<br />
My ancillary texts are a radio trailer, film poster and a song. My radio trailer is made up of a poem, I believe that a poem was a good choice as the film is about love and poems can be related to love. I wrote the poem myself using inspirations from my film and other films that I have watched both Tamil and English. My radio trailer in my view is an effective ancillary text as it challenges the normal conventions of a radio trailer by not having any actual sounds or clips from the film. I t creates an emotional bond with the audience and slowly works through the film from start to finish. I used some slow mellow music in the radio trailer which adds to the emotional effects of the poem and also helps to set the mood of the film.<br />

<br />
My song is called 'Asai Pennai' which directly translates to 'lover girl'. The song is written in tamil, I wrote the song myself and sang it myself. I think that this has worked quite well overall as an ancillary text as people who have listened to it have given me good feedback. Even though the song is not in english many people who dot understand the song are somehow able to gain an understanding of the meaning by the way I have sang the song using different expressions in my voice during different parts. I put a large ammount of effort into creating this song, but I believe that it has been worth it as it helps to increase the awareness of the film and also is quite an easy song to listen to.<br />

<br />
The film poster is my final ancillary text for my film poster is a picture that I took whilst I was filming. I decided to do this because i thought that it would ensure that the feelings and expressions would come through as the actors are in character. I decided not to have a picture which included the villain as it doesn't give away too much of the story, it keeps the audience on edge about what may be the 'Forbidden Love'.<br />

<br />
I believe that all of my ancillary texts work hand in hand with my film each contributing in their own individualistic ways to my film. The radio trailer is able to gain the interest of a wide variety of different possible audience members from the radio medium. The song again will have a similar effect the radio trailer in the way that it draws in different radio listeners but it can also draw in other people in the way that it can be shared around the internet over social networking sites could be downloaded to phones and other devices that means people will have it accessible and can show other people it. The film poster follows the conventions of film posters in they way its laid out, i think that it drags a lot of attention toward the film as it doesn't give much away. The poster could be posted anywhere maybe on a billboard, in a cinema or local leisure center so the probability of it being seen by my target audience.</div>Shinmayan Ahtheesanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152881269594372944noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188524116731493466.post-18284274357318259912012-05-10T06:04:00.001-07:002012-05-10T06:52:34.716-07:00Evaluation: What have you learned from your audience feedback<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

All feed back that I obtained was positive with not much criticism if any. Many people liked the fact that there were a lot of different factors incorporated into the film. For example for people who like comedy there was the scene between the 3 mates where they're just chilling and having their own jokes, people who like serious films there was the main climax in the woods with the main character and the villain in the film, for people who like romantic/love story lines there is the overall narrative of the film. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

After my second edit I decided that I needed to change one part of my film as it detracted from the narrative of my film. It is the part in the park where both of my main characters are talking because the wind distorts the speech meaning you cant hear what is being said. I decided to use the other shot of the same scene that I had already filmed.</div>Shinmayan Ahtheesanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152881269594372944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188524116731493466.post-88774934685474384402012-05-01T00:27:00.001-07:002012-05-09T01:40:41.256-07:00Second Edit Forbidden Love<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="300" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/40451570?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="400"></iframe><br />

This is my first edit of Forbidden Love, i thought i had finished editing but when i played the film back through headphones I realised that some of the sound track had gone from stereo to mono, i.e only played out of one side of the ear phones. I then had to go through and double all of the tracks and set the balance.</div>Shinmayan Ahtheesanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152881269594372944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188524116731493466.post-72056951458432183662012-04-23T01:02:00.000-07:002012-04-23T01:02:48.948-07:00Evaluation & Radio Trailer & Song<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This is my Evaluation with my radio trailer and the fully completed song as well I have edited them all together using 'Acoustica Mixcraft'. This I believe gives a realistic representation of what my ancillary texts and my evaluation would sound like to an outsider.<br />

I believe that marketing side is remarkably important to the process of creating a film, as it generates much needed awareness of the project and as seen in the modern day, it is one of the main ways in which the film industry can generate a monetary return on their filming ventures due such great competition being present within the industry. One of the main ways in which i marketed my film, was through creating a Facebook page in which viewers could interact with me and give their views and opinions of what they perceived from the movie. This allowed me to achieve not only an increased public awareness but also allowed me to gain constructive criticism about the movie. I choose Facebook, as it is one of the most popular and well established social networking websites in the present day. It is also very popular within my target market meaning that I can directly get through to them through this method of advertising.</span><br />

This is my Film poster on being advertised on a billboard. By advertising it on the bill board I can be sure that my film will be seen by as many of my target audience as possible as it is on a large bill board it will increase the number of people seeing it and thus will hopefully increase the number of people talking about it and in turn increase the viewing. In order to get my film poster on to a billboard i will have to gain authorisation from the local councils as they controll what is put up on the billboads to maintain the ascetic beauty of their own borough. </div>

I believe that the image on its own is a very powerful image as it shows that both of them are together but their facial expressions narrate the audience that there is something on their minds that is hindering their love. I have taken a quote from the end of my film and put it on my poster I believe that this will entice my target audience to watch the film as it gives away a small part of the film away. This is known as a strapline. I have used pink and black as pink represents love and black would normally connote a dark meaning. So this ties in with my theme i decided to put forbidden in pink and love in black just to add a twist to the title.</div>Shinmayan Ahtheesanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152881269594372944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188524116731493466.post-54256500202465839362012-03-26T13:31:00.001-07:002012-03-26T13:33:00.426-07:00Good going Shin!Great to see it taking shape.

I asked them for their feedback one of the main feedbacks that I got was that they were unable to see how the film would unravel. Obviously this is a huge problem so I went back to the planning stage and worked out every single thing that I want to happen in each scene, this also made it a lot easier when it came to filming. Another criticism that I received was the fact that in my sample scene there was a lack of speech my class was unsure if my hole film was going to be speechless or not, this made me ask my self, do I want speech or not? And I decided that speech in my film is going to play a dominant role in different parts of my film. I was then asked about music from my film. For my film I decided that I wanted to compose my own music and write my own lyrics for my songs. I decided to write lyrics in both Tamil and in English I wanted to do this as I believe that it gives the film more authenticity. Both songs are about love, the lyrics can be found on my blog there is also a brief explanation of the Tamil lyrics as many people will not understand them. Whilst speaking to various people on a one to one basis I found that most of them liked the plot of my story but they needed more substance in the film. for example my original film idea said that the boy and girl get caught by a mothers friend but now the boy gets beaten up by the girls racist brother. As you can see there is a large increase in drama in my film now. By adding the brother it also enabled me to have a more diverse character base and experiment more. I believe that by using the criticisms that I got and continuing to speak to my peers whilst editing my film I will be successful in making a film that will be enjoyable for my target audience to watch.i also set up a Facebook page and invited many people to join i asked a few people their opinions on my plot and story lines many of them liked it but a few said they dont like it as they dont generally like the whole 'lovey dovey' film story lines.</span> <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
