Questionnaire Results

All the particapants we asked were aged 16-21 years old as they are our target audience. Almost all of the particapants said that their favourite genre was either comedy and horror. This helped us as it is reasonably easy to put elements of comedy and horror into a social-realism film. Not very many of them watch independant films which makes it harder for us to promote it as it is unlikely that many of them would be interested. A lot of people go to the cinemas at least once a month but they always go to mutliplexes which isn't helpful as ours wouldn't be shown in one. They all feel that teenagers are portrayed in the wrong way in the mdeia so we are trying to change that by showing them as strong and independant.

Magazine analysis, film poster analysis and audience mood board

This mood board has many social realist conventions from music to drugs and gangs. Our film has pregancy which has become more common in the past couple of years espescially underage pregnancy.

Film Poster

The girl character in the photo was going to play the original girl in the trailer although she was not reliable and couldnt make the dates we set to film on, so we changed the girl character. The photo is in black and white to portrays the bleak nature of social realism gritty down to earth sad endings unlike the fairy tales.The girl character in the photo is looking down and holding her belly indicatin the the audience that she may be pregnant. i am staring at jack in hatred whilst jack is just on the floor totally clueless on the whole situation. I am dressed 'in fashion' with chinos and plimsoles although jack is just in ripped tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie. This shows that i try look after myself and look smart however jack just isn't bothered with what he wears.

The critic used is from our film magazine 'Down 2 Earth'. We also used British Independant Film awards to rate the film as it is very prestigous and would help raise number of viewers. Also our film fits into that category. The link in the left hand corner of the poster is our production website. Certificate 15.

Film Magazine

Our film magazine is called Down 2 Earth it is full of social realism films aimed at a younger generation niche audience.

Finished Filming

Today we finished films the last couple of shots we needed to complete our trailer.
We are now in the process of editing and hope to have the finished product in the next week or so.

Target Audience/Audience Theory

The Audience we are going to be targeting are from all background and of both genders from the ages 15-25. We handed out questionnaires to people to find out what they look for in social realism films and how often they watch them. Our audience is mainly working class because of the domestic fueds between parents and siblings. We have also created a mood board that will be uploaded in the next couple of days.

Music

The music we have chosen to use a peice by yann-tiersen. It is a piano peice that is slow it relates to the feelings of coldness and sadness of the characters within the trailer. The music will be played over the top of the trailer sound so it gives the trailer more feeling. I feel that this is a good peice of music to use as it has the same sound to what we are trying to portray in our trailer.
