Target audience

For our new film we believe that our film will be able to target a wide array of ages and classes but mainly people of the age 15-24 and a class of C1. This is because of the age of the actors in the film as well as the situations that arise in the film. People of the age 15-24 will probably be able to relate to the film the most however most people will probably be able to therefore the chances of our target audience expanding to include people from above the age of 24 is quite likely. While classes are quite open but once again people of the class of C1 and above or just below may find that they can relate a lot easier than others.

Inspiration for our new idea

With our new film idea involving the change of a teenagers social life after he passes his driving test we mainly drew inspiration from another students short film by the name of "Orange Drive" from this short film we noticed that it was all done in one shot and seemed quite a simple but effective idea to just show the main character always in their car. As we didn't have much time to complete our new idea we believed that this sort of film may be easiest.

Double page spread inspirations

I have found some examples of double page spreads of films from the movie magazine empire. We our using these designs for inspiration for our double page spread. As they are from all the same magazine, most of them have a similar layout.

1). This design is very much graphic based. It has a simple design but with bold text which goes nicely with the colour scheme and texts.
 2). This design is dominated by one image and has a simple layout on the right. It has a nice colour scheme and a little box of facts about the film which is nice.
 3). This design is very similar to the last one except it has one slightly smaller image so it can add an extra image in the bottom right. This one is goob but I find it doesn't seem as affective as the last one
 This featured in the last two double page spread. I am going to use this in our double page spread as it is simple but looks good and professional.
4). This is similar to number two. It is dominated by one image but has different colour scheme and visuals like the iconic gun barrel designs around the 007. This is a nice affect and we want to try and use something like this.

A change of plan

After having an attempt at the bucket list idea we realised that the film that we had created was rather boring and just wasn't good enough. We spoke to our teacher about this and she agreed. We then proceeded to come up with a new idea as the previous bucket list idea didn't really have too much potential. The new idea that we have come up with is about a teenager who has just passed his driving test and can now drive his car independently. He then picks up two of his friends but at one moment he has to choose between seeing them and a girl who has had a crush on but has never been interested in him, until he could drive.

We took photos to record our progress during filming.




Audience Feedback Poster

We showed our film poster to the class to get feed back. It was so we could get some non biased feed back so that we could improve our poster. Our film poster got mostly positive reviews but also some negative feedback and this is what we must do to improve our poster

This is the poster we are using, We got some good feedback for our editing and the text we used was suitable to the mood of our poster.

The only thing that people picked up on was the relevance to the film. Some people believed that there wasn't a strong link between our poster and our film. However others did and we got mainly praised for our effort into the poster.

Audience Feedback Video

In order to get feedback we showed our video to the class. Then at the end of the viewing the class then gave feedback on the film. Our first draft of the film received mostly negative reviews with a lot of people noticeably looking bored throughout the 6 minutes and questioning whether the ideas we came up with where actually life changing. To be fair the audience was correct so we sat down with our teacher and then we spoke about what should change.

We came to a conclusion of that we should start over on our film. This means that we will have to: Plan, Film and Edit our film in a smaller amount of time. We were fine with this as we weren't pleased with what our last film was like in the end.
