We integrated a few technology's in our project such as phones and laptops. We used an Iphone camera to film the scenes and get all of the shots. Then we went back and enhanced the quality and lighting in the settings. We used a Macbook laptop to edit the film together and put the title and credits on and we used Imovie to do it.

My production skills definitely advanced throughout this project. In the beginning I really had no clue how to edit or film any of the shots that we did. I learned how to edit some clips on the computer that helped my production skills. I also learned how to change settings on the Iphone camera which also improved my production skills. My teammates helped me a lot along the way of this project, we worked very well in helping each other and learning all of the new things together so that our skills were on point. I am very confident in the things I have learned and what we have done.

Our film engages the audience with thrill and adrenaline because it is a car chase. Since there is much going on and the incidental music makes it seem high speed and interesting to grab the audiences attention. This film could also be for many different ages, if they like action movies. It's not for kids, as it probably wouldn't keep their attention, but more for older teens and adults, and even old people.  This film would be distributed as real media text through trailers and billboards. We would publish at least 2 trailers that show part of the chase and the phone calls going on with Makayla. That will then want people to watch to see what happens and it will really pull them in. Making people invested in our film is the main goal, so we would also use billboards to make our film know. We would use a picture of Makayla getting chased on Erik by foot, so that it will look interesting and make people wonder why she is being chased.

In our film, there were a variety of conventions used such as a use of different camera shots and fonts. The first convention was a low angle shot of Eriks car driving down the ramp. We did this shot to show how there was a chase and how it was starting. The second convention we used was a close up of Makayla and Eriks cars driving down the road. We used this to show that the chase was still going on and there was obviously some tension between the two. The last convention was the use of the title font for the film. We chose this font because we felt it looked best with this film due to it being big and bold. It also goes along with the film because the film is full of action and the font is like that too, not a typical one. There are two social groups that are represented in our film. Erik is the good guy and Makayla is the criminal. Makayla has stolen something from Erik so he is after her to get what she stole.

To sum it together, for our revisions we fixed the quality if our video because it was too blurry before. We fixed this by uploading the video directly from Logan's  computer. For our second revision we changed the fonts on our film, to something not so generic because they were basic and boring. For our third revision we changed the title of our film to "Uncatchable" instead of "The Chase." We felt as if Uncatchable left it more suspenseful  and shows that whoever  is being chased cant be caught  so it leaves you wondering .
