EVALUATION - Q7. Looking back at your preliminary task , what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

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

Some points to take from the interviews:

• To target the wider audience we realised that we must include elements of comedy to interest audiences who may not be interested in the usp.
• Also we realised that the names of the cast and crew would be an important element to attracting audiences.
• It was clear that the target audience was to be met through location, so a lot of teens local to where the film is set would or should be interested in it, as they can relate.

EVALUATION - Q6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Evaluation Question 4- Who would be the audience for your media product?

Here is the Facebook profile of our ideal target audience. a 16 year old boy from London who loves football. The film's USP of football allowed this target audience member to be identified, and because the film is also about teenage boys playing football in London, we believed that Daniel's factors would make him the ideal target audience.

Here is the Facebook profile of our wider audience. James is an older male from London who still loves football, however our USP for the wider audience is the style of the film, and the independent arthouse element that hopefully attracts the older film lovers, who also enjoy films and want to watch a fun, comedy film that they can still relate to.

EVALUATION - Q3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

EVALUATION - Q2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Evaluation Question 1- In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? draft

Skills learnt in production.

This is the stage in which I learnt most of my skills in. During the production stage , filming various shot types and angles allowed our title sequence to look more professional. We filmed various scenes again and again but with different shots such as close ups and extreme longshots to show our understanding of the different shots. These skills may be highly useful in the future so learning them was quite useful. While editing , we used different programmes such as motion and final cut pro to improve the quality of our title sequence , we messed around with them to make sure we understand all the different tools. Finally , during the soundtrack , which was probably the longest stage of production due to the fact that there are hundreds of sounds to go through and trying to sync them to create a soundtrack was rather hard.

Skills learnt in research,

During the research stage , many skills and ideas were learnt and had major impacts with our title sequence. One of the skills was analysing the mise en scene , editing , sound and camera in different type of dramas. This skill was crucial in our title sequence because we had to know which shot types were good to use in our titles and how to use them. So , we had to decide what kind of drama we were doing , we picked a teen drama and then watched and analysed one which was 'Kidulthood'. This had a great influence on our title sequence as the whole story of our sequence is about a group of friends who have some differences and then argue. Further more , kidulthood also allowed us to figure out what type of attire we should include with our characters and the type of clothing they would wear. We also were able to see and decide which type of titles we should use , either animated , narrative etc.

Friday 6th March

On the day of the deadline , two of us stayed back and added the finishing touches to our title sequence. Firstly , we had to make sure the titles are the same length , size and font , and we had to make sure they were 100% visible to our audience. Secondly ,  we were given more feedback from Louisa in which we were told that a certain title was blending with the background so we had to then change that. Thirdly , we then added the text bubbles to show what was being said on the phone between the characters. Lastly , we played the whole sequence again to see if there is any problems with the sequence, and then we saved and exported the file.

4th March - What we indend to do next lesson

On wednesday (next lesson) we intend to complete the soundtrack for the title sequence , we also need to act on all the feedback in which we received from  Dan  (see previous blog post). Which contained : Trimming down our title sequence ,  including more action scenes such as more football scenes and less texting scenes as that may bore the audience

Rough cut feed back 2 (From Dan)

After Dan viewed our rough cut we were told to decrease all the texting we had as due to the fact our title sequence is a football , we have to make the texting scenes smaller and increase actual footage of the football. Furhter more,we were also told to decrease the lenght of it as currently it is a 3minutes , so in order to do this we are going to cut or shorten the scenes as much as possible. In addition , some shots were way too far and narrow so we have to improve that. However he did say the various shots were used properly and effectivly.

MONDAY 1ST FEBRUARY 2015 UPDATE

Today we will continue to edit our title sequence following the advice we've received from Louisa.

We also plan to cut it down to around 2 minutes as its currently over 3 minutes by removing the scenes we feel are most unnecessary and unsuitable.We also plan to trim down some of our suitable scenes to make them more time efficient.We are also starting the production of our sound track as its a vital element of the title sequence and with the impending deadline of Friday 6th of March it had to commence today with the hope it will be completed by Wednesday the 8th of March.
