Steampunk Style Analysis

Our films' costume is heavily influenced by steampunk culture and style. Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Steampunk involves a setting where steam power is still widely used—usually Victorian era Britain—that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy.We are focusing more on the Victorian-era clothing aspect (waistcoats, jackets with coattails etc) but will incorporate the metal/industrial accessories in a manner that is not as clean-cut and perfect, as our movie is set in a post-apocalypse landscape and the costumes should reflect this struggle for survival while still maintaining the unique steampunk style.

Above are some examples of typical steampunk outfits. 

Rough Cut 2 - Viewer Interview

An interview with an anonymous viewer of the second draft of the media opening. The anonymous viewer is 16 and is within our target audience age (approximately 15+)

The fact that it is filmed with a handheld style so it adds to the suspense and it was obvious that it was fast paced.

0:37 shot of the door being kicked open is dramatic. The shot is to long and lingers after the character has left the frame; this diminishes the pace of the film and makes it seem less frantic.

0:33 It is an effective shot and gives the film a faster pace.

0:06 the shot at 0:10 shows to much area to the right which gets rid of the claustrophobic feel of the film.

1:02 this first person shot makes you feel as if you are part of the action. It makes you think about who the characters are that are watching.

Rough Cut 2

This is the second rough cut for the film introdution. Areas that we wish to improve are that it doesn't focus on the main characters enough and that some of the shots are slower than we wanted which makes the scene feel more dull instead of fast-paced and full of action. The scene also becomes at times difficult to understand so in the final cut we will focus more on making the narrative clearer to the viewers.
