Here are a list of websites that i have used that have helped me in stages of all my coursework such as finding information on production companies, comparing other film openings to ours to add similar features and also finding out what age groups tend to watch certain genres.

Class Evaluation
We set up a questionnaire for some other A level students to fill out during a lunch time while watching our film
The questions in this questionnaire include?
What gender are you?
How old are you?
Is the genre clear? If so, what is it?
Did you enjoy our film opening?
Would you watch the rest of our films?
Did you get confused at any point? If so why?
Even if its a genre you don't normally watch, is there anything you would improve?
Question 7
Here is the link to my preliminary task: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I59o5rHbW3U
Here was the title for our first shot of the prelim.
As you can see the title is not in line and also the font isn't appropriate for our genre.
In this shot as well you can see that the camera shot is blurry, this shows poor camera skills and also that we rushed the filming stage.
The hardest part of this task was overcoming the editing stage, this was new programme which we hadn't used before. We had to learn to put different effects in and also cut out any parts of the film which looked poor such as bad filming or shots of black. I thought our effort overall was average as we had many parts which didn't work.
The music in my video was too loud and blocked out the talking of the actors in the first part. Fading into different shots as well was repetitive and nothing different was used. The ending was poor as when i took the shot i didn't cut the shot so Sophie continued to walk which looked unrealistic.
As you can see in this screenshot we have added production companies for our opening where in the prelim task we just went straight into the first shot.
In this shot you can see the titles are a lot more realistic and organised as the order in which we show our group's roles which is similar to other documentaries out there. In our prelim task i only showed one title and didn't include roles such as: music, editing, filing etc as you can see from this next screenshot.
Here in my prelim task i provided no information to the audience in who edited,filmed and who provided the music.
Overall in both tasks i have learnt on the editing side - how to trim footage to make it fit perfectly, how to dim lighting and music and specific points in the movie and use of different effects such as making titles follow certain areas on the screen.
I also now have a wider knowledge of different programmes i can use to evaluate tasks to add effect other than just a powerpoint. Prezi and slideshare have been useful sites to make my evaluation stage look more effective for an audience.
