Advanced Portfolio


Hi everyone. This is still me, Andrii Azarchenko and as I am in Year 13 now, I have started working on my advanced portfolio. For it I was given four options: music promotion package; film promotion package; documentary package; short film package. I chose the last option because I want to try how skilled I am in making the real short film which doesn't last just 2 minutes but way longer. Usually the first task for filmmaking is to write a pitch and then a script so there will be a ready plot for the movie. But in my case I firstly focus on the casting because it's very compulsory to understand the real situation and to know whether you can afford what is in the script or not. And after finding the actors it will be much easier for me to create a plot with characters taken from my actors.

Critical Question 2

How does my product engage with my audience? Well firstly it’s important to find out what my audience is. They are people who are very likely to enjoy the thriller genre films and their age somewhere between the teen age and early 30’s, possibly middle class people because they can understand the pain which main character feels. The main character is fully in debt and the stranger who he meets in a café gives him an offer to murder someone so he’ll be paid enough money to return the debt. Many people who will watch this will ask very deep questions like ‘’What would I do on his place if I had debts too?’’. And also there are thriller fans of the same age as above described people. These are the category which use the film watching to feel the tension, the people found out the Fincher-style thrillers which give the cliffhangers and the viewers wonder what will happen next. These people don’t watch these films because they reflect their personal life problems but are made in the genre th...

How to Make a Good Villain

Villains are important characters in plot because they drive the conflict and they capture the viewer's attention. A villain is the opposite of a hero. A villain is the antagonist of your story whose motivations and actions oppose the protagonist  and drive the plot of your story. A villain is the opposite of a hero.

Cinemascope

  Cinemascope is an anamorphic process that compresses an image during filming and uncompresses it when projected. The process involves squeezing a wide image onto 35mm film so that it fits the physical celluloid's square frame. With the help of anamorphic projection lenses, this image is then unsqueezed, allowing for the full width of the image to be displayed. In the early days of cinema, French inventor Henri Chretien created and patented an anamorphic lens that could be used for motion pictures. However, back in the 1920's and 1930's, no one was really interested. That all changed in early 1950's, when motive studios were losing their audience to the rise of television. It was convenient, could be enjoyed at home and provided the same entertainment value as movies. However, in 1952, ''This Is Cinerama'', which displayed a widescreen image with three cameras and three projectors was becoming a smash hit across the country, albeit in limited theatres. ...
