Representation

This is the way people and events are presented to the viewers. These represntations are created by the producers, these decisions then go through the 'gatekeepers'. The gatekeeper is anyone that is involved in the production of the film. These choose how the characters are finally represented. This finnally goes to the media consumers, this is the general public who are watching the film. We are all unaware of the process of Representation of the characters we automatically have their sterotypes in our head and do not know the different processes such as the gatekeeper process.

Streotypes:

Media Institutions will use stereo types to make the audience instantly get a insight of the characters persoanlity and background. Doing this you instantly know what sort of personality the character has, this is called a visual shortcut.

Archetypes:

This is the complete stereotype when in films in usually very over exaggerated such as 'Shrek' who is an ogre who lives in a swamp.

 

Countertypes:

This is a representation who challenges the original obvious stereotype. Such different people, places and groups.

Prelim Task

 This was some of the feedback we gained from our preliminary task. Overall the general feedback was that it was a very interesting clip, some say that the genre wasn't that clear but it did have a good concept to be a very good story for a film. The shots that sere made in the film were very popular especially the final shot in the film with the strobe effect. The editing was also very popular especially is some shots when the ghosting effect was used. The script used was also popular at the start of the film. Overall I think it was a good and successful effort being one of my first films.

My Premiere Practice

This is my first edit using Premiere, I found the software challenging at first but over time I got more familliar with the software and knew how to work the different tools. For the this task we had to edit a video of dancing bears and make sure we could edit out all the black outs in the clip that we could using the razor tool and the diffrent transistions. Overall over the time using the software doing this task has given me a good insight to Premiere and I feel next time I use it for editing I will feel very comfortable with it.

Juno Opening

This is our Juno Opening scene we have recreated. This was our first filming task we had done and taking that into consideration it did go very well. We did have some trouble's when it came to some shots such as the location of the filming as we needed to find the appropriate background for each shot. Also what camera shot we were going to do as we had to make every shot the same as the Juno opening. Our storyboard that we used as a plan for the shot is accurate when it comes to the picture and the explanation of the shot but the seconds are not exactly correct when you compare our Juno Opening and the plan of the storyboard. The strengths of our group was that we had a very imaginative group when it came to thinking of where and how to do each shot. The filming was good in places but some of the shots were not as stable as others especially when we had to do a panning shot. The weakness in our group was the general discipline within the group. We could of done shot much quicker with how long it took us and this made us shoot the film over two different days. We got all the footage we wanted apart from a couple of short scenes which are very brief but this led us to making the other shots over run to make the other clips of our film fit in with the Juno Opening. I learnt many different skill using the camera such as different shots and what shots are most effective from certain angles and heights. As this is one of my first premiere tasks I am still getting familiar with the software but doing this task I have gained more experience and have discovered different editing techniques. In my opinion the clip matches up well it parts but there are parts where not every shot was covered and some shooting angles were slightly out other than that as a first film I think that it was a success. For my next shot I will improve my shooting skill with the balance and the different angles of the camera, I also need to improve my editing skills but this will come with time as I gain experience with the software.
