Evaluation question 4 resit charlie
Q4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
Our target market would be from the ages of 15 to 20 this is similar to the ages that would watch the film fast girls which is about female runners who want to run in the Olympics. This is similar to our film as it has a very similar style and narrative as it too is about running and the struggles of becoming the best.. The type of TV programs this audience member would like are comedies as they would like to laugh as they would probably have a good sense of humour. They would probably shop at highly expensive shops or have a good sense of style and fashion. The type of music they would listen to is upbeat house or R&B music. I could interplant many of these feature into the film to make it more appealing for these type of audiences. Adding these certain aspects would make the film more relatable for these audiences and hopefully more enjoyable.To make our film more appealing to the audience we want to attract we would need to ensure that the character we created could be relatable to the audience so that the audience could build a connection with the character. This creates a sense of involvement for the audience as they feel as though they are attached to the character and situations the character experiences affects their emotions.
Making the character relatable for the audience would require the character to dress, talk, act and deal with situation that all of the audience experience. This helps the audience realize situations that the character is going through and gives the audience a different perspective on how to deal with these situations.
Due to the fact our film sees the character start with nothing and achieve big, this could attract audiences who are looking to be inspired. This means that we could use our media production as a educational source for the audience.
Evaluation Question 3 resit Charlie
What kind of media institution might distribute your film?
The name Black Mamba came from as one of the deadliest reptiles known so we felt that among the class are group and film could be powerful and the meaning the behind the film we felt stood strong for our audience and we could relate so we took our meaning of our film and put into an animal after research we felt Black Mamba stood out and we could design an decent logo for our film with a mixture of gold and black was a good mixture and sat nicely together.
A production company has major funding either through earnings, studio investors, or private investors, and has done or been involved with big budget productions in the past, it is considered to be a major production company as a group our final film would fit under Independent Art house film, due to the advances of technology and funding when producing the film we have a low budget therefore we wont be able to have the advances of 6K cameras the ones that are used in Spectre.
If an Hollywood company was to take our idea their version of the film would comfortably match 80-85% of our film if we was to produce an 1 hour 45 minute film but as an film compared to other films such Creed, Girl Track, Goal etc I think the film would follow a very basic and original idea of an child living in a ran down area trying to better himself in an area where crime and drugs are frequent and are used in daily living.
Various people are named throughout our film due to the roles which are given behind screen such as outfit, style and small things like the way you walk or even your mannerisms but also the likes of Directors, Executives and the leaders in certain departments this is shown because it appears through the opening sequence but it goes in hierarchy order such as Director, Executives & co-Executives etc.
When it comes down to Production companies I think if we was to go mainstream a company that I think that would produce or film and make it spectacular and gaining millions of viewers would be SONY Entertainment as they have recently released CREED which was a high hit and was a superb film so I think SONY Entertainment could produce a fantastic film with high quality actors as Michael B Jordan JR, James Francis Kelly III and Chloe Grace Moretz who would be a superb cast for our film, if we was going to go down the Independent path i'd rely on Studio Canal to produce our film due to their long track history of producing quality films from all genres so theses two would be our preferred companies depending on what categories we chose to go down.

Evaluation question 7 Adam Russell resit
Looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
While doing the preliminary we were just practising our filming techniques to improve the quality of our final piece and help us be more confident with holding and showing with the camera which i feel helped a lot. As we only filmed in school our preliminary task was very limited so therefore we had to create a story that would fit in with the schools surroundings and while we did our final piece we could almost film it anywhere so therefore the ideas were endless.
When doing the preliminary task my group and i used a variety of different shots such as a match on action and 180 degree rule. Unfortunately we did not use a try pod to held steady the camera so therefore some of the shots we used were bit shaky. This meant that some of the shots are slightly blurry which took away from what was going on in the scene.
We used a lot of foley effects to try and make it sound as real as possible but it ended out sounding out of place and wrong. For example the door did not make the sound that you would have expect from a new door such as this one.
While the two characters were speaking we edited a shot reverse shot to make it seem as it the conversation was fluent dialogue.
As our preliminary task did not have any real structure or story and we didn't really have a clue on what we wanted to film it didn't turn out very good. So therefore for our actual film we decided that it would be a good idea to create a story board to ensure we had an idea on what we were going to film and where.
While we did our actual film we felt that we were better adept to shot the scenes and our editing ability was much stronger.
We learnt how to film the scenes with much more effect as during our preliminary task we used a poor quality camera while in our final film we decided to film our shots on an iPhone 6 which had much better quality.
We also decided to mainly film our shots outside or in well lit rooms as a lot of our preliminary task was shot in a very dark room so therefore the audience could hardly see the characters and the quality of the scenes were not good.
As you can see even though we used a filter to make our actual film darker it is much clearer than the scene we used in our preliminary.
We learnt how to edit together our final product much better through the techniques we touched on in our preliminary task. During the editing stage of our film we were much more comfortable editing the shots together and it is very evident in how our film came out as we used many different techniques

Evaluation Question 6 Adam Russell Resit
What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing the product?
In the planning and production of our film opening we used a wide range of technologies to bring the project to life. These technologies helped us create a high quality final product. The equipment that we used had both positive and negatives while in use which goes as follows…….
Research and planning
YouTube
I used YouTube to find videos to analyse and take ideas from. This was a very important website for me as it made it very easy to find film openings so that i could analyse them and learn how they work in order for them to be entertaining.
Blogger
Internet explorer/ Google
I used the internet to use internet explorer and to find the bulk of the information that I posted on blogger I used the search engine Google to find websites that had appropriate information on to help me learn and explain certain information it was also very useful for me to save and embed images to help back up my points. For example I could find images to help back up certain genres costumes and convention etc.
Construction
I phone 6
While filming our music video we used an IPhone 6 camera. We felt that this would have the best quality camera that we could get hold off so that we could get the best final finish to the video as possible. I think that the IPhone was very useful as It was very good quality and could be used to film the first person shot very easily as it is very small and light.
The down side to using the iPhone was that in the cold and while filming the battery would drain very quickly so therefore we normally had a limited time
I movie
On the IMacs we used I movie maker to edit our film opening this was a very good piece of technology to use as it was easily accessible for us to use because we could use it at any time during the school hours and after school as well. It was very easy to use as all you needed to do was upload footage from your camera or phone and you could easily cut and split clips in order to make videos.
Evaluation
Prezi
I used Prezi a presentation program to create an interesting and engaging answer to the evaluation question this was a very useful program as it allowed me to easily create a presentation that is more interesting than the likes of Microsoft PowerPoint.
Emaze
I used another presentation program emaze to assist me in creating an interesting way to present one of the evaluation questions. It was a very helpful program as it made it very easy for me to create an interesting presentation to present and explain one of the evaluation questions.
Editing
On the IMacs we used I movie to edit and use a microphone to make a video answering the evaluation questions this was a simple and easy way to answer the question as all the resources were waiting and ready for myself to use. The problem that I had was the fact that there was an number of people waiting to the same mac to do the same thing so it was very hard to slot myself in to be able to use the mac and do this task.

I used Blogger to write and individual and group blog in which I used to log data to help explain what I have been learning and what I have been doing for the task set. I also used it to log my analysis's of film openings so that we could make the best final product as possible.
