1a)Nine frame analysis of my influential film – Harry Potter and the Prisoner
of Azkaban
2)An analysis of the representation of social groups in your film
The main social group
for our film opening is escape convicts. the character in our film opening is a
key part because he goes on the run, escaping from a high security prison and
evading police for a crime he didn't commit hes on his own and can trust no one
until he can prove his innocents. With the character seen running away from
this prison atmosphere
which is very dull and depressive it ties in to our film opening
because we start with
the "convict" escaping his cell and running thought the prison grounds,
For our film opening we tried to chose the right location make it seem like a
empty area with in a prison that would be impossible to escape from,because at
the end of the day it would be the last place anyone wants to end up.

5. How did our film opening address and attract our audience?
6. Photo montage
The following images are all the technology we have used:-
We used a Panasonic HD camcorder to record the video footage for our film, this enabled us to get extremely sharp and great quality footage that we also we used for our animatic.
A USB cable was used to connect the HD camera to the computer so that the video footage and pictures could be sent from the camera to the computer so we could start the editing process.

A tripod was used to keep the camera stable and get accurate shots of our film opening, it also offered less movement giving us a better quality image over a hand held shot.
The editing software we used to do the editing of our film and animatic was Sony Vegas Pro 11. We used it to create titles and to put our film in the correct order of filming, we found that Sony Vegas is really simple to use and get used to.
7) What do you feel you have learnt in the progression from the preliminary task to the main product?
I believe that during the transition from making the prelim task and then compleating the main task, I myself as an individual have gained new skills that i didnt have at the start of the prelim filming, i can now succesfully edit pieces of film together, add titles and music to my work and identify mistakes in filming/editing and fix the mistake by either cutting the clip or simply refilm the shot and add it into my finished product. I believe that I have also improved in my camera work and can using a variety of angles and shots can produce a good short film. When i started the prelim film i was very new to media products such how sound can shape if its a good or poor film, how editing can make a film look professional or amateur.
