My presentation

I presented my presentation for the inspector sands audio visual promo and received feed back about my presentation. The good points of m presentation were that the genre, style and target audience was covered clearly, The locations were clearly explained and justified, I had a clear tie to the visuals of the piece and how I would like it to be shot, the distribution was covered well, the pre and post production timescales were planned well and the legal aspect was covered mostly well. The points that I need to work on are, budget as the budget I had planned of was far to low for what I had planned and I had not take aspects into account, my production time was to short to make a full promo and I need to think of contingency plans for this time, I need to look more into gaining permissions for locations especially in locations like Vauxhall bridge if I intend of filming in front the MI6 building and I need to look into a greater variety of equipment so I am not limiting myself with what shots I can achieve. In conclusion I feel the presentation went well and I feel to improve I need to spend more time looking into what it would actually require to make the product I want instead of what I assume it requires.

MUSIC VIDEO/TRAILER SYNOPSIS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE BRIEF

Chris Hardwick is a former MI6 agent who refused to follow orders was forced to change his name and live a completely different life  as an accountant, because he refused to seen an innocent man killed because it was seen to be convenient. He now has to hide from some of the world’s best hitmen, but it's only a matter of time until the corrupt system that he spent years hiding from comes looking for him and the people he loves, he must use his deadly skills and wit to stay alive.

KEY MILESTONES

I aim to have the product finished in 12 months’ time in that time I want to have all of the pre-production materials complete by the end of august at the latest and have actors cast to play the parts to start filming in September and have the final scene shot 2 days after we travel to location (London) and then move in to post production where we will spend 1 month editing and mastering the footage to have a promo ready for release by October.

EQUIPMENT

·        DSLR Camera- To film the footage

·        SD card- to store the footage on the camera

·        Tripod-to hold the camera steady

·        Camera steady- to move the camera freely without it looking shakey

·        Microphone- to record sound

PROPS

For this production I will be requiring things commonly associated with crime and violence to create the type of Mise en scene my trailer requires to create meaning for the audience and to show the genre to make my product I will require bank firing guns, blank bullets, magazines and handcuffs. I have selected these items because it has clear connotations of what I am trying to communicate to my audience and these items are very common in the genre and allows me to use intertextuality.

 MODELS

·        actors required to play Chris and also extras i.e. emergency services and other agents.

HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.

·        Extreme caution must be taken when using blank of dummy weapons when pointing in jest so we are not to harm anyone or be mistaken for real violence.

Chris Hardwick is a former MI6 agent who refused to follow orders was forced to change his name and live a completely different life as an accountant to hide from some of the worlds best hitmen, but it's only a matter of time until the corrupt system that he spent years hiding from comes looking for him and the people he loves, he must use his deadly skills and wit to stay alive.

Strength

• genres offer comfortable reassurance
• Intertextuality from media products that went before i.e. James Bond, Mission Impossible etc.
  
• Offers emotional pleasure- happy, sad and visceral pleasures- excitement, fear, laughter

Weakness

• films in this genre are quite common

Crime/thriller
Jimmy is a geeky nerd in an a typical American high school, he always gets picked on and is always belittled by the popular kids, but one cold winters afternoon the school is invaded by another student, Phil Hartley wearing a long black trench coat and carrying a sawn of shot gun, Jimmy must use his quick thinking, ingenuity and intelligence to save as many people as he can before they get found.  


Strength

• The geeky kid saving the day (underdog) is an enigma code which makes the audience think and entices them in.

Weakness

• The use of prop/blank firing weapons could present logistical problems.
• we would need to be careful on moral and ethical grounds as it is representing children in life or death situations.
