This our film with a directors commentary style voice over, I talk about What kind of Media Institution might distribute our media product and why, also I talk about the titles and the logo.
The commentary on the YouTube video is a lot better as I have edited most of the clips so they don't sound as bad, although they aren't great quality which I'm apologetic for, the reason why it's so bad is because I ended up using the microphone on my headphones to record, other wise the sound files wasn't audible as I tested.
I have ended up shortening my speech on the video as when I read all of the text I couldn't fit it all into the length of the short 2 mins 35, so as a result I have ended up shorten what I say.l
Sorry I'm having problems converting .m4a format (from my iPhone recorded the sound clips to) to .mp3 I need to add to the film. the youtube video will be uploaded shortly
For this task I used Microsoft Word 2007 and then uploaded it to Scribd.com which is a website which allows me to upload documents such as Word documents or OpenOffice documents, then you can get the embed code, and paste it onto any blog/webpage and view the document as it was made/designed to.
This is our Final version of the film we made titled, "Time Won't Tell", I have added annotations using the YouTube onsite editing web application. I have commented the USP's, Genre Conventions, Music used and the Similarities between our film and others
Genre Conventions Comments
Unlike most films of the same genre as our film we have broke the conventions, these broken conventions include;
Budget
Dangerous Phyical Stunts
and destructive disasters
We have broken the budget convention by the conventions of an action film, by having a really small budget, involved in the film making compared to standard films of this genre such as Bourne Ultimatum, James Bond and Die Hard, which have budget rising into the many hundreds of millions of dollars to blow on awesome special effects, etc.
Secondly We don't have any dangerous physical stunts involved in the sequence because we don't have any professional stunts person to cover for the actors, unlike any of the general films which would employee specialists stunt people and co-ordinators to do the stunts, like jumping though a window two stories below from a balcony of another building or crashing and flipping a car at high speed.
There isn't any destructive disasters which include; Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Volcanoes, etc. The reason why these aren't include is because of Costs/Budget and Special Effects, the costs of making these would be enormous and we didn't have either the computing power or specialist software to create these special effects.
We have followed the conventions of this genre of film in the following ways;
High Tempo
High Energy
Allows for Audience Escapism
The Film is a of high tempo and energy, and due to this it'll have the audience members on the edge of their seats wanting to see more of the adrenaline pumping, fast pace action film, along with that we have used the music accordingly.
Our film allows the audience to discover escapism whilst watching it, the film is believable, enjoyable and watchable it makes the audience want to watch, due to the fact that for a hour or two the audience can watch a film which makes allows them to relax but at the same time enjoy it and have their heart beat faster than just sitting watching a tv show, because of the high octane fast pace fof the action film.

This is our final film.
I have added two video's because sometimes the YouTube video doesn't work, and sometimes the blogger video doesn't seem to work, so it was basically a back up feature, to make sure that the video was on my blog, sorry for any inconvenience.
These pictures are of me and Damon filming and editing, as you can see from the pictures we both took it in turns filming and filming on all occassions.
Rhys Withers is one of the two of our actors we chose for our final filming. He is 17 years old, lives in Narborough and enjoys playing sports which includes Football. Rhys is also interested and enjoys Computing, and as well as playing on his Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. He is planning on going to university to get a Degree in computer games programming, to get a job as a computer games programmer.
I believe that Rhys was the perfect actor for us to choose because he fitted what we both wanted of the actor, who is a casual man who was on his way to work.
The person Rhys plays is a casual business man who is being targeted by an assassin, yet he isn't really aware of if (for sure) or when he's going to be killed.
We told Rhys to wear black shirt and trousers, along with his and black shoes which are shown below
My target is to complete putting all the shots into order, cut them and match them for continutity. By this I mean that I need to p ut my shots in order that we plan on them running in the Film Trailer on the timeline on iMovie, then I'm going to cut the shots to the parts that we want so that they match with each other, once this is done I am going to make sure that they fit so the continuity fits correctly

These four Pictures are of an office which we have decided to film our final filming, We chose this place because it fits what we were looking for, I believe that the room was the best option, because of the the fixtures and features of the room, e.g. the pictures, statues, etc. I believe that these fittings in the office fitted into the assassins personality and helped the viewers to understand and relate to him more easily even though he is a cold blooded killer as his career
This is 'Richard', it doesn't matter which character he plays either the assassin or the person who is in the car, I think that he would fit into any role.of the assassin very well, because he has a calm, but likes to get a job done and to male sure its done properly, if anything isn't done to satisfaction he'll re do it or finish off the job. and this is what assassins have to be like, because if they don't kill somebody, or if they are clumsy they might get caught.

These are pictures of possible actors that I took a while ago I just forgot to upload them at the time, and have only just remembered to upload them.
This is my brother 'Alex' he is a possible actor for the scenes which are inside, where the assassin is watching the his culprit about to be killed.
I believe that the clothes that he should wear are; a shirt, trousers, shoes, and a tie, such as the ones pictured.
