Review of Questionnaire

Our Questionnaire has shown us a few important things about what the audience prefers in a film. From the answers we know that the most preferred genres are romance and thriller. We have also found out that a good film opening should be between 4 to 6 minutes long, and the most people pay attention to music in films.
This information we have gathered will guide us on how to make a good film opening for our final project that others will enjoy.

Final idea

Horror, mass murderer who  wears a mask, set in some woods. In the opening they are walking in a dark woodland area. They are coming out of a party. For some reason they have to walk back another way, through the dark. Rumour has there is a killer in the area. Mysterious music in the background while walking to set atmosphere. Long shot of them walking laughing and joking, then the killer emerges walks past the camera and mysterious music sets atmosphere. Then one person gets caught by killer, the other run off, camera follows one running then they end up at dead end and also get killed.

Questionnaire

This picture shows our results of our questionnaire which we handed around the school finding out what people think makes a good film.

Preliminary

Camera Angles

Extreme long shot
this can be taken up to a quarter of a mile away it is normally used to set the scene (also known as an establishing shot). an example of this is the outside of a building, or a landscape.



Long shot
shows the image as approximately "life" size corresponding to the real distance between the audience and the screen in a cinema. It shows the entire human body, with the head at the top of the frame and the feet at the bottom.

Medium shot
shows a figure from the knees/waist up and is normally used for dialogue scenes, or to show some detail of action. The detail in the background is minimal, probably because location has been established earlier in the scene, the audience already know where they are and now want to focus on dialogue.

Close up
This shows very little background and concentrates on either a face or a specific detail of mise en scene. everything else is just a blur in the background.



Extreme close up
As its name suggests an extreme version of the close up, generally magnifying beyond what the human eye would experience in reality. an extreme close up in reality. an extreme close up of a face, for instance, would show only the mouth or eyes with no background detail whatsoever.
