This Oray she is 16 and she lives in the city, London. She's an average girl, fairly dressed with just plain jeans a casual top, and followed by a blazer. Just Like every teenage girl there are things she takes liking to. Things such as Dancing, Partying, Acting and Reading. She also likes to shop in stores like New look, H&M, Zara. She's a typical teenager who also enjoys watching films, such as Omen, You Got Served, Prom Night and much more.  As a dancer she's very into dance competitions such as UK Street Dance Competitions. She's very into RnB Music and listens to artists such as Beyonce, Jason Derulo and Nelly. She also takes liking into Grime and Pop.

Following the information above she also has interest in the media entertainment where she has careers options to become a director for her own movie production.

The Reason why i thought she'd be appealing for my film was because she's the average type girl who likes to have a good time, whilst watching scaring movies with popcorn on a Friday night. Also I think that she is not the stereotypical Goth, Emo Look that everyone would think would watch a horror movie. She's just a teenager having fun at the age of 16. Also Another reason why'd i think my film is targeted at her because she is also a media student who is open to different genres and will willing watch the film to give her ideas for own movie.

Evaluation Activity 2.

In my film Anonymous both characters differ to each other and play a different role within the film. My female character within my film may portray the young female, home alone. It may be argued that she represents the teenager who enjoys the company of her own home. My female character may seem a bit young in the face but she upholds the age whereby you’re allowed to be at home without parents’provision. The female character may be used within movies to create the tension of leaving a young girl at home to empathies that anything could happen.

For example, in this screen I focused on her face, to empathies the fear in her eyes. Also notice that she looks very young, representing a young age group left at home by herself.  To viewers, some may show sympathy towards this actress, simply because she looks young at home by herself. However on the contrast, it may be seen as a young teenager, at home, by herself because she just enjoys having the house to herself.

This framework is similar to the framework shown in “when a stranger calls”. As you can see they are both shot extremely close to the face, whereby they express such fear from the phone call taken. Also they both represent the young teens growing up as my character may represent the younger teens of such as ages 13, 14 and 15, whereas the female character in “when a stranger calls” may represent the older teens from 16 to 18 as she actually is babysitting whilst my character is just experiencing becoming a young woman.

I think that my female character represents the females who are just becoming young adults and taking on responsibilities. However taking on responsibility may come with more with just a day at home on the laptop, there’s always something to up bring the fear of being at home alone.

Evaluation

Title of the film

The title of my film is called anonymous because there are a number of shots in my film that present features of knowing the unknown. Previously my title was to be named the unknown, but I felt that it noticed the obvious in my film. So I decided to call it anonymous. The font of my film, I decided to go with black writing but shadowed it with a white background. Using this, I thought it was bold and able to catch the eye of the viewer. 



Setting/location

For my film I decided to film it a house. The reason for my choice was because I wanted it to look as realistic as it could, so that when the audience were viewing, they instantly captured that it was set in a house. Although the house setting worked well for my movie, I do believe that if I had kept held of my time management better would have thought of more realistic places to film. Also, one disadvantage of filming in a house was the lighting was not as bright as I wanted it to be. Therefore things I could consider for next time around is considering on how I could make the setting or location brighter or how to angle the camera better so it captures the light of where the actor is acting. 



Costumes/props

The use of costume in my film was, again, modern time wear. For example my actor whore the basic jeans and a t-shirt as she was at home and did not need much detail to the clothing worn. Another thing I used for my film was the use of props. As for the other actor, who was unseen at the end, I decided to have the actor costumed in all black clothes. The reason for this was to hopefully portray the dark, unaware of the known feeling, as well as set an atmosphere as frightening and to create a cliff-hanger about was is about to happen next. 

As for every film there are props used to initiate the idea of the film. The few props that i used in my film were props such as:

            Laptop
Telephone
Sofa
Door
Curtains
House

All of the props mentioned above were very important for my film because the props positioned made a setting for my film also it built the set to look more authentic rather than looking unrealistic. 



Camerawork/Editing

Camerawork - In My Film, I noticed that my film had stayed at one level. To me I thought an improvement there would have been to involve more levels and movement. Perhaps, created a dimension throughout the film. However I did managed to add a few camera angles such as a wide and close up shot. Involving shots as the one mentioned help pick up the dynamic of the feel, as noticed, my film being on one level. 

Another Thing which contributed to my camerawork was the use of a tripod. For my some of my frames I needed a steady camera angle, in which the tripod was of help. 

Editing - To edit my film I used the application Abode Pro Premiere where a range of features helped me produce my film. Features such as


            

             Cutting 
Unlinking
Importing
Adding Videos 
Sound 
Effects.

Using These features helped me develop my film and build the concept.



Title Font And Style

The use of title fonts in my filmed were all the same apart from the one at the end. Throughout the film my titles were all white on black but i added a red glow outline. I did this because i felt it popped right out the page and also it was bold enough for viewers to see. Also because the theme of my film was horror i thought that the red outline would match the theme.



Story and how the opening sets it up 

I used the clock as an opening because it sets the time. So for example the time was almost midnight which would instantly tell viewers that it was late and something out of the ordinary was about out happen. Also Showing the clock created more of an scary atmosphere. 


Genre and how the opening suggests it



The genre i wanted to create was an scary atmosphere. Hence the clock at the beginning. I thought framing the clock at the beginning would set the scene simply because it showed the audience that it was going to midnight which may suggest that its dark and something daunting was about to happen. This also help me set tension right at the beginning another feature which helped me portray my film as scary. 



How characters are introduced 

In my film, I presented my first character sitting down in the living room. I did this because i wanted to present this frame as an ordinary scene, similarly to an everyday setting. I thought presenting the character like this would not instantly reveal the storyline or reveal what was about to happen. 

As for my other character i decided to present him differently, almost a contrast. This character was viewed in all black, which highlights the darkness, imtimdatining. Also because his face is covered, this hints the unknown. 



Special Effects

Although I didn’t use many special effects, there was a special effect used on my film. This may have been the pitch I used to pitch the scream at the end.

Final Movie Sequence

Diary Account (Production Log)

Wednesday 8th December 2010 

My first shot whilst filming was of the young girl on the sofa reading a magazine. I decided to film the first scene of the opening first because as it the beginning of my opening, it may have given me ideas about how i wan her positioned or just other ideas for the movie in general. I changed i made to the first scene was i added more light because it was a bit dark for the scene as well as the camera.

Also i added an extra move for the actor. I decided that she was going to walk in and sit down, and from there continue to read her magazine . whilst she was sitting down, with the camera, i slowly zoomed in till it reached her face, where when i edit it it be cut as it reaches her face.  Another part of my play that i filmed was the keys ((unknown object)).  The keys in my film is meant to signify the mystery  and thought of why it is being filmed, and how does it relate to the film. To achieve this feeling i decided to only get a shot of the keys once throughout the whole movie so then it it a question of why it was being shown. Also i zoomed in onto the keys a i did with the young girl to empathise the mystery around it.

''THE UNKNOWN''

For my final  filming I decided that i was going to go with idea 3. The reason for my choice was because there is a cliffhanger and also the audience were unaware of what was about to happen, which left suspense and had an enigma to the plot. However i made a few changes the to the actually idea. For the first i decided that be packing her bags instead of just sitting in the living room, or i thought that she could be reading a magazine or a book, so that it gives the scene a bit of understanding.

Another change to the idea was as the end all different items are dropping and as she come to something usual the phone rings making her shout. In the last scene you a random person in black going towards the key holder and it slowly fades out.
