Evaluation Extention: Audiense Feedback

We asked our classmates to give us feedback on what they thought was succuesful and unsuccuesful, once we got this feedback we then went back and edited and inproved our film by changing the fount style and size and colour and our main title.

We have made a shot Video doctrementry recording our thought on what we have learnt

Evaluation Question 6: What have you learnt about Technology from creating this media product?

This is a prezi to show what what tech we used in creating this film and what we have learnt.

Technology for The Classroom on Prezi

Evaluation Question 5: How did you attract/ Address your audience?

We 'Tagged' our film on youtube to annotate this.

Evaulation Question 4: Who would be the audidense for your media product?

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
TASK: Create your perfect audience member, give them a background, a picture, a ‘tribe’ www.uktribes.com and www.findyourtribe.com, what music do they listen to, what TV do they watch, what films would they go and see? (Use the post from earlier in your planning, but this time discuss how you have attracted them in your finished film).

This would be a style of our audidense member, Our Perfect audience member would be a young adult; this is because our film is quiet edgy and Morden semi inspired by skins which is a contraveral British TV programme about teenagers. I did some research about my target audidense and found out that 25% ‘definitely agree’ that they “watch more TV on my computer these days.” This was higher than the 19% among all 16 to 24s. This means that my marketing of the film when advertising should be directed towards the internet and less towards the television.

This would be the music our audience member would be interested in, semi mainstream with some indie, rock, bass and dance. The T in the park line up was a good mix of these including snow patrol, Twin Atlantic, Jesse J, The enemy and more classic artist such as The stone roses.

Evaulation Question 3: What type of Media insistion might disterbute your media product and why?

Evaluation Question 2: How does media product represent social groups?

"Effy" from skins is a character that has the look and attitude that we looked for when deciding on how to dress our girl character. As you can see she wears alot of make up and dresses provocativly.

This is how we dressed our girl character, having her outfit and character based on Effys.

This is how we dressed our girl character, having her outfit and character based on Effys.

We chose Teresa Alba and Harry Wallace as the two main characters for our film. We chose them because we thought they looked right for the characters in our film, and they are our friends and easy to work with! Here are head shots of them :)

Piont 25 Risk Assement

Risk Assesment

What could go wrong???

We will have to make sure we have definite permission to shoot up in Bruce, otherwise we could be kicked out without getting the footage we wanted, not to forget that we would get in BIG trouble!

When working with heights (eg:high angle shot) must be careful.

Check the surfaces is not slippy
or in any way hazardous to prevent this----->

Make sure the weather conditions are safe to be in when shooting outdoors.

Piont 24 Location Shots

Some Location Shots!

These are some of the locations that you will see in our opening scene. We are shooting in and around the school, as it is very accessible to us, and we do not need to seek further permission. However we are planning to do some filming in Bruce House, which will requir Catriona and I to get permission to do so.

Point 21 Music

Music!

At the moment we are planning on using the a song called Fantastical that we found on Freeplay Music from Rock Grooves Volume 8 however, I think it may be possible that we change the song on a later date if we find one more suited to our film.
I like this one because it starts quite basic but builds up to something interesting, which supports the theme of our film perfectly.

Point 20 and Piont 22

Instead of drawning our storyboard, we felt it would be more affective with pictures. so on the day we are shooting we are going to take photos before each shot then print and present nicely. Due to this these Pionts will Not hit the deadline because shooting takes place after the deadline.

Piont 19: Investigation of Narrative Theories

Point 17: Key Elements

17. Define the key elements you must include in your opening to conform to the expectations of the genre you have chosen, the audience you have chosen and what is expected of a film opening. Make a check list.

• The Name of the film must appear at the beginning of the opening titles

• The writer has to be mentioned.


• The Production Company’s name is to be mentioned.


• The Lead Actors Names

• It should hint at the theme/ Genere of the film.

Point 16: Institutions that might produce, distribute and exhibit our film

Paper Street Films Production company.
Has Produced films such as 'Detached' which is similair genre and theme
Paramount Pictures has prodcued, distributed and exhibit films such as Mean girls. With a large budget this could be useful in creating our film, the only negetive effect is that pararmount pictures is an american production company. Here at Filmhouse Productions we feel strongly about creating a film set in britain with a british sense of humour running through it.
Channel 4 Television Corporation Although this is a Television Company I feel Channel 4 would embrace the contraversionl nature of this film and also the Bristish essence.

Point 15: categorieing the audiences

ART HOUSE
This is focused for more up market and older people.

15 PLUS
Our film we are creating is focusing to attract the 15% of the population aged between 15-24. 39% of the cinema is populated by this age braket in this categorie. There is a farily evenly mixed gender but our film is slighty leaning towards the female population. The cinema aduidense has a hugher percent of upper class people this may be because the cinema can be expensive. Our film will be marketing in this aduience categorie because are viewer will be Young and Upmarket.
