Final OTS

Untitled from Ashley Canham on Vimeo.


Here is the link to the finalised OTS. With the edits made from the peer assessment, the production team are extremely happy with this, howver the quality of the upload is poor. This could be improved by better camera equipment, or other methods however it's not that important as the title's are still readable.

Continuity task

Here is our continuity task, produced by me, Olivia and Ryan.
It shows various clips that should flow, showing that we have an understanding of continuity. This doesn't particularily flow, so it isn't showing much continuity, but it shows me what I could improve, so it still shows understanding as I know what to do to avoid a non continous OTS.

Exhibition and Distribution

This Is England
Here is a link for a prezi made by Belinda Raji.
It shows how Warp films exhibited and distributed their film This Is England. It contains a bit of information on Warp films, and the film, aswell as other methods such as production and marketing. 

Audience Theory

For audience, the main type would be males, usually older. This may be because most Noir films are quite old and would offer a sense of nostalgia for the older viewers.
It could also be because there is a little bit of action, and crime involved therefore stereotypically appealing to males. Another reason would be the introduction to an attractive femme fatale, and the male viewers would enjoy seeing a beautiful woman portrayed usually erotically or sexually.
This being said females will still watch them however they will tend to view more neo-noir.

OTS

Here is the latest OTS attempt. The editing crew are still working on some minor changes needed in order to change the feel of this.
At the moment, many people are noticing that it seems more like a trailer than an OTS, therefore small changes in the editing need to be made in order to change it to create more of an OTS feeling.

The production team tried to steer far from the traditional noir genre, whilst remaing subtly in the neo-noir style, therefore creating what we feel to be a unique twist on the genre.

Copyright laws

Copyright is the legal act of giving an original piece of work exlusive rights to the owner. This means that only the owner is aloud to own or change the work. It is currently enacted by most governments.
In the example of the OTS we are producing, an original soundtrack must be produced, and any foleying must be produced by the editing team. The OTS cannot legally have any audio that has been copyrighted.
This means that: Trademark, authors rights, moral rights, trade secret and geographical indication are correctly used under any circumstance.
All of these examples are sub laws under copyright:
Copyright law covers an idea produced by the owner.
Trademark law covers any identable sign that could show the origin of a product or service.
Patent law covers the protection of inventions.
Trade secret law covers the secrecy of important information.
I believe when used in the right circumstance, copyrighting is extremely important. For example, if a film is going to be produced then it must make sure it has permission to use copyrighted sounds, or simply create their own.
However being as the project we're working on will not be advertised publicly, I believe there should be no concern to the use of copyrighted sounds, as it will not be available to the public to copy, edit or save.
However, looking on the plus side this just means for the OTS's creation, the audio team must use creative thinking in order to make a suitable soundtrack that isn't copyrighted.
