Q5. How did you attract/adress your audience?

Mise-en-scene

The costume for the main character was meant to appeal to mordern teen fashion, and also appeal to the sterio type that teens who wear a hoodie is up to no good. The black cloths also help to enforse this steriotype. However we still wanted to have middle class look to kelly, having her wearing clean cloths, without any holes, but even without the holes the outfit does not look new.
The locations chosen may appeal to some tren and adult audiences for there are park and religious locations. We chose the location of thr church because we though it would look dramatic in comparison to the death of one of the characters. We also chose the location of the park because it is somewhere that teens are likly to hang out and also because it is a public location and we have no budget money to spend on renting a location to film in.

Actors

The main character is a 17-18 who fit the age profile needed for a youth drama, and the hair colour would appeal to a more unique audience and realates to the many young people today that have coloured hair simular. The hight and gender of kelly also has many simularites to the average teenage girl living in london. 

The angry male character played by morgon gorden tompson, he did drama courses and was more impresive in his acting abilities then some of the othere actors included in the title sequence. Although he was only shown on screen for a few moments he makes a large impreshion by hitting the  main character, knocking her to the floor towards the camera. 

The murder is a female actor however for the purpose of the storyline we wanted them to be a male character in the scene, as they kill another character on screen. She did a amazing work on camera making sure her hood never moved to reveal her face and the large jacket cover her slender female figure.

Story line

-Our storyline is shown from the point of view of Kelly. Showing all the events that happen to her or that she is aware of, like the film is all being told from diary entries, which we were going to include but we ran out of filming time. We chose this view because it is similar to other media products out there like ‘Angus, Thongs and perfect kissing’ which already has a large teenage audience and would help give us inspiration on how to appeal to that audience.

-Kelly used to be a normal teenage girl; she used to have friends, a home, in education and most important of all she used to be safe. But then something happens and she is thrown into a life where she is beaten up by drug dealers for money and get phone calls informing her about murders.
-We had a bit of trouble thinking how to show this in a short title sequence and yet not give away too much of the film in the process, what we first came up with was that we would find Kelly dead in a bathtub and then rewind though the film to the beginning of the story. Almost like in the ending of Donnie Darko they go back in time to scenes shown earlier in the movie but they show a difference in how the events turned out having Donnie die instead of live. However we wanted to have a similar effect for the beginning of our media product and not the ending, but having this work as a base we knew what the base characteristics our product would need to have to appeal to a similar audience.

Production and distribution comanies 

-Our production company already have a young target audience, consisting of indepented fans and also fans of Andrew Lee Potts who starred in many TV dramas and Film that appeal to teenage/young adult audiences. So they are a perfect choice for a production company that know more about our target audience then we do with their experience.

Also for our distributor we have a larger mainstream company that would be able to distribute our product over a larger range of platforms and locations. This would be better for our product to be seen by both mainstream and independent film fans, also it would show how diverse our product is to appeal to both audiences. However when choosing our distributor we also looked at what kind of films they have released in the past and Icon Film Distributors have very similar target audiences and sub-genres to our product.

Editing stages

Our Final Editing Session

In our Final editing session we had faded the relevant scenes, changed our flash backs to black and white and had filled in the credits.
After having Marisa watch it, she pointed out that the credits were in an unconventional order and we had to amend this otherwise we'd lose marks. She also mentioned that we cannot use our names for everything because that would make it unrealistic. Not only this but we had missed out our idents for the the production companies and this needed to be sorted.

We included our idents at the beginning of the film to establish who helped create the film. We ordered the credits appropriately however decided to use an unconventional method for the title and have it at the end of the film instead of at the beginning.

We began incorporating the sound into the opening scene. This was quite challenging as there were a lot of sounds missing in garage band that we needed. We had to take water dripping sound effects from Youtube to help us. 

We successfully finished editing a day before the deadline, which was really refreshing!

Our Fourth Editing Session

In our fourth editing session we were deciding on how to make our flash backs look like flash backs. We had put a good effect on it, however after having a few peers watch it, we realised it was too harsh on the eyes so decided on just having them in black and white.

We knew it would be really good, to incorporate our credits in between each of our flash backs because this would add to the conventions of a youth drama.

Our Third Editing Session

In our third editing session, we had successfully ordered our shots, decided what would go first and last and was beginning to add effects and fades so it would run smoothly. We decided that the beginning shots would fade into one another and gradually they would become less faded to create more tension within the film.

Furthermore, some of our scenes were fairly long so we decided to cut them shorter, and some of them had unclear and shaky movements, so we also decided to cut them short and keep them still shots instead to make it more authentic.

Our Second Editing Session

In our second editing session, we had come to the realisation that a rewind would not be suitable for our film or feasible with the way we had shot or scenes. Most of our scenes were just shots that needed to be faded in and out of each other and we knew it wouldn't be possible or even look right if they were in a rewind. 

This is when we came up with the idea to create flash backs instead. We thought not only will it eliminate the problem of our character wearing different clothes but it would also help to incorporate some of the other scenes that we wouldn't have put in.

Our First Editing Session

In our first editing session, we were really confident about how things would turn out. First we arranged our scenes in order so that it would be easy to do a rewind. We decided that we would start of with the bedroom scene but hadn't actually decided on the ending scene.

Following on from this, we thought about the contrast of our scenes and how the music would be incorporated however we knew this would come at a later date.

How We Kept In Contact

We had a group chat to keep in contact with each other so we knew when to meet up and to share anymore ideas.

WEBSITE SOON TO BE PUBLISHED !!

Website is coming out soon where you can find out all the behind scenes and meet the cast. Stay tuned for the release date of the website.

Extension Post

We had to re-shoot may of our scenes because we realised that it wouldn't come across clearly that all the scenes were not on the same day. We didn't want to confuse the audience so we decided to just re-shoot the shots where she had different clothes on.

As well as re-shooting the scenes, we actually decided against having a 'rewind' in the majority of our film. This was simply because we thought it would be much more complicated to do, and very disorganised. We chose to use flash-backs, which we have presented in black and white instead of the rewind. This is way if we wanted to add the other scenes where she didn't have the same clothes on, it would clearly look like it wasn't on the same day.

We chose to keep in all of our fight scene shots because we thought it would keep the opening interesting and engage well with the audience. We also wanted to make sure that our opening was long enough.

The reason we changed location for the fight scene, is because in the previous scene, there were scenes where the equipment could be seen, and we knew it would look very unprofessional. Also, we hadn't shot Lily falling into the scene, and that was a crucial shot so we had to re-shoot.

Last Day Of Filming!

Blog Post 43; First Day of Filming

The day of filming began with us shooting a call reaction scene, and also a fight scene.
We decided to have a lot of camera movement within these scenes to attempt to show our camera skills. We rarely had any other angles of the one scene which we realised after was not a good thing.

After our feedback from marisa we decided upon reshooting this scene because we lacked in different angles, as well as the fact that our camera work was less than smooth.

We asked our fellow peer Monica, to help shoot in this film as one of the bully's to attack Lily.

Day 2 of Filming

Day 2 of filming was the killing scene. Our shot were tilt ups, long shots, mid shots and over the shoulder shots. We used these shots because we felt it really captured the atmosphere of the scene.

Our next scene will hopefully be the bedroom and bathroom scenes which are the most important in establishing the actual opening. 

Our feedback from this was that while Lily was hanging over the dead boy, it looked as though she was trying to get his blood on her. We decided we may have to re-film this scene again.

FEEDBACK

• More detailed - shot types we may use, specific scenes we may use especially the rewind 
• Good story line may be to complexes to accomplish 
• more images- to give a more visual idea 
• use a story line template  

Effect ideas

We found the first one wasn't as effect and what was long for as the horizontal lines was going through our actors faces.

The second was too blurred and found it would strain the audiences eyes to watch.

We found the third blur effect was too soft and dreamy and we wanted to go for a distorted dark feel so we decided to combine the 4th one and make it in black and white to make it more dark and to make it look like the past.
