Evaluation: Question 7

Evaluation: Question 6

Evaluation: Question 5 How did you attract/address your audience? Draft

Our general target audience was teenagers and urban adults. These are the general target audience for a youth drama.

The aspects of our opening title would appeal to our target audience because we use very dramatic music and our main title sequence is very relatable to the youth society of today, as we know from the conventions from youth dramas that are released in latest years. In our mise en scene we used very generic teenager settings, such as the bedroom of the child, and the streets to show homelessness. We also used the streets of London that we usually see in generic youth dramas. We had books and the wallet as a close up in the title sequence. We shot him running away and this would attract our audience of teenagers. The style of our titles would allow attract our target audience because they're very professional and simple. They would attract our wider audience of urban adults.

We only had 1 actor which was the main actor in the movie which was running away from home and we showed how alone and homeless he is, especially in the time lapse. If we had enough time to do a trailer for our title sequence, it would attract a lot of teenagers and adults to our project. The sub-genre of our title sequence isn't a funny film but dark and intense like most of teen dramas that you see in the film industry and it relates to the newspaper. The location was chosen because it shows the process and the story of the main character running away from home, from the rural area to the urban central London. This would appeal to our target audience because we used well known locations such as Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. 

In our rough cut feedback did give us a lot of feedback, and a lot criticism and it made our movie a lot better because of it. There were a couple of shots that we had to delete because it wouldn't have made sense in the title sequence,we had to delete the alcohol bottle shot and we had to shorten the timelapse to not bore the audience. We wanted to include a vodka bottle to show the reason why he was running away however it should make sense in the end. With the feedback it made us concentrate on the little details such as the music of our title sequence, we kept having to change it to make it more dramatic and more appropriate. When our target audience saw the title sequence they were not very impressed because our rough cut was 17 minutes long and completely unedited, they thought it was boring and unfinished because it was just the clips chunked together and they were not edited at all with out any effects.The rough cut appealed to our audience because when they gave there feedback they said that they would watch it if it was properly edited and gave a clear message however at the time, it didn't give a clear message. They mentioned in the final draft of our film, that they really liked it, because the shots were very creative and it really creates sympathy for the main character, this shows that our title sequence attracts our target.
In the pictures below we made some changes to our title sequence by doing other moving shots and in the first picture of Trafalgar square that was filmed on an IPhone that we shot to make the audience understand more of the storyline.

This alcohol bottle shot that we deleted to make the video flow more.

After the cinema event that happened in our college, we asked pupils and staff how did the title sequence appealed to them and they all mainly said through the music we created on garageband, it really helped the storyline come alive and show us clearly how the boy is feeling about running away from home. They really enjoyed the timelapse, they thought it was very original and not many people have done that before and they would we did it successfully. However they did think the camera was a little shaky in some place and those places could be 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 our feedback that received when we presented our idea for this title sequence.




As you can see that we have reached our target audience through by different forms of media such as; Facebook page, Vimeo and soundcloud. 

This is the Vimeo video that was shared on the platform by the college.

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

Serge's Feedback

This is Serge's feedback about how he felt about how the title sequence went.

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.
