Feedback 2

While playing the revised version of our video to the class, faces all around us glowed up with enjoyment. After the film people gave feedback about the revised film and overall they only gave good feedback about how well it was put together. although we didn't get feedback that would imply us re editing it, I thought some things needed to change in order to make the film run smoother. The voice over from when trey was walking towards the Honda after being released from jail, was a little rushed and not loud enough. A new recording will replace the current one. Also incidental music needs to be added to the beginning and end of the movie as it feels as if its lacking sound (too quiet). another edit we need to make is the volume of the officer when talking to trey. the radio sound effect volume is set too high and needs to be changed in order for it to be more pleasant for my viewers.

The technology we used wasn't as extensive as one might think. In order to keep track of research and things that have occurred in making our film, we used a google application called blogger. We were able to access blogger through HP EliteBooks that are available for use in the aice media studies class room. In order to shoot or film we used my personal camera the Sony Alpha 5N. i swapped the lens to some 18x55 mm lens which game me the perfect picture and zoom for this project. After filming we had to figure out a way to edit the video and compile it all together. To do this we used an amazing editing software by adobe, called adobe premier pro. It gave me all the necessary tools to edit the video exactly to my liking.

With little previous background on planning, filming, editing, and many other skills it was quite a learning process from beginning to end. My passion for cars and taking pictures, filming and making edits of cars gave me an edge in the filming aspect. Some challenges I faced are the adaption to this different editing software. I've never worked with premier pro before so the whole editing process took a little bit longer than expected. After proficient use i have become very comfortable using the editing software and plan on using it for future projects. The whole process of finding a shooting location was hard as i had never had to deal with one this tricky. through some friends we found out a perfect spot and asked for permission in order to conduct the filming.

After doing extensive research on audiences and social groups and how they apply to different movie genres. We came to the conclusion with our genre our target audience would include car enthusiasts, adrenaline junkies, and those sort of groups. In order to connect our audience to the film we used normal conventions from other movies in order to draw the viewers in and glue them in their seat until the film is over. these social groups over the years are having a ridiculous amount of influx from the youth. In order to connect them to this piece we used items that the millennials would connect with. This included the Louis Vuitton bags and other millennial based stylistic cues that would appeal to this subset of social groups. After doing research in different movie distribution methods I concluded that universal would partner up with us in order to distribute the movie. Universal pictures is a world renowned distribution company that has more than enough reputation in order to push our film to its revenue stream limits. Universal pictures would then distribute it to multiple theaters for example regal cinemas and amc cinemas (local examples). If this strategy were not to work then we would sell all rights to a streaming service. The particular streaming service we would choose would be Netflix, due to the large subscription number.

In order to create a blockbuster like movie we had to dig into some research. At first we looked at what plots these sort of movies have and how they develop. From this were were able to formulate our movie intro and how it needs to unravel to have people eager to keep watching. We also broke down these intros into their basic elements of camera shots, sound, editing, and mise en scene. This let us directly get a feel for how a movie like this is made. After researching these conventions we started to try to implement them into the movie. We used specific camera angles like low angle shots to emphasize the aggressiveness of the cars and situations. Before the race was conducted we used insert shots of the cars revving and warming up. This is a big convention in a lot of major racing films. For example in all of the fast and furious movies lots of over used revving clips can be seen before almost every single race conducted in the films. After doing extensive research on our target audience we concluded our target audience matches directly up with the social group represented within the film. This social group being car enthusiasts and motor heads is what exactly this movie to appeal to. Me being a car enthusiast myself would have me wanting me to see the movie as it release.
