Evaluation Question 5

In our title sequence we had the main actor, who was myself, and I played the Male teenage protagonist who ran away from home due to domestic abuse from his farther. We also have a background actor, who is Lloyd.The story line and genre is very interesting yet it is also a story people can relate to, because there are so many people in these situations or know someone who is or was.  The genre is catching for our target audience because  it's realistic and intense as we focus on a strong but depressing situation of homeless and abuse . The location were chosen because it shows the transition from a rural area , to the suburbs and then to central London, which shows the extent the character is willing to go to get away from this abuse. We filmed in Trafalgar square to show him out of his comfort zone and to create a time-lapse.

The rough cut feedback gave us a lot of criticism so we had a lot of work given. We took this constructive criticism and used it to improve our title sequence.  We had to remove a scene where the water bottle turns switches to the fathers hand, but had to get rid of it, due to the fact the viewers didn't think it made sense.  I feel this feedback allowed us to become aware of every single imperfection in title sequence and allowed us to improve them.

We managed to advertise our film and try to grab attention of our target audience via social media, due to the fact that most of our target audience use social media. We made a Facebook page created by myself, to grab attention of people who would be interested in our film and also allowed us to advertise our film for free and to link it to our title sequence on vimeo.  I also created a sound cloud to promote the soundtrack produced by myself and Lloyd, because a lot of people in our target audience range use apps such as this.

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.

Vlog - What we did today in our media session

Loic's Feedback

This is Loic's feedback on how the title sequence turned out to look like and what he liked and disliked about how it turned out.

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.

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.

Sound list

We have decided to use the  Foley  sounds  available  to us on garage and as they can be easily be exported to final cut pro and they have many to chose from .

We chose  Refrigerator Door 1 as this is one of the less violent door slams and this was to show the door being closed in the shot of Loic leaving the  Bedroom  .


We used DoorSlam 8 as this was a bit more  louder  and violent , this gives us the effect that he is annoyed and is never  coming  back and also this is a front door so it will obviously be a bit louder than a bedroom door . This was used at the end of match cut when Loic was left the House .

The last day of filming complete!

On the last Wednesday before half term we as a group went to Beth's house to redo the home scene that we had to do and that the turned out very successful and we also filmed the outside scenes in Hackney marshes so in the editing we can clearly go from the house to countryside and finally end in the city. So in conclusion all the filming is finally complete, so all that needs to be done is the post productions which we started a little bit but it needs a lot more work.

Production and Studio

As Youth Dramas are unconventional , this means we are  in fact  a  independent  production , which we know do not have much money .Therefore we Made up our own  independent  studio and producers this due to the fact that  independent  companies like this are  usually  unheard of therefore we thought it would be easier to make one ourselves. We decided to call our  Production  'Lolo' productions this is a more playful name and runs of the  tongue  quite easily and is a play on Loic's name . The studios is named Group 16 studios , this was a nice name as it is the name we currently have and we have grown quite fond to it.
