feedback of STATIC







The feedback said that it was tecnicaly good but people didnt understand the story for the film but we had no time to make somthing to clarify it, also people didnt understand the title sequences but this is because of the format reduceing the quality.

I decided that our victims should be female as they are seen as weak and vunrable, this is great for  phcological horror, we needed somone who could show that they where powerless, our storybords and scripts show the weakness of the characters as they are un-aware of the threat that is attacking them, also we show that they are drinking alcohol, they are clearly not drunk but people know that alcohol can make people more vunrable.

our target reaserch shows us that the people who tend to watch phycological horrors are males aged 18- 24, we descovered this from our IMDB reaserch, our target audience matched this as our film involvled wommen as our main characters as this would interest men, the age rateing for our film is a 15 but 18-24 year olds are our main target audience.

The victim is her mid 30's, female and white,  she follows the tipical sereotype of a women, she cowers in a corner while the threat is breaking into the room she is hiding in, but at the end of the clip she breaks the stereotype by attacking her threat, this is not common in films as most women are scared of threats and are usualy powerless. the Threat is male,white and in his 40's, he follows the stereotypes of a strong male charictor as he is preforming a very physical task, breaking down the door with an axe is a action that would seam odd for the audience to watch.

There are two female victims in this clip, the first is a white women in her 30's , she is fitting most stereotypes of women, she is affraid and is pushed to the side and is out if focus this makes her seam un-important. the other woman is a countertype as she is a strong powerfull women compared to the first women,she is younger than the first women  but other than that she is almost the same. she has the most power from technical aspects but also from profession as she is a police officer, alothough this is normal in reality but is not usualy shown in films and tv ,she is made more inportant because she is more in focus, although she seams scared she has more power than the first women. The threat does not have a defined age,gender or race but i belive that the audience would see it as a countertype as it opposes the victims.

Static (the final film)



This is our final Film that we created STATIC, we created everything; the film,the titles and the sound track. The filming brought up a few issues but we adapted and overcame it (this will be covered in the evaluation) the editing was hard as we were unfamiliar with the editing equipment and was hard to use the effects.

davis films - production company research

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJspxq_btno


the production company Davis films always use the same bold font that is embossed so that it is able to stand out from the background. The colour of the logo is a metallic silver that is still very bright even for the titles of silent hill with the red and grey sky. the davis films titles for silent hill represent the film and the genre very well as it is very dark and moody, silent hill is a physiological horror so not the titles not showing monsters or gore links in with the film perfectly, also the the sky turning ash grey links in with the ash covered environments within silent hill. The title is centered so that it is the  main focus of the shot, the sky is an almost un-noticed background but it links the titles to the film.
davis films is currently working on silent hill 2 and have worked on Resident Evil: Extinction and Turn Left at the End of the World.
