Risk and Hazard assesment
In my risk and assessment, the main risk , was cars and the bush, Also that other people could be getting in the way of the actors, and could be a potential hazard to the actors and to the person, also the were a few shots where i had to be on the road, for this, it was to risky to be on the road so i changed the shot were i was on the other side of the road, and did three takes as cars kept interfearing.
as for the wildlife my actors ran through, i told them what to do, then we made it clearly so that though the wildlife, the wall was just visible, os that the actors know about what there doing and could avoide harm

REcce of location
MY next location was inside my house where my victim of the medium dream wakes up and is terrified, the person who wakes up is kenny and he sees his friend being chased for money after his friend tries to warm him, so for this reason, he thinks he is being watched, because his friend comes to get him, and almost dies.
Evalutation question 7
During research and planning, we made videos, to film a friend responding to your video and what they thought about it, also they answer set questions, this taught me how to use the interior web cams, and told me how to respond honestly from voice in reviewing someones product, i also learners all a lot about different camera shots from watching the dark knight and other films.
During my time, of making my product my skills have improved drastitcally, i have increased my skills in using youtube, and learned how to upload videos and name them, also how to use the tagging tool and adding captions. I had to use photo shop to create my logos and this in effect game me and insight to the tools used by professionals in order to make a product.
From this, i took into my own film, i learned about standard shooting, also shooting in different lights, how to use mis en scene obviously, choosing a location was typical, i learned how pick models

Question 3 what kind of media institution might distribute your product.
My product being a film, the media institutions that could possibly distribute it are those such as mega video and youtube. Warner Brothers, a member of the big three, may produce my film as my film is a similar genre to the genre that they have produce such as the dark knight, and the Bourne identity, also it has a teenage spin to my film much like films harry potter, however the main genre is not fantasy, there are many things about my product that are similar to theres.
Also the music that goes with it is quiet mentally and the characters in my film are

Making logos
These logo's are made by downloading bushes of the Internet, then, i uploaded them into photo shop and edited them to make them look professional, this was a definite improvement on my last ones. I think they compare well to professional logos as they are done with professional tools and on a professional operator. Also the theme of the logo's shows professionalism as it is 'world distribution'Monday 20 February 2012

Recce of location
Recce of location
My first location i selected was the graveyard, i picked this as a startnig location as it gives an element of background story and begs the question, who’s ghravestopne is the actor looking at and why, and then why is he being chased, it is the mystery of the first scene to why the audience will want to watch on, because it is very speculative to what is happening and the questions they have asked themselves about it will be answerd. Also the graveyard is a fairly mysterious place in itself and will add to the mystery of my opening clip.
The graveyard is coverd in snow, which makes thechasing character appear more significant as he is in black. The running character will be smart casual to fit into the place he is visiting, he has a certain respect for where he is unlike the chaser.
I invlove the services of 2 estates in my clip, i wanted to make the chase realistic and through a real eastate, so that the everyday livings will shown in the chase, leaving an inferance to the audience that the chasing is a known occourance as no-one attempts to help or assist the runner. This will also leave the inferance that they are scared of the chaser. The estate in which im sing is right next to the graveyard, so i will not be moving very far, i will just be moving round the street, which will mean the snow will play its role there also.
I also have a burnside location, where the chase will extend to, its very jungle like and natural, which is realistic because the estate is built over the burn. The chase will extend to here where the character will get dirty, expecially the runner, this will leave the auidnce to believe that the runner is desperate and craving an eascape oppoutiry to which in my opening scene he doesnt recieve.

Four Aces is a logo that i made, i took a picture of 4 aces and chose a font to download from dafont.com and then put them together on photoshop to make my logo.
I made these in photo shop with pictures, and took my last name and put a picture of a hat ironically, i used photo shop to add in text and images and used the font to match the grandness of the hat making the font and the hat compatible

Planning My Soundtrack
The idea behind my soundtrack was to create a sound that would fit on the screen visuals of a chase. I used garage band to experiment with different sounds.

Peer Assessment of Storyboards
MY peers thought that i needed a bigger variation of shots in my story, however i thought differently as the shots a specific to that of a chase and there would be no point in closing up on a man in a balaclava , however i could throw one in for the runner. Also i thought differently about the dialogue as there is not much talking in a chase between this genre of character.
ALso it came to my attention that my story was not obvious enough, i kept it very concealed the why of the chase however i need to add a shot of the grave in to make it more obvious why the chase us taking place.

Research into institutions that distribute similar products
http://www.imdb.com/company/co0023293/
Warner bros distribution.
Warner brothers distributed all the Harry potter film.
Sherlock Holmes
Happy Feet
Chemical wedding
Nightmare on Elm street
Star wars The clone wars
Oceans 12
The company may be interested in distributing my film because they have many films that appeal to the same target audience such as Oceans 12 and 13 also contraband and conspiracy theory, all of which have a crime element and have very openings which set the entire film. Especially the Danny Ocean trilogy where the crime is cunning and the sound and shots suit the story.
Warner bro's own there own company and are a member of the big three is the music industry, sound generally there soundtrack will come from there own company, they also are vertically inter-grated and have the means and money of creating there own film.
Love film receive money from big movie companies to rent there film to the masses, love film are generally low budget and do not own any stores, they are internet based but will occasionally have stalls in the streets and shop in order to promote there company and the work they are doing. Shops such as blockbuster will also do similar things in order to promote there own low budget rental company, however will not be vertically inter-grated they will just distribute the film.

Audience research
MY film will appeal to the audience to that of the Dark Knight and Oceans 11 mainly because my film is the a similar r genre. Oceans 11 appeals to a male audience due to its theme of crime and action based film, however due to the actors such as Brad Pitt and George Clooney, it appealed to female audiences due to the actors reputations. My film will appeal to middle/lower class of people due to its theme of crime and cunningness, my film will be semi action and will be mainly hand held, hopefully the appeal will be to the audience due to keeping similar shots and story line, and in case of the dark knight, a similar structure of an opening.
The dark knight however is not the kind of film i attempt. the opening however is what i want to achieve, the dark knight was considered film of the year and many of the actors in it received awards, the opening to that was a robbery but also built into the story, starting with a heist and revealing the story very early on.
I want the mis en scene in mine to be like the dark knights in the scene of identities hidden in opening scene, so our main characters identity will be kept. Also i will use a lot of similar sounds, to maintain the idea of normal life however our main character is different, much like the dark knight where the characters we follow are the only thing not in day to day life, i want my character or characters as i will use to in the opening to emulate the idea of a day time operation, that is crime there for similar sounds are required also very similarmis en scene and shot types.
