TRAFFICK'D
here is the final product of a crime genre film it starts of with the main protagonist who is the privet eye and then has a flash back of the first victim . Then there is a shot of the murder in action you learn while listing to the start of the prelim what has happened and what they already know . Also you find out straight away at the start what the theme is all about such as organ trafficking .

Question 7- looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to your final product?
here are a few shots of the final sequence.
each shot fades in and out to reveal what happens.
title sequence of name of director

In this task i encountered many problems in filming and editing .
such as :
actors : many of the actors i asked to use kept canceling on me so i ended up having to change who was who and then getting other people in to play ceritn parts and make sure they knew what they were doing .
camera : learning how to use the media cameras as i have never used them before . I had to learn how to turn the camera on and how to put the tapes in and out as well as playing the footage back and also learning to work the tripod .
editting : I had never edited before and was adding in shot in the wrong place such as cutting off words by mistake and learning how to drag the shots to where i wanted them . I also had to learn how to add music to the shots . I kept adding the wrong type of music and then finding the music i needed and wanted for each shot as it was hard to film on iTunes and you tube as well as the music ed had in the end i had to record my own.
I had a a bit of trouble with my first time filming as the shots weren't usable due to the shaky camera movements because i dint use a tripod. also the shot of the privet eye the first time is shot it the footage was lost due to the tape not working while it was being recorded and then the second time shooting it we had to use a mic and the the person i asked to help hold the mic held it to far away from bev while she was saying her dialog.

Improvements made was re shooting the forest scene again and then noting using the the scene i shot which was of a death scene so i used the shot of a body from that scene in between the Private eye scene so it looked like a flash back. I also brightened up the shot in the privet eye scene , made the sound louder.I also made the sound louder so that you can here bevs dialog. Also made the forest scene darker and made my own music / sound effects for the shots .
I have learnt how to used the equipment such as camera, tripodd, editing adobe premier pro.
I have also learnt all the hard work gone in to each shot . How each prop and costume used in a scene helps bring it all together every little detli on to the background props help bring the scene together and make the audeance feel what you wanted them to feel.Also how torecord sound you need when you cant find it how you can use the media mic to recoredceitratin sound and how to create ceirtein sound's from little things such as for foot steps i used walking through leave to collecet sound for the forest for when the mdere is runnng so the audeance can hear them.
here are a few shots of the final sequence.
each shot fades in and out to reveal what happens.

Question 6-what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product ?
CAMERA
I used this to shoot/ film the shots i needed for my prelim band get the camera angles needed for the shots .
This is the media camera I used to film and create all the shots for my prelim. It tok me some time to learn how to use the camera as I hadn't used it before but eventually lent how to turn it on and record as well as play back.
ADOBE PREMIERE PRO
I used this to edit my prelim with the help of ed . I learnt how to add music and then combine and mash cretin bits together as well as editing the shot such as chopping, brighten the shot , darkening ect . I had never edited before and learnt quite quickly how to use all of the soft wear such as importing music and sound effects in to the sound effects file I had created in my file. Also I learnt how to import footage from the tapes I recorded on using a camera as well as a special diveice also how to chop a scene and also add effects such as brightness, darken the screen, black and white as well as editing any audio recorded such as in the privet eye scene so that the audeance can hear what she is saying. I also learnt how to add titles and names to scenes as well also how to add effects to them to make them more interesting . Also how to edit sound how to chop and combine as well as mix sound effects as well as tens music together so it all happens on cue in the scene. also how to drag down in to the time line the scenes and also the sound effects.Also how to drag not only the clips but the diagetic and non-diagetic sound i was using in to the time line. Also how to do a hut shot using the editing by adding in a short clip of what the protagonist is talking about .
BLOGGER
I used this to record everything i was doing and how well it was going how well its wasn't going as well as recording what changed . I have never used blogger before and there for learnt how to create a blog on blogger using a username and password that I had just made as bev will be using it after to mark me on my evaluation. also I have learnt to add pictures and videos as well as links to the blog to help with my presentation. Also I was able to use blogger properly being able to add to information needed and also write down what i have done in preparation as well as during and after including a finished product. I have also included in the blog what dint go well during the processes.
WEBSITE
you tube and iTunes
I have used this to research crime films and programs as well as music. I had used youtube before this assiment but never I tunes so I learnt how to find music on the website first before I try ed to get it in preparation for the prelim and on YouTube I was able to find music I could use as well as trailers I could import for examples and also inspiration for the prelim as well as to find my prelim in the end of the proseces in order to get the screen shots.
TRIPOD
I used this to hold the camera to record the shots .I learnt how to use this and how to put the tripod up on a certain level and also how to attache the camera and use it to steady the shot and how you can create certain shots using the tripod. also how to acheve a stead shot as well as a titling effect on the camera during filming for certain shots . I learnt its eraser to get the shots you want using a tripod.
RECORDING MIC

I had to record some sounds needed for the prelim due to not being able to find the right ones also i used the mic to record dialog with bev for one of the shots.I learnt how to upload the sound on to the adobe pro for me to use in the prelim as well as what sound can be used for what such as crunching of leaves can be used as footsteps.
Script
This script I used to keep on track and make sure the actors knew what they were saying . and also how there characters should be portrayed. I have keep t the script to s short and essayer plot such as an privet eye trying to solve a murder case and also the killer is no ordinary killer but he traffics his victims organs.I
had never created a scriped before and there fore kept each line of dialog ease to remember encase the actor i was using was to busy to learn it.
