KEYNOTE-
Slide One- Question 1; In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Slide Two- 9 Frame Analysis.
Slide Three- Image One; (Left, writing on the right)
This is of our Distribution company, which we came up up; it is a simple logo, with the text Dinner Plate Studios, however the hands show the thriller/horror genre, because they seen to have come up for some 'help'. This is a convention of the opening of a film, as the first thing which should be seen is the distributing logo/name.
Slide Four- Image Two; (Left, writing on the right)
From the name of our film, Abandoned Cam, it can be assumed that the majority of it is going to be filmed outside; therefore this can be seen as our establishing shot, which is a long shot. From our research, a normal convention a an opening of a film is establishing the platform/scene. It is also seen to introduce the narrative, or the plot. With this certain image, it is easily identifiable as being a forest, not a park, which puts an eerie fell to what our genre is.
Slide Five- Image Three; (Left, writing on the right)
This image shows the introduction of our protagonist, David, who is looking around, seeing what is going on around him, while the other members of his group are chatting away. It gives an insight to his personality. This is another convention of an opening trailer to a film, because it has shots, one by one, of the main characters, which includes protagonist and antagonists, then slowly has other shots of the least important, but mainly throughout the film characters.
Slide Six- Image Four; (Left, writing on the right)
Also, throughout research of conventions of an opening, it was seen that from a certain shot, you can tell that the narrative has begun. This image shows that, as our protagonist is on his own, and from it being an extreme long shot, from a birds eye view, it shows something unexpected is about to happen.
Slide Seven- Image Five; (Left, writing on the right)
This image develops conventions used, such a building up suspence, in order to see what the main storyline could be.
Slide Eight- Image Six; (Left, writing on the right)
We have developed the convention of having a key event that will take place, which can be seen through this image. Our protagonist here, has already been identified, as he is the one who discovers the male that is bleeding from his neck. The storyline has clearly changed to what it may have seemed to be at the beginning.
Slide Nine- Image Seven; (Left, writing on the right)
We have challenged the convention of non diegetic sound because we believed that within our opening trailer, it would have made sense to have minimal instrumental or background sound because we were shooting in a forest, and it would seem more realistic. From this image realism can be seen, as the campers are panicking, and looking for signal. There is diegetic sound, where campers breathing and looking around can be heard.
Slide Ten- Image Eight; (Left, writing on the right)
Slide 11- Image Nine; (Left, writing on the right)
The last shot seen after the 2 minute opening is the title of the film; Abandoned Camp. We used the final convention used in a opening trailer of a film, which is the films name. The specific titling, matches the background, and the storyline of this film.
Slide 12- Fade to black.
Record this, within keynote, with a desired time for each slide, export using quicktime.
(I decided to use a variety of shot types within these 9 frames because it would show the aspect and the meaning of the film from different viewpoints.)
