Links with print tasks.

Negative
Tone down the sound as it sounds really loud and bassy.
Speed up of the run as it looks like something out of a comedy
Establish more of a conflict between the antagonist and protagonist.
Production companies sound effect looks like it shouldn’t be there.
Weather man isnt in sync with what he is saying at the start

Improvements
Tone down the sound as it is too loud.
Alter the speed of the run of Callum and Tom as it looks like something out of benny hill.
Car crash scene doesn’t work too well where it goes pitch black.
Get rid of the flash sound effect at the start doesn’t belong there.

Need to make the audio in synce with the weatherman.

December update

Having chosen our target audience of teenagers from 13-18 we started planning the design for our poster print task having already started on our magazine first draft in November.

 We had completed most of our research into conventions so that we were able to create a professional layout and structure of the  poster so that it looks effective and to a professional standard with conventions that are used.

We used the green screen images of our actors as we wanted to follow the layout that we had created in our magazine front cover with the image of the actor in the page, however we choose to use all three of the main actors together so that the audience can relate to the actors in the film and in our magazine front cover.

Having researched the popular conventions of the poster we looked on to how to layout our credit box, production companies so that it looked effective and professional. We also decided on changing the characters eyes having two actors with blue and one with red to show the dispute between them and it insinuates the concept of them having powers and not just being ordinary people.

We also continued filming, working on filming the chase scene in the woods and the car chase scene.

Budget

Our film doesn’t require much money, this is because we already are the correct technology equipment and also all the props that we would like to use; we already own so we don’t have o buy anything. But what we do have to pay for is petrol, this is because we have a lot of different scenes and they are in different locations so we will have to drive there. Also another thing we need to pay for is food and drink as we will be spending a lot of time filming so we will need to take breaks and have something to eat and drink. So overall our budget to make this film is rather small, so we don’t have to worry about not be able to complete the film due to money problems.

Target audience profile

Audience profiling:
We have selected a target audience for our short film , we feel that the main audience for our film would be the younger audience of teenagers of 13- 18. The reason we feel that our films will attract this audience is because we have young actors in this age bracket and we feel that a teenage audience would be able to relate to us more. also this is an action film and the majority of teenagers enjoy action films as they are exciting and keep you on edge.

The gender of this film is uni-sex as boys and girls can relate to this film and enjoy the action, it is highly relatable to the audience as its about three students at a sixth form  so the teenage audience can relate to having a similar lifestyle themselves.
