In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


After choosing a genre we all wanted to work with we decided to research the genre, after doing so we decided to challenge the general conventions that are present in horror films. Normally females are portrayed as weak compared to men after seeing this convention we decided to challenge it by casting females for both the main protagonist and the antagonist. We show the protagonist as being a strong female as she is the one who leads the way into the woods. If we followed the normal conventions of a horror film this would be the other around and the female would be less willing to go into the woods. Although we have followed certain conventions of a horror with our titles. It’s very common that horror movies have titles which are red. We decided to follow this convention as although it was typical it fit the message and theme we had in our opening. Another convention we followed was with the location. The reason we decided not to challenge this convention was because we didn't think the story of the opening would make as much sense if it was set in another location, due to it making sense we decided to use the woods as the location for the scene like many horror films do.We also used dramatic music in the opening this was another way we followed conventions of a horror film. Many horror films use dramatic music to create tension which diegetic sounds in a scene cannot produce. Our choice of non diegetic music helped set the tone of our opening from the beginning. Also we developed the idea of following the few horror films which start with scenes of horror and gore at the start of a film. We decided to do this as not many films decide to do this and it would make our media product stand out compared to others.



How does your media product represent particular social groups?

We used our media product to represent social groups in different ways compare to what they are often shown like in films. A clear example of this is the role of the protagonist. Usually the protagonist is a male in horror films but we chose to chose a female. By choosing a female we portrayed women as strong and headstrong as it is the female character who leads the way. We also show women as powerful as our antagonist is also a female. This choice could be seen to represent women as strong and somewhat evil. The choice of protagonist and antagonist’s both being female could be used to show the devil and angel concept as one character is good and the other is evil. We show men as somewhat weak in comparison to females as the dead man is shown to have been killed and now being eaten by the female zombie. Men are also shown as weak as Leo is killed before Kate. This portrayal of men is very uncommon and goes against the conventions set in the average horror. Although when it came to social class we conformed to horror conventions in using working class characters. Also we conformed with the age we chose to portray the characters. We decided to do this as the age of the characters seemed fitting so our audience could relate to characters their own age and their own social grade.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

As our film is a horror a good choice of Production Company to distribute our film would be Hammer Film Productions. The reason behind is because this company produce a lot of British horror films which our product is. Although the film could have backing from Film4 as they produce various low budget films which are either released into the cinemas or broadcasted on TV. The smaller production company may be more realistic as our film doesn’t include many effects or props which may be included in bigger productions which are distributed through Hammer Film Productions. Both choices seem good as both companies produce films like our own.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

For our film our target audience would be in the 18 to 24 bracket. Our film would most likely be given an 18 rating by the BBFC, the age bracket was heightened due to the gore which our film had. The reason we decided to have our target audience in this age range was because the characters in the film were in the same age group, due to this the audience would find the characters more relatable. Our product would also be more aimed at males, this is because figures show that more males than females go to watch horror films, although our product isn’t clearly directed at a single sex. Our film is also aimed at social grades C and below the decision behind this was more lower class people watch horrors compared to upper classes. Also the characters which are in our product come from this social background which once again would allow the audience to relate to the characters in the film more compared to if they were from the A band of the social class scale.

How did you attract/address your audience? 

We decided to attract our audience through its storyline mostly as a zombie disaster. We saw this as a storyline which would intrigue both males and females although males seem to show a keener interest in the zombie storyline than females. We also hoped that the name of the film would intrigue an audience into watching the film as the name ‘The Infestation’ catches an eye with people wanting to know more about what ‘the infestation’ is. Also the titles we used with their font and colour told the audience that the film was horror. If we were able to create a promotional campaign to promote the film the best way to get our audience would be through the use of viral marketing. With this we could create websites that could show people who are in the storyline. Pops ups and trailers on websites such as youtube or vimeo would also be a good way to attract viewers to watching the film. Although our audience would most likely be more affected by viral marketing traditional marketing would be good to use also as this could itself attract a larger audience. Through traditional marketing posters and ads in magazines could be used.




What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

After creating a film I have a better knowledge on how to use many tools which I had to use to produce my media product. Before my preliminary task I personally didn’t know to set up a tripod. Now I know how to easily set up a tripod and how to use it to create different shots. I also have a better knowledge of how to use a mini DV camera, before creating my film I had no prior knowledge of how to use a mini DV camera. Now I find it easy to record and watch back my footage. From using the mini DV camera and tripod I learnt how to create tilt shots, pans, tracking shots and how to frame a shot. While using the mini DV camera we used tapes opposed to SD cards, this was because it was easier to import footage in the editing suite. If the equipment was available it would have been nice to use SD cards. When it came to editing I like most people hadn’t ever used Final Cut Pro, using this gave me a different experience into how films can be edited as previously I had only used editing software such as Windows Movie Maker which is a much lower standard than Final Cut Pro. Through the use of Final Cut Pro I have learnt how to import footage; cut footage; drag and drop it onto a time line; how to import music for use on our product; how to add text; to change the speed of shots; how to change the colour of shots; and how to change the audience pitches on a clip. My new knowledge which I have gathered over the time of creating my media product has given me a glimpse into how films are made on a small budget and production scale, my knowledge has also given me an idea just how much work goes into creating films on many different scales. Also to record progress of my work I used blogspot. Before hand I hadn’t any knowledge of how to set up a blog let alone post blogs. It took me a while to get used to the site but I soon learnt how to upload and edit posts. I also learnt how to embed videos and pictures to make my blog look professional.



Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Looking back at my preliminary task I feel I have greatly improved since. As I created my media product with two other members of the group I learnt how to work as a group and how to compromise so we could all put our ideas into our product. I liked working as a group as we could have the best ideas as 3 minds are better than 1. As I worked on my media product I learnt the basics of film making. I now know how to use a mini DV camera properly, how to insert a tape into the camera, how to zoom in and out and how to operate a camera basically. Also I learnt how to film from different angles and shots and also how to frame shots properly. In the preliminary task we filmed a scene which included match on action, and I followed the 180 degree rule. From this task I also learnt how to execute shots properly. After gaining new skills I was able to use these skills in my final media product which allowed me to create good shots and film good footage. I used my newly learnt skills to help me through filming my final media piece. With the basic knowledge I created footage with a variety of shot ranges. Throughout my preliminary task and filming my final product I made mistakes, although thanks to these mistakes I learnt more. Because of mistakes which made it improved my skills. With all that I have learnt over the time of my preliminary task and first attempts at filming helped produced a good final piece.

Production Schedule

Originally as a group we decided to have a very simple production schedule which contained only one filming date which was March 1st. This was because we believed we could film all of the shots needed in one session and would prevent continuity errors. This later changed.

After reviewing the material we shot on our film date we decided it wasn't up to the standard we wanted and required for our film opening and we decided to reshoot everything as we had to time to do so. There were many reasons for the reshoot including lighting problems, dialogue problems and other errors.

Because of the problems we encounter the first time we filmed we decided to treat it as a rehearsal so our next lot of shooting would be better and would eliminate the chance of simple errors. As we had more experience it gave us an idea to how long each shot would take to shoot and gave us a more clear idea of what we were doing and in what location, thus producing better shots.

For the second time we decided to shoot we thought it'd be best to create a detailed production schedule that detailed what types of shots we were going to use, the script which would be included in the scene and who was filming. Thanks to this schedule it made it easier to film quickly and achieve better shots as we were all more organized.

Although we were organized we unfortunately we had to reshoot one scene, this was because after viewing the footage we didn't think the dialogue was appropiate for the scene. But luckily because we had enough time still we were able to reshoot these scenes and easily edit them into our final piece.

Target Audience

Originally we planned to have our target audience to be in the age range 16-24 after the results of the survey. But this later changed due to the gore we had included within our opening which would be given an 18 rating if rated by the British Board of Film Classification instead of the 15 rating we originally aimed for. Because of this we changed our target audience to 18-24 as these audience members would legally be able to view the film.

The film wasn't aimed specifically at one gender. the decision behind this was because nowadays both male and females like horror films. Although our film may appear to be aimed at the female group of audience viewers as the main protagonist is female as is the antagonist. Also it can be seen that women are portrayed as more powerful than the men in the opening.

The Company Logos

The main company name was 'BMF Studios'.

We used a logo as we decided the company's background would be from Birmingham, like we are as a group. The word BMF originated from our college's name which is Birmingham Metropolitan College (BMC). So we decided to substitute the word college for films and the name for our studio was created. BMF Studios.

Originally the image we used was of an average picture of the Birmingham bull outside the Bullring with shoppers also in the shot. We then chose to edit the image so there was no distraction from the main and prominent image of the bull.

Another reason behind the choice of the bull is the fact bulls are seen as a strong animal which is the image we wanted to give our company.

This was the original image we used.

We then edited this image to create this logo for our film. We kept to the general colour of the Birmingham bull for this logo as it is an image most people will recognize and it made the letters BMF stand out more against it than if we had the bull red.

As a group we then decided to create another studio logo as many film have more than one studio working on a film at once. We continued with our bull theme and combined our last names (Sheasby, Owen and Slater) to create S.O.S Productions. There is a slight variation between the BMF Studios logo and this one as the bull is red here. The decision behind this was to set the scene of what type of film we were producing and what type of film this company would make which is horror.

After having similar logos we decided to create an image which would go between the two in a transition. For this image we decided to go with a simple black and white effect on the image of the bull.

Props, Makeup and Costume

Props

We used a basic selection of props and make up in our production.

The reason behind this is because we wanted to give our film a more stripped back feel and props didn't play a big part in the storyline.

One of our props was the use of fake blood. We decided to create our own fake blood opposed to buy it prepared as it gave us the chance to choice what type of consistency we wanted it to be.

To create the fake blood we used;

• Red food colouring
• Blue food colouring
• Golden syrup
• Water
• Flour

This was our end result, a product that was easy to make and looked like real blood.

Another prop we decided to make ourselves was guts for the dead person. These also were made simply. We made these guts from soaking rolled up kitchen tissue in fake blood.

Here is a picture of our home made fake guts on Jack who played the dead person.

Make up

Originally we intended to use more make up than in our final product than we actually did. 

The first time we filmed we had more make up on our zombies and they looked like this: 

This look was achieved by using tissue, glue and paint. The problem with this look was that the actresses couldn't move their face and make good facial expressions due to the amount of glue and tissue which was on their faces. Also the actresses identities weren't too distinguishable with this amount of makeup covering their faces. After we also decided the colour wasn't appropriate. We also thought as a group that the zombies didn't show up on camera as well as we wanted them too. After looking at all these disadvantages we decided to change the way we used make up on the actors who played the zombies.

It was then we decided to go for a more toned down make up look. In our final product our zombie looks like this:

With this look it gave more of a 'just dead' look which was more appropriate. Also this makeup look was easier for the actress to make facial expressions as this makeup look consisted of mineral powder and fake blood. The advantage of this makeup look was that it was more thought out compared to the first. Also with this look it was easy to apply to the actor who was playing the dead person. Just with the other actor the makeup was lighter so there was a link between the dead person and then the dead person becoming a zombie which is shown at the end of our opening.

Costume

For our choice of costume we decided to choose simple items which had good representations.

For one of the role of Kate we had the actress dressed in a white t shirt, with a red one over the top paired with jeans and converse shoes. These items each had connotations behind them. The white t shirt symbolised the character's purity, innocence and naivety. Whereas the red shirt which was placed over the white shirt symbolised impending danger and how she was the cause of this as it is her idea to go into the woods. The jeans were used to show her youthfulness as were the shoes.

The character of Leo's costume was also used in the same way. He wore a white t shirt which showed he was a pure and good character but when he later put on a black hoodie this also shown the danger which would unfold ahead.

When it came to the character of the zombie we decided to go with a very 'teenage' look by putting the actress in a costume consisting of a black hoodie with the word 'DEAD!' on it; which was also ironic as the character is dead; jeans and some plain shoes. The costume can be seen as one typical to be worn by a teenager.

For the character of the dead person we decided to choose a white shirt which was torn. This showed how his purity had been ripped away from him by the zombie. With the fake blood on the shirt also it showed danger and death.

Order of Titles

While editing we had to decide what order our titles would appear in.

For this we decided to follow the basic rules of film editing in what order they would go in. We decided this as if a different order was followed the audience could perhaps be left disorientated.

To start off our film we used our company logos as our studios.

Here is the order we had our titles in:

BMF Films
SOS Productions
Starring Faye Slater
Shaun Thompson
Written By Sarah Winnit
Camera Person Laura Sheasby
Music By Oscar Worthington
Produced By Jack Wright
Directed By Liam Owen

Role Allocation

For our role allocation we decided to use our best strengths to produce a decent production.

We decided we didn't want a huge team. This reason behind this was the more people there were involved the more likely people would let the three of us down or cause more hassle than what was needed. Also the small team gave the feel of a low budget film, which essentially we were.

We all wanted to film a little so we decided that we could all take turns. We also had help off a friend of the group, Jack Wright. After the first time we filmed we then decided that the camera work was best done by both Liam and Jack so we decided to give the roles of camera people to them.

The make up for the first lot of filming was done by our friends Molly Glave and Sam Houseago, although I gave them the idea of how to do it from a video I saw on the internet. Another role adjustment which was made after the first lot of filming was those who did the make up. This was because the make up wasn't how we expected it to be when we watched the footage back. We then opted to go for a simpler style of make up which was done by both myself and Jack. Our new make up choice looked more real and as if the zombie was dead and unlike the first look it didn't look like we were trying to parody a zombie film.

Originally me and Jack were supposed to both act as the couple but this was changed on set as it didn't feel as if there was a believable chemistry going on. After talking about what we could do we decided to have Jack and Liam switch roles. With Liam acting as the boyfriend the chemistry was more believable.

We decided to cast Laura as the zombie as from the start we all wanted to have a small role in our production. We came up with the idea of all having a part in our film from famous directors like Wes Craven who sometimes has a cameo role in his films.

As a group we gave the role of the writer to Liam, this was because between the three of us he was the more creative when it came to that subject. This is also the reason we designated the role of being the composer to him as well.

With the editing we decided to split this role between us, this was because we could use  and combine our individual strengths at editing opposed to just having one person do all the work.

Here is an easy to read list of the final roles:

Faye Slater:            Actress,  Editor, Make Up Artist
Liam Owen:           Actor, Camera Person, Writer, Composer and Editor
Laura Sheasby:      Actress, Editor, Make Up Assistant
Jack Wright:           Actor, Camera Person, Make Up Artist

Finding The Location

It didn't take us long to find our location.

As shown in the storyboard we decided to film in a parklands area as this would give an eerier effect to our storyline.

As a group we researched areas we could film in before hand before making a decision. We looked at filming in Red House Park and Sutton Park. After consideration of the location in relation to our college we chose to film in Sutton Park. This was easier accessible for all of the team members and cast.

We also admired the nature and landscaping more which was found in Sutton Park compared to Red House Park. Sutton Park's landscaping provided more trees and grassy areas to film in compared to Red House Park. This was one of the key reasons into why we chose Sutton Park.

During one of our many trips to Sutton Park for location finding we recorded a video and discussed possible ideas.

The Storyboard

We created a storyboard as this would be an easy way to show our ideas visually before filming began.

In the storyboard we used this to give ourselves an outline of the story which would unfold in our opening sequence, also this gave us an idea of what type of shots we wanted to use in our final piece. The storyboard also became use as a guide to how we would edit our film as it gave us an outline of how the scenes would be put together in the final piece. The storyboard was also a basic guide to how we would shoot our film.

Although with all films our final product differs from the original storyboard, this is due to the fact we came up with better ideas at a later date and on set.

The Pitches

As a group we had to come up with a few pitches for film ideas. We had to create a pitch for each of the three genres.

During this we cast the roles with celebrities, this would then change when we decided to go through with one idea which would become our finished film opening.

 

Our idea for a rom-com was one which broke the conventions of the genre. The reason we decided to break conventions with our idea was because many film which break conventions can potentially be incredibly successful. For the lead roles we cast Colin Firth; an actor renown for his roles in various rom-coms; and Robert Pattinson; an up and coming actor in rom-com films. The story we decide to go with for our rom-com pitch was that the two lead men became a homosexual couple. We decided to make this pitch as many rom-coms only consist of heterosexual couples, which can be seen as odd as part of the target audience for rom-coms are gay men. The story we decided to pitch was that Daniel (Pattinson) is a young self made millionaire who hires a new experienced middle age assistant George (Firth) who's marriage is breaking down due to his sexuality and his life isn't going well either. After a few months working together the two men begin to realise their feelings for each other and fall in love.

The thriller pitch we came up with an idea which included the actresses Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway. This pitch was that Sarah (Jolie) traumatised by the death of her boyfriend becomes a psychopathic killer. Her sister Alexis (Hathaway) is the detective on the murder case trying to find the killer. But little does Alexis know that the killer is her own sister.

 

The horror pitch we came up with had the main roles played by Blake Lively and Malin Akerman. The story we went with is that an experiment made by young scientist Ava (Lively) goes terribly wrong. While Ava is trying to find a cure for Elena (Akerman) her experiment goes wrong and she creates a terrible disease which turns Elena into an undead zombie. The virus is leaked from the lab and starts to infect the residents near the lab.

Codes and Conventions

In this genre the film tries to create fear and tension in viewer’s feelings by turning everyday situations into horrific events.

They often start with a general introduction into the protagonist’s life.
Type of bizarre murder/death – killer maybe known or unknown
Credits follow horror theme – creepy font, title movement, image eg pumpkin, weapon, etc
Main characters introduced – young/ youthful
Teenage kids – easy target also vulnerable – home alone
Teenagers usually a couple – football jock boyfriend and cheerleader blonde bimbo girlfriend.
Mysterious phone calls – dubbed sinister voice “Who’s There…?”
Family ties broken
Sometimes unsuccessful acts of heroism
Victim unprotected
Superhuman killer

Christian Metz's Genre Development Theory

The Metz theory was made by Christian Metz who explored genre development. In his theory he suggested that each genre passes through 4 stages.
These stages are;
1) The experimental
2) The classic
3) The parody
4) The deconstruction

These stages are most easily recognized in the horror genre.

The experimental stage is about the first films made in a genre. During this stage films are more experimental so different narratives and themes are explored. This experimentation helps develop and formalize the basic conventions.
Examples of films from this stage in the horror genre are:

• Nosferatu
• The Cabinet of Dr Caligari

The classic stage is the phase in which a film genre has well established the general conventions. It also normally the stage in which the genre is at its most successful and defining period of time.
Examples of films from this stage in the horror genre are:

• Frankenstein
• Dracula

The parody stage is when other films mimic the conventions normally in a comedic way.
Examples of films from this stage in the horror genre are:

• Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein
• Beetlejuice

The deconstruction stage is when films take different parts which are normally the generic elements and amalgamate them into dividing sub genres.
Examples of films from this stage in the horror genre are:

• Se7en
• The Blair Witch Project

Horror Mood Board

I chose to include this image in my mood board as often there is a scene within a horror film set in the woods. It's a very typical location used in many horror films.

Also another typical location used in horror films are old houses, ones which often give the viewer a creepy or eerie vibe, like this one from the Amityville horror.

These two images show very classic protagonists in horror films. These being Frankenstien's monster and Dracula.

Thriller Mood Board

The image of two actors dressed as detectives. In thriller films there are often characters from this stereotype. Usually they are solving murders that are involved in the film or other events that are the focal point in the film.

Many thrillers include different protagonists. Often they are male but some films break conventions and use female protagonist.

There are many different types are antagonists, ones which are clearly mentally unstable to others and ones which aren't obviously unstable.

Here is a very famous actor for his roles in thriller films. Anthony Hopkins most notable character is Hanibal Lector.

Thriller films often have scenes which are filmed in alleyways, the use of such a location creates a dark and eerie feel to a film.

Romantic Comedy Mood Board

This is an image of a couple about to embrace in a kiss, I thought this was a good image to have in my moodboard. Also the actor in this picture is Colin Firth, an actor well reknown for his participation in romantic comedies over the years. This particular shot is from the film Love Actually.

The image of flowers is a stereotypical of romantic comedies. The symbolisim of the flowers are love which is further backed up by the choice of colour.

I decided to include these images of an engagement ring and bride and groom as another cliche of a romantic comedy is that there is usually some sort of involvment of a wedding, be this a protagonist's dream to get married or another charactor actually getting married.

I decide to include images of chocolate covered strawberries and a box of chocolates in my mood board because these items give off a romantic feel. These are also used frequently in the romantic comedy genre as they are ofcourse meant to be romantic.

There are pictures of couples in my mood board as these are part of the foundation of a romantic comedy as there is always a couple, but they are often single before meeting during the film. These two images are of a young teen couple and Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. A descision behind this choice is as some films decide to use different age groups for their protagonists.

I chose to include the images of these two actors as they are in various romantic comedies. Colin Firth has been in many British romantic comedies, such as Bridget Jones' Diary , Bridet Jones' Diary: Edge of Reason and Love Actually. Whereas Jennifer Aniston has been in various American romantic comedies. Her titles include The Break-Up, He's Just Not That Into You and The Bounty Hunter.

 

These images are on my mood board as they are typical locations for romantic comedies to be set. Often they are set in the city but have scenes at a countryside location.

The reason this image is in my mood board is because hands symbolise unity and in romantic comedies there is always a couple who become united by the end.
