Equipment Used


These are the three pieces of equipment that we used during our project. We used a DV1 shock proof camera and a tripod to film the scenes. In the scene we used the computer to access photoshop  in which we transported  photos from premier elements onto blogger. We also used adobe premier elements to access our film and to edit and render our film. We used mindjet manager pro 6  to assist us with some of our planning and research and to help with our evaluation activities to show what our audience liked within our film. We have a used other technology such as the i phone to introduce commentary's over the film. We used adobe software such as premiere elements and photoshop  to edit and make the core of the film. Photoshop was used for most of our evaluation activities and to  produce our title sequences.
We have also used network's such as youtube so that we could put our film onto the Internet. Blogger is a big part of how we were able to do our evaluation tasks. We used it to post the evaluation tasks and relevant comments on blogger. Adobe Premier was an easy software to use initially ,the editing and initial set up of the film was easy to put on to blogger. I personally found it more difficult when I had to put sound onto the film and thankfully I had a reliable and trustworthy group who could help me with that specific part of the software


I will now talk more about the film camera that we used. It is a DV1 waterproof  and shockproof camera with built in usb. This allowed us to process the film onto the computer which were then put into premier elements. It was then ready for editing and rendering. The camera we had was a HDMI camera which means that it was easily accessible to upload and render our copies of our film. The camera gives the film the real look and makes everyone feel like the film has an authentic look to it.

The Hobbit


The trailer starts off with a build up of music it starts off very tense and straight away we are shown the main characters who in this film is the hobbit and his companions. The trailer starts off with a monologue from the hobbit as he talks through his friends and what they are too him. There then starts to be a build up of music as we find out that the hobbit is about to go an adventure. We are then shown a personality of  the character as we see that he is very loving when he is talking to Gandalf we know he is Gandalf due to other films in this trilogy. We then see two cut pieces that explain who the director is of the film and what trilogy this film is linked too .

The music then starts to build up as we are introduced to new characters such as the elves and villains that the hobbit is having to face in his adventure the music then starts to mellow out as we feel that the hobbit is starting to overcome this adventure until the music starts to lift again as it shows us more action scenes this entices the audience as they are able to see two sides to the film good and evil . We are able to see all the surroundings in the film.

Questionnaire



Questionnaire


We have designed and handed out questionnaires to the rest of our class and friends and asked whether they would fill them out for us. The results of the questionnaire will give Conor and myself a realistic idea as to what to base our film on and what would make our film watchable to them and a attractive prospect. Our class and friends is the age that we are trying to attract, they are our target group, so it is important that we take their comments in consideration as they know what makes a good film for them so we must acknowledge that. Results soon to follow

Dark Knight Trailer










    
The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film directed, produced and co-written by Christopher Nolan. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the film is part of Nolan's Batman film series and a sequel to 2005's Batman Begins. Christian Bale reprises the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, with a returning cast of Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as James Gordon and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox. The film introduces the character of Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Gotham's newly elected District Attorney and the cohort of Bruce Wayne's childhood friend Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who joins Batman and the police in combating the new rising threat of a criminal calling himself the "Joker" (Heath Ledger).

Nolan's inspiration for the film was the Joker's comic book debut in 1940, and the 1996 series The Long Halloween, which retold Two-Face's origin. In addition elements of Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers' Dark Detective miniseries as well as the unpublished follow-up were reportedly cannibalised along with other elements of Batman mythology for the story.[4][5] The Dark Knight was filmed primarily in Chicago, as well as in several other locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Nolan used an IMAX camera to film some sequences, including the Joker's first appearance in the film.
I have analysed this film because it may not be a comedy but ticks the conventional superhero movie there is always a good guy trying to get the bad guy before he commits the worst offence he ever would . After analysing the opening two minutes of this film i have noticed that there is very little detail this is because they are trying to inform the audience of what is going to happen throughout the film i think we will also go down this road and apply these.
