cindy - very short posts!!

Please try to extend your posts Cindy - your post on  audience is so short as to be almost meaningless. Do the research  more thoroughly as it will help you understand your process far better, and will help you in your evaluation.

Reconstruction To Our Opening

After thinking deeply about our opening, it was brought to our attention that our current opening was too short. Therefor, we have decided to extend our opening by adding in extra clips at the beginning. We have agreed that in order to make it clearer to the audience of why the victim is being killed; we should add a few clips on the killer's childhood. Basically the killer was bullied/excluded by a group of girls so therefore a few years on, she decides to get revenge. We have decided to show the killer as a child where she is being excluded, then we will use a camera effect so that the action will be taken as a photograph. Then it will show that same clip as an actual polaroid in a book. The child (killer) will be flicking through the pages on her bed with evil in her eyes & scribbling out things etc. Then we will flash forward to the killer as a teenager still flicking through the pages so that its clear to the audience that they are the same people. Then it will show the killer (teenager) slam the book shut and then we will have a change in the day of time (from night to day) and then we will go to the original clip of the storyboard in the train station.

Analysis of our practice shot 

We are more sure now of what type of shots we will be using and what type of lighting works better, for example close-ups and two shots and reverse/shot revers. we also think that the shots we use will be efective because the lighting and other surrounding factors will make it look good. 

Research; Target Audiences.

Target Audience is the suggested audience that you aim your film towards. Different genre have different audiences as it may have aspects which does not apply towards another.

For example:

Research; Genre

A genre refers to the method based on similarities in the narrative elements from which films are constructed; this can include props, setting, sound etc. 




Different types of Genre - 

Adventure films are usually exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales.

Comedies are light-hearted plots consistently and deliberately designed to amuse and provoke laughter by exaggerating the situation, the language, action, relationships and characters.

Action films usually include high energy, big-budget physical stunts and chases, possibly with rescues, battles, fights, escapes, destructive crise.

This is a few shots of our planned location for our opening. These shots were taken at a late time so therefore its alot darker; however when we will be filming it will not be as dark
