone in so that he could not hear the car approaching him and the teacher picks up his phone just before he hits the teen so that he was distracted.

Shot 4 is of camerawork and editing show one of the pans that we did and at the end of the pan we did a fade into the next shot as you can see with the way that the two images are both partially transparent.

font and style is shot number 5: The font of our titles in the title sequence is a very plain font. It is 'Times New Roman' in white because it stands out and contrasts with the dark dull scenes of the title sequence.

shot 6 is showing how the story is being set up, it is showing the teen that gets run over splitting up from the rest of the teens this is the most crucial part of the opening to the film he is alone and therefore makes the event more horrifying. As the audience is now thinking that an innocent teen has be run over. The overall storyline is that the mans driving the car is a teacher at a school and the teenager that he had run over is in his class this drives him mental and be then goes on to murder the other children in his class people start to get suspicious and the film ends in a hostage situation where the teacher gets killed and then the camera will pan round to see all of the ghosts of the teens that he killed with the teacher stood in front of them.

The seventh shot is of the genre and how this is shown in the opening. We used this shot as it shows the dark deserted surroundings, this suggests the horror genre as it is very mysterious. It also shows the blood on the bonnet of the car this shows that the film will include all the stereotypical parts of a horror film, blood, gore and a killer.

Shot 8 the main characters are introduced in the title sequence the teenagers are introduced in a very casual way they are first seen walking along the side of a field chatting away as if nothing is wrong, on the other hand you are introduced to the man driving the car bit by bit as you see his the side of his head and back but not his face until the opening sequence this builds suspense in the audience as they want to know who this man is.

The last shot is showing how special effects are used we used fades a few times during the title sequence but the only real special effect that we used was the last shot where we faded out the teenager bit left the background the same.
