This is the Directors commentary for my section of the evaluation. It aims to answer the followign questions as well as talking about the specific micro features of our film:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
• How did you attract/address your audience?
• Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Story Board

Music

This is how we came up with our opening sequence song

First of all Craig (our musician) gave us a few songs to have a listen too and decide what we liked and what we didn't like, these are the songs he gave us:

AC-DC - Beating Around the Bush
AC-DC - High Voltage
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't fear the reaper

We really liked the sound of Blue Oyster Cult - Don't fear the reaper (below)



We then asked Craig to have a go at making his own version of the ‘Don't fear the reaper’ song and here it is:



We did like it but we thought as a group that it wasn’t quite what we were looking for. We then gave him a song out of oceans 13 which was more like what we were looking for, he then put the two songs together and came up with the song below:



We really liked this but thought it was a bit too short so we asked him to add to it.



This is the longer version, but we thought it was missing something. We also thought it had a bit too much of the electric guitar in it.



This is our shorted final song. It is also unmixed and is in need of a little tweaking.



So there we have our final version and the music for our title sequence.

Casting

Casting

The characters we had to cast for were:

Character 1:
· Character one is a convict who is up for parole and released. The character is very sure of himself and cocky but also intelligent and quick thinking. We pictured an older man who is a bit daunting yet has an air of confidence. He also had to look a bit of a ‘Hard man’.

Character 2:
· Character two was not to be as physically different and instead to show more through his personality as we intended him to be a family man with more commitments to his life. Not as care free as he might have been but still a confident character.

Character 3:
· Character three is the youngest of the three who has settled into a job. The character is meant to be quite scatty and nervous and very unsure of his own ability although he is very intelligent. This character should be slighter of frame than the other two and look ‘geekier’.

Newspaper prop in Sequence 2 – scene 1

1) First of all i took a photograph of an old newspaper i had:

2) I then uploaded the photograph into Adobe Photoshop, i then cropped the image and stretched it out.

3) I then set about getting rid of one of the lead stories about Frank Lampard’s wife leaving him(bottom right of the image.) I did this by selecting the area i wanted to delete, deleting it and then used the paint brush tool to fill the space in with the white/gray colour of the newspaper.

4) I them started adding our own story. First of all i added text, i added a headline and a sub headline, but borrowed the introduction to the story from the Jose Marinoho story on the opposite page.

I then had to add an image of our fraudster to the front page. This was quite easy but i had to rearrange the page a bit to make the image fit. The image we chose was this one below:

The last thing i had to do before printing was to make the image proper tabloid size which is 54cm x 37cm. and here is the final result:
