1) In our planning we said that we would film in the evening/night time to get a more stereotypical perspective to the film. But we all decided that it was much harder to do that so in my editing I changed the effect to black and white, which gave the evening time effect. The iconography we used was pretty basic due to the level of resources we had. This was filmed in a field near our school to make it easier to get in and out and upload of footage on the computers.
2) This is a quick one second shot of one of the tools used in my film. I used a 'lens flare' on adobe premier pro as an effect for a quick flash. The second the audience see's this get them thinking if that was an axe or not. This will create a sense of mystery as they will be wondering if it was or not. This also connotes to the audience that something that happens later on in the film is going to involved this prop. The shot before this is of the murderer using the pick axe, but just digging up. So to the audience that doesn't show that it is anything that should be concentrated on until the quick flash, which then gets the audience thinking and i have used repetition of the prop.
3) As a group we all discussed how both the title sequence and the opening of the film were just as importantn as each other. So when we introced the first character, we also introduced the first weapon that will be used, and then further in, more weapons are introduced. This shot is a long shot of the murderer putting a weapon into the car boot. We purposly hid the weapon to create a sense of mystery for the viewer.
4) In our panning we wrote down many different shots that we wanted to do in our film. This reverse camera shot was used to show the front of the murderer but not enough to see his face to also create a sense of mystery. The tool box is then placed on top of the camera which creates a black out with out the use of editing. This shot also has an a title screen added on this shot to show our cast.
5) This was also one of the shot we planned to do. This is a establishing shot of the car pulling away and the enviroment it is in. We did the shot of the car pulling away at high speed to show he is trying to get away from someone. We made this shot establishing to show the vegatation and scenery. The scenery shows an isolated area in a woods with not many places to run. Their is also a title screen on this shot to show our actors.
6) In our planning we planned to show different weapons, but for a split second. this creates a sense of mystery as the audience are not to sure on what they have just seen but they can see a sharp edge. This will keep the audience interested as they know this is going to be used later on in the film but they do not know exactly what it is. We also used a 'lens flare' from adobe premier pro to create a flash to draw in the viewer attention and show this is important.
7) I came up with the title 'Tool Massacre' due to the plot of my film. I used a title screen with a plain black background. I used black as this colour connotes evil and death. The title is written in a mysterious and confusing font. This is to make the audience concentrate to be able to read it. This was in a different font the first time around but due to feedback i changed it as it was hard to read. The title is in a bright white colour to contrast against the black background so it stands out to the viewer.
8) This is a mid shot of our two news reporters. They are both dresses in formal clothes, e.g. shirt, tie. This shot was improved due to feedback. Their is now a 'news at 5 past 5' symbol in the top right corner to make it more presentable and create a sense of realism. This news report was filmed was three different angles to create another sense of realism just as a real news report would be.
9) This mid shot is a follow up from shot '8'. During the news report one of the reporters says "e will now go to our reporter live at the scene". this shot was filmed with traffic in the background to create a sense of realism. Their is a moving banner along the bottem of the screen, reiterating what the news reported is saying. We also used this incase any death/disabled people were watching. You can see she is in the same scene due to the scenery behind her.
