Evaluation of my storyboard

I presented many diverse shots such as, close up, extreme close up, long shots, panning shots, high shots, low shots. I think this was effective as it built up a tense atmosphere and made my documentary more authentic by using shots that many of my inspired documentary examples use. I contrast close up shots and long shots because it creates suspension for the audience seeing conflicting shots of the prisoner's zoomed in face to a shot of the mise en scene to a long shot of the prisoner sitting in a isolated room. I decided to use a variety of shots exposing the harsh location and environment because it presents to the audience the harsh realities of prison life. I show different angles especially when it is shots of the prisoner in the interview because it characterises the prisoner in different light e.g. conveying her as evil and dominant or as vulnerable and suffering. 

 After creating my storyboard I decided that I wanted to do my interview with a black green screen as my background because I think it would look more professional and would match a crime documentary setting more. I think it would look more effective and realistic as many professional crime documentaries use a green screen to interview people. I may add shots of the canteen to portray that that's the prison's canteen and that is where the interview will be taking place. To improve the storyboard I would of added shots of the prisoner in front of a black green screen.
Also, due to permission for filming from the prison being too late so I may film at a nearby location near me that looks abandoned and a old prison.

    The detail in your storyboard is excellent Tillie, don't forget you also need this as an animatic. You can edit this together using the macs or just windows movie maker if a simple format would work for you.

Film poster analysis

Anchorage- words that accompany the picture e.g. 'The past never dies it kills' I think the anchorage is used as one of the main focus points of the poster because of the crisp white italics harshly contrasting against the faded black background. The colour tone and contrasting immediately catch the audiences eye. In addition, the short and snappy anchorage has a underlying dark message personifying the past which makes it interesting so, draws in the audience in. Preferred reading-   When audiences respond to the product the way media producers want/expect them to:   I feel that the audience responds to the poster with a burst of adrenaline and terror due to the graphic and eye- catching image which is the producers aim. In addition, when I first saw the poster I felt on edge and shocked at how realistic the image is. I think the producers aim for the audience to feel extremely on edge to convey the full effect of demonic possession and all the other underlyin...

Preparation for my evaluation Q3

I created a survey to get feedback from my target audience whether anything was missing from the documentary, what was interesting about it etc.. so I can get a better insight and narrow down the key codes of conventions that work well with my demographic. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=ooVsOllCiFkUvXqIDC3bz_2BguCbKI5APsW_2BwUPUuAOZ136cZ0M9EGUyibbCH1DfcQ Overall this bar graph presents how women and men equally enjoyed the documentaries elements including the mise en scene, sound, characters and editing. I chose to make this study as I wanted to see who felt as though specific conventions worked effectively incorporated in my documentary. Overall, I feel as though my target demographic according to gender to equally halved, which enables me to look at both gender's interests and focus on all conventions in order for it to appeal to all my target audience. I chose to study the percentages of diverse ages that found my documentary interesting to focus and narrow do...

Interview with a serial killer analysis

This is a extreme long/slight ariel and high angle shot of Rochester New York State. The mise en scene presents an urban city landscape which presents the location of the documentary and implies that the prison is populated and big. The scenic view shows little colour apart from some greenery of the trees, this is because the frame is mainly of brown/beige plain and unsightly buildings. There is non- diegetic sound of police sirens and the buzz of traffic in the populated city. The police sirens show the audience the crime and trouble in this area linking back to this documentary about a serial killer. There is diegetic music which has a slow tempo, low pitch and repetitive beat which fades out as dialogue is introduced. The editing is quick and snappy as it cuts from different shots showing the variety of locations in New York. This is a medium long and eye level angle shot of the outside of the prison showing huge razor wire gates and large beige blocked buildings with cameras an...
