Question 7










This is the video that I have made about all the films I have made this year. I have learnt certain things such as:


  • Checking the continuity to make sure it flows smoothly and there is nothing in the background of any of the shots.
  • We learnt how to use different shot types such as close ups to show the significance of something and an extreme long shot to show isolation.
  • I also learnt how to work as a team and make the communication between our group was good.

Question 7



This video is showing what I have learnt from my AS media. Overall, the main points I have learnt from the films that i have made are:


- To make sure you always take into account continuity and check that you don't leave any kind of equipment in the back of a shot.


- How to use lots of different shots effectively.


- How to work in a team and also to make sure you stay in contact with the       people you are using for your film regularly.

Question 3 (abby's evaluation)






We used this poster for inspiration because its from a slasher movie (the same genre as our film). We liked the font of the title and the idea of pictures of the characters but we used a screen shot of the characters with their backs to us so the threat isn't revealed until you watch the film. 


I liked this movie poster because the threat isn't revealed, you know she is female but don't know her features or her story. I also liked the references to the noose, its hanging at the bottom of the P in April Fool's Day and her hair is also shaped like a noose, implying a noose will be involved in a death in this film. 


Here is another movie poster, I didn't want to use this as inspiration as I thought it gave away too much about the threat and the weapon! I did like the tag line though, 'You've made it through Halloween, now try and survive Christmas.' which can be seen as a reference to the movie Halloween.
