Evaluation Activity 1

In this frame we had flashing white lights to show that her engines are shutting down and that she is crashing. The sound effects work well in the scene because it adds to the effect of her crashing down. This effect was done in Adobe Premier Elements and wasn't to hard to do it because we just carried on switching between white black screens the sound effects were added through a YouTube clip. 

This frame shows perfectly the technological science fiction elements to our movie. We tried to show that she is wearing a technical mask like Iron Man does in the Iron Man movie trilogy. The sound effects in the scene is meant to show warning and danger ahead which is going to build up suspense and make the audience wonder whats going on and what will happen next. To make these effects we used the software Adobe After Effects which was very useful and wasn't very difficult to do and it is very effective because it shows sci fi very well and makes you immediately know your watching a sci fi movie.

This frame shows the setting very well and the font we used for the titles in our movie. We wanted to show the setting before we showed the main character because we wanted the audience to know she had crashed on what looked like a civilized a planet. We also wanted to show the green areas and the trees to add to conventions of a peaceful calm area. The sound effects in the scene have birds chirping to also add to the conventions of a calm environment. We had many different font choices and we decided that this font was the best font to suit our movie. We saw a font from Deadpool another sci-fi film and really liked it so we decided to do a very similar font as it looked clean and felt it suited the tone of our film.

In this frame we were properly introducing our protagonist and we wanted to show that she is badly hurt and has crash landed.The effect on the scene we used is the fuzzy effect where the tree was clear and then it was fuzzy. We also had titles on top of the scene fading in and out. This scene also shows the location because you can see that she is surrounded by trees and in a empty area. This also shows her costume very well because she is wearing all black and has a cape.

This frame shows the technological elements to our movie. It shows it very well because it has alot of detail like showing the danger level, location and distance. There is some smaller detail in this frame as well like the body in left hand corner showing her health and where she is injured and even her heartbeat in the bottom right. We did run into some issues when making the hologram for example tracking it was particularly difficult because we needed it to follow her wrist and she moves her wrist a lot so it was hard to make it follow her.

 In this frame we were trying to show the main character and the hero. We had a female hero to subvert from the common sci-fi hero movies you very rarely see a women as the hero so we thought it would be a good idea. This shot shows her talking to her A.I and we tried to show her as the good hero. In the shot she had just found out what planet she is on and we wanted to show her confusion and show she has no idea where she is.

In this frame we tried to show and effect of our protagonist teleporting  away. We wanted to do this as her last scene to make it tense on where she is going and make the viewers wanting to watch more. We also wanted it to seem like she is trying to always move because she doesn't want the antagonist to find her. The teleport effect was added using after effects and we tried to get Vicky to cover herself with the cape and show this is one of her powers. This was to try make her seem powerful.

This frame is showing a spaceship we wanted to add a spaceship because we wanted to set the scene and tell the audience that this movie isn't just on one planet and that it can be multiple. We put the spaceship on the space background using after effects and it wasn't too difficult to do because we found the spaceship using a YouTube clip and the space background from google images. We wanted to show the spaceship to show that they were both in spaceships and fighting but the villain lost her. 

This frame shows the villain Volto getting angry and smashing a table because he lost her. We nearly didn't add the scene with our villain but we wanted the audience to know who the bad guy is. We also wanted him to seem scary, dark and angry hence being in the dark room and smashing the table. Because we set the scene with the spaceship we wanted to have technical equipment in the scene hence the lights and computer screens. We wanted this as the last scene because we wanted to leave on a cliff hanger showing how mad he is and making the audience feel tense.

Storyboard Research

Audience Research

For our movie we are doing a Sci-Fi movie with superheroes and supervillians. We researched other Sci-Fi movies who do superheroes vs supervillians and most of the movies had a audience of teenage nerdy boys and rarely girls. This means we expect our movie to attract the audience of teenage nerdy boys and this is why we have made our movie a 12. The movies we researched were from the popular studios DC and Marvel. We researched Captain America Civil War, Iron Man 3, Avengers Age of Ultron, Batman v Superman and The Dark Knight Trilogy.

When we researched Captain America Civil War we noticed it was mainly nerdy teenagers who seem to know a lot about whats happening this would mean that they have most likely read the comics before watching the movie which tells us their nerdy. We noticed the same with Iron Man 3.

When we researched Avengers Age of Ultron we noticed that there was not only teenage boys there but a few teenage girls and even mothers with their son/daughter as this movie was a 12a. This told us that there are sometimes girls watching the movie especially when there is a girl superhero.

When we researched The Dark Knight Trilogy we noticed a lot more teenage girls were coming to see this movie as well as teenage boys. This could be because of the romantic side to these movies as there is some romance in the 3 movies.

What we got from researching these movies is that more teenage girls come to see the movie when there is a girl hero. We wanted to get as many people attracted to our movie as possible so we got our own girl hero to aim at teenage girls and boys. We also knew we were going to get teenage nerdy boys because we have heroes and villains in the movie and this is what usually attracts them to see the movie.

Soundtrack Research

This is the sound we used for institution intro for Horsemotion and Infinite M. We made this through audacity and found it on youtube we just edited it to make it our own. We researched some other institutions like paramount and 20th Century Fox these are two movie institutions that are quite different. 20th Century Fox is quite a loud one whereas Paramount is a silent one, the reason we researched both of this institutions is because we were not sure whether to go for a load one or a quite one but we ended up going with our own thing of just have peaceful music.

We also used other diegetic sound of birds chirping and wing blowing. We added these sounds because we feel this will add to the feel of a peaceful and calm environment. We also wanted the audience to know this is a peaceful area with a peaceful good person we wanted to show that the person they are seeing on screen is the good guy. Later the birds stop chirping and non-diegetic sound starts to play. The music playing is dark and evil we wanted the audience to know that we are about to see the bad guy. We also added dark breathing sounds to connote to the bad guy feel.  

Character Profile - Vicky Stanbridge - Victoria

This was the protagonist in our movie. She was just like the classic heroine bold, courageous and fearless. She is intellectual and a good leader she has the perfect leader for a futuristic space empire and holds hierarchy in the film. The outfit she wear contradicts her personality and force in the movie.

Character Profile - Eduardo Rojas Ruiz - Volto

This is the antagonist in our film we chose Eduardo to play the role of Volto because he has a very bulky build and looks quite menacing. He fit the role very well as we was scary and fearful. He wears a fully black suit with a skull as a mask this shows his power and dark side that he has gained through his experiences. He is known by terror and fear he is known for his intimidating skull mask and his heavy breathing. He is a leader of a brute force army that only follow him through fear.
