Target Audience

From the collection of results from our questionnaire we have come to the conclusion that our target audience should exhibit a female gender of a vast age from 14 to 25 and of a Caucasian race. The more preferred genre amongst the audience is that of comedy however we decided against following this genre because it was advised that it is quite hard to portray. We wanted to create something that would touch upon certain issues and would have an impact on them, thus we followed with the idea of creating a teen drama which should appeal to the majority of our audience. As many of the The bulk of people watch their movies online whereby meaning that the marketing team should come up with a strategy that focuses itself heavily on the internet by releasing trailers onto youtube and possibly streaming the movie via netflix. The results reveal that a popular prefernce is to watch movies that will have an established and famous star. However as we are a low budget movie we do not have the money to afford a celebrity actor, though we hope to bring to light fresh new faces with great talent that will go on to become stars. The release date for our movie has been decided via our questionnaire as we specifically asked which season does one prefer to watch movies in, which returned with winter.

Production Log Shoot

In preparation for our shoot day which was on the 5th of March, we prepared the locations for our scenes from the night before so as to be ready for the next moring, these locations included the bedroom we would be using for our character to inhbit and the living room that would become a scene for our party that we dressed up in a number of alcoholic bottles and party paraphernalia. Our teacher arrived at nine o'clock along with our main actress whereby we went over our story boards and started shooting. We had the idea to use the camera to push into the room from outside the room with the door closed, from the guidance of our teacher we decided that this wouold not make sense because it would be improbable for a the door to open by itself which would make the film seem more like that of a horror or thriller genre. When directing the stair case scene, we had the idea to have radio 4 on in the back ground which would create a juxtaposition of a troubled girl in a homely atmosphere. We then finished these scenes at around 10 o'clock at this point our actor playing Max turned up but we still had to wait for our other four actors to turn up to start our party scenes. Our production came to a stand still which we filled by planning each shot and practicing the last scene with our two characters Max and Ashley. At this point our teacher decided that we had everything in hand and left us to continue on our own. We resumed production at one o'clock and finshed at two o'clock with only minor problems of dialogue and continuity.

Preliminary Task Video Evaluation

In the preliminary task video we learned how to edit our shots together and the rules about continuity. It was a good experience that made us more prepared for our actual shoot. We realised that there would be issues with sound that we took into account when doing the actual filming. We also learned how to track the camera properly which was great help in our staircase scenes.

Preliminary Task Video

It was instructed to us that we had to complete a preliminary task before shooting our own film. The task involves filming and editing a scene that would prepare us for dealing with continuity issues. The scene involves a character opening a door crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.

We decided to have our classmate come into the room, very excited about a monologue that she has to study and perform for drama while myself and another classmate listen attentively and ask questions about her monologue.
