Question 1 Evaluation of our 9 still images. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forns and conventions of real media products ?

The Title Of The Film
We decided that we would call our film ' Judgement of the People', we made this decision based on the fact we wanted it to be short, sweet and eye catching. If your title is not appealing people may not be interested right from the start. 'Judgement of the People' is a very good name for our genre, horror/thriller because the name doesn't really mean anything and makes the audience think a lot in to it, it is also makes them feel a little bit weary and uncertain and this is the effect we wanted with our title. In our film our titles come up when the main character eye is red (shot 4) this is a great time for the titles to come up because it shows the audience that something is not quite right and it makes them feel uneasy.

Setting/Location
We had a perfect place for our location we went to a long driveway that looks very quite and mysterious. It was a great place to shoot our opening scene because this is what you would expect to see in this type of genre. We did have a few problems with our setting because we wanted to film in the dark but the cameras were not really good enough to do this, so on our scenery we had to make it look darker by adding in mist and fog and make it generally darker, as you can see in shots(5-6-7).

Costumes and Props
In our film we didn't have a lot of outgoing costumes or props but we had the essentials. Most of our characters we wearing normal everyday clothing to make it look like a normal day apart from one. The main character was the same person but we she her getting changed into a vampire and there she has darker and more threaten clothing to frighten the audience a bit, all of the other characters just look normal. We didn't have many props but we had what we need, we uses red contacts, fake blood and a car that you can see in shots(1-2-4-8).

Camerawork and EditingIn our opening scene we used lots of different camera shots and used different angles. Our first shot is a medium shot of the girl in the window, we used a lot of theses shots because we didn't need to have the whole body in the shot and especial on this one because it was shot from outside the window. Shot(1) We also used lots of close ups, the first being the bloody hand print on the window which creates a great dramatic moment and leaves the audience on edge. Shot (2). Shot 3 is a medium of me in the dark and you can see that something is not right. The next and most important close i believe is the close up of my eye, instantly we know that this is out of the ordinary and makes the readers feel uneasy shot (4). Shot 5 is an establishing shot of our location for our film. Shot 6 is also an establishing shot but it is also a long shot of three characters walking down the drive. Shot 7 is is a long shot of me and Andree. Shot 8 is a median shot of the two three boys putting me into a car. Shot 9 is also a median shot of Andre and me on a table.
 Title Font and Style
It took us a while to decided what type of title we wanted because we wanted it to look good and in the end i think the titles look good, we decided that we would have our titles in red to contrast the colour of the eye and the blood. It makes it like in with our film. Shots (4-5-6)

Story and How The Opening Sets It Up
Our story line was based on the horror genre. Our opening scene set the mood for our story, we see a young girl getting changed into a vampire and we see three young men trying to see what is wrong. This creates a great start for our film showing the audience that this is going to be a difficult time ahead for the three young men.

Genre and How The Opening Suggests It
Our film is of the genre horror. You can tell this straight away because in our opening scene we have creapy men, fake blood, red eyes and vampires. Theses are all typicly objects and people that you would expect to see in a horror film.
How The Characters Are Introduced
Each character is introduced in there own way, we open with the main character being normal and it looks like a normal night with her on her phone but the you see a dark figure and we know then that something in not right. He bites her then we see the main character change into something not quite right, we can tell this when we see the close up of her eye. The next characters we see our the three young men walking down the drive way and we know they are a bit suspicious because they all have there hoods up and walk really wary way. Shot (6).

Special Effects
We didn't use many special effects but we did use a few jump cuts to emphasise the fact that these people are not in the ordinary and make the audience believe it more.
