'Insiders' Storyboard

This is mine and Lauren's story board for our film opening called 'Insiders'. It really helped to map out our opening as we know have a much better idea of what we want our film opening to look like but also makes us much more organised!

Harry Potter trip

A couple of weeks ago we visited the warner bro's studio and had a tour of Harry Potter. It was really interesting to see how they created everything and how effort went into every single costume, prop and scene, which I was surprised to learn how long it really took. Whilst we were there we had a short lesson, learning about target audience of films, advertisement and budgets of many of the harry potter films. What I was most surprised to learn was that the majority of films are aimed at men ages 12-24, including romance films, which I would not have expected. Because of learning this fact about target audience, Lauren and I will try aim our film opening at men from this age range. This is partly why we are including a large amount of crime and action within our film opening. Here is a short video of some clips and photos we took throughout our trip!

However now film making has developed so we now have a aesthetic style of filming, showing exactly what we see on camera.  Film makers now use a number of different shots to film a scene, for instance a close up shot which draws attention to one particular person or object or a l ong shot to show where the action is located. Having different types of shots creates a different effect on the viewer. e.g. close up shots draw the viewers focus to a persons face where we can see certain reactions and emotions.  Framing Extreme close up - allows a small object to be shown as being large. close up - given fully view of usually a human face Medium shot - Shows upper half of a persons body American shot - Shows a three quitter view of a persons body Full shot - Full view of a person Long shot - typically landscape (shows where action is taking pl
