Evaluation Question 5 - How Did You Attract Your Audience ?

We think the conventions of our title sequence appeal to our target audience as we tend to focus on the certain aspects.In the start of the movie we wanted to make sure that the bedroom looked as if it was a male teenagers bedroom.We had books to show he was in education and enjoyed reading .We also didn't put any electrical items minus his phone , as he is abused.

We had 2 actors , Yung Lolo who was the Male teenager  who ran away and we had a background actor who goes by the name Lloyd , Who will later befriend Lolo.The story line is very intriguing for the audience . The genre again is interesting for the audience . The genre is interesting for our audience because  it's a more thoughtful and intense than most teen films , as we focus on a serious matter of homeless and abuse . The location were chosen because we wanted be adventurous and wanted to show the distance travelled by Yung Lolo , this why our shots went from a rural area , the suburban estate  and then to central London . We filmed in Trafalgar square as we introduced our second character here but never actually showed him as a main character and this allowed us to film the time lapse as it flowed well with  the storyline and it is also allowed due to film a successful time lapse  .These Locations allow children from London to relate and may want to how the iconic city they live in made it to the big screen .The Title 'The Run' , has a ambiguous sense , which will make the audience want intrigued and it also implies action. Lolo Productions and Group 16 studies , these are production companies that specialise in Teen Drama films so hopefully they will recognise these two companies .

The rough cut feedback did give us a lot of things to work on , we took this criticism and used it in a constructive manner to improve our film.We had to remove one scene where the water bottle turns into a alcohol bottle in the father's hand .However this made the film more confusing as we did not have another reference to this man , so taking it out was the better option here . This feedback helped and it made us become aware of the miniature details that can make sections of the title sequence improve our camerawork and editing .

As should be obvious we have come to our gathering of people by distinctive manifestations of media, for example, Facebook occasions, tabloid article, YouTube and so forth. These are only a couple of the media ways that we could achieve our group of onlookers by speculation what they do most, for example, going on YouTube, staring at the TV or  simply wandering the web.Also we used sound cloud to promote the soundtrack produced by upcoming producers Ketchup on Bun . 

Our wider audience , would be adults who were interested in other youth Dramas such as Kidulthood .These people are referred to as ' urban adults', this due to the fact we are discussing a serious matter which is homelessness and adults may want to be informed on such a serious issue . 


After the cinema screening that happened at the screen in angel  , we questioned pupils and staff on did the title sequence appeal to them and the main response given was  through the music we created on garageband, it it assisted our story-line by showing us the mood of the teenager and how he felt  about running away from home. The time-lapse was also enjoyed by many , they thought it was unique, as we successfully showed the transition of light to dark through this , this was not tried by any other group .Although they thought the camera work at the end was rather shaky , this could have been improved  . The editing the audience also thought that it was fluid and it all came together and the titles also fitted in well into the title sequence.

This Location is known as Trafalgar Square, this is a well known location for teenagers who live in London , as they have probably visited here before , or at least know of it . It helps make the Film more realistic as this an actual place for a actual problem .  

This is the scene with our young Male Protagonist , he can be related to as he comes from  a working class background and doesn't appear ro be well of , this makes us more sympathetic and gravitate towards him more ,as he is less well of  , therefore we like him as we learn how well off we have it compared to him. 

 

This was the shot that took , due to that fact it made our film not flow and created too much confusion as there is no other reference to the father .Therefore we took this out to avoid conversion .

TImbleTable: How We Used Our Time

This is how we use our media sessions, which are Monday 3:05-4:35 and Wednesday 9:00- 12:15 With a 15 minute break at 10:30. We also planned in some extra dates during the weekend so that we could spend long periods of the day filming during daylight. Wanting to film during hours where the public would interfere with our shots, we made sure that outdoor scenes were filmed during the week. This was a good idea as it meant that scenes such as the marshland, Trafalgar square and backstreets were not as busy, and our main character remained centre focus.

Deadline day

So Today , two members of the group came in to finish the Title  sequence, Some Feedback we gathered from out teacher Louisa was based on the sound . So we edited the sound but lowering the volume as the  transition  of new sounds were too abrupt.We also edited some of the music by placing some strings ,as the music was too boring and needed a build up , we manged to fit it in with a new scene and once it was over we took away these sounds to gain a more  sympathetic  tone .

Vlog - What we did today in our media session

Lloyd's Feedback

This is Lloyd's feedback.

Pupils feedback on The Run

This was another media group that watched our film and we asked them to say that they liked and what they disliked about the title sequence.

One aspect of the film that they found particularly intriguing was the use of speed within our piece. They liked that time was increased to show his duration of time outside.
One aspect of the film they didn't like was the original soundtrack. They thought that even though the music was smooth, it didn't correspond to the mood of the piece.
To improve our work, we have decided to redraft our soundtrack so that it echoes a more sympathetic tone, which is what we intend our audience to feel.

Reflection - disappointment

One of the scenes we had in the film had to be taken out . This was a  disappointment  as this demonstrated why the Teenager was running away ,It was a shot of a volvic bottle which then transition to my hand holding a beer bottle.This was meant to  demonstrate  the dad being a  alcoholic  . As the father only made one  appearance  it was  confusing  to use him as a character , also this is only a title  sequence so we do not want to give away too much . The transition never worked as we expected and slowed down the film and made it a lot more confusing , so to make the film flow better we had to take it out.

Rough Cut

This is the rough cut of our footage , this was the process of us selecting the relevant footage . 

editing

As it is getting closer to our deadline we are taking editing as our main priority.  So in these screenshots we have a picture of Serge working on our title sequence by editing the shots by shortening them to the correct lengths.

SoundCloud Drafting

We created a SoundCloud account so we can advertise the music for our title sequence. By putting our music on the internet we can attract those who are interested in original pieces, therefore gaining publicity for our piece.

We decided to use our production logo as the profile picture in our SoundCloud account. By doing this, we heighten brand recognition as both our Facebook, SoundCloud and blog all share the same images. 

The making of a WIX website

Group 16 want to create a free website to promote the title sequence to our target audience which is mainly teenagers as a core audience but also adults as a 2nd audience.  This will have information about the cast and an actor that started in the title sequence and general information about the production company and other information about the title sequence.

Run Rough Copy

The editing process

We started the editing process and we have started putting together a rough copy of our movie. Since the deadline is this week, we are allocating extra time so our title sequence has a higher quality. We sorted out our clips and put them into our timeline. Next we will be still editing and also producing title sequences and sound.

How I cropped the images

So once my videos were compressed and flipped so they could be presented well .I wanted to show How I did this so this required screen shots however , I felt uploading the whole screen image was not necessary  when discussing the flipping of the video .

So I used http://www.picresize.com/ this allows you to resize , crop and Edit your pictures for free , I found the cropping very useful as it was user friendly and It was a free online service which does not save you pictures so this is always useful finically and securcity wise
