Editing Technical Difficulties

Evaluation Question 4. (Who would be the audience for your media product?)

Who would be the audience for your media product?

We have looked largely into this question throughout the course as it is a major factor that effected the creation of the product. Obviously as a movie opening title it's for people that have the luxury of a television or cinema access (obviously). Building on that though, we can gather gender, class, age, and taste.

 

AGE

 

As we have put our age rating as 15+ which means that the target audience is no one less than 15 years old. This means that the target audience age is older teenagers and young adults that are satisfied and aroused by the horror genre. Personally, this would be a perfect film for me as i am 17 and enjoy horror films and watching them with my friends. I personally think that it wouldnt be a movie someone would watch on their own, and instead with a group of peers or maybe something you may watch with a partner. A teenage couple would be perfect for this film as it would cause the two partners to comfort each other.

 

 

Gender

 

The target gender for this product isnt really specific as it's meant for both, however if i was to hazard a guess to who may be more likely to buy this product, it would probaby be male gender as the film would contain gore and graphic aspects that may be more appealling to the male population. However this would only be because of the gore, as girls might find it too disturbing but boys may want to watch it with their friends. I know i would.

 

 

Class

 



 

I would personally suggest that this product is focused on the C/D/E social class and it would attract occupations such as builders, shop workers etc. This would be because of the connotations associated with these class types. The 'lower-class' may be more attracted to this type of film because they may watch it with their friends in the evening after work and it's often suggested that 'upper-class' may find the product to have a lack of intellectual design.

How to make a horror movie vid

This is an interesting video that shows you what you need to make a horror movie realistic and as entertaining as possible.

Health and Safety

Health and Safety in the filming area is pretty basic as we arent doing anything too risky or dangerous, however, we are using certain props that can cause some harm. We have to basically overcome this by handling them with care. The main concern would be the knife for obvious reasons. Kayleigh and I will have to handle this with care and make sure we don't hurt each other with it. Thats about it as far as health and safety goes in our little task.

If we were to then go into industry filming there are procedures and laws that may have to be recognised, this link shows the risks and procedures big film idustries have to face. http://www.hse.gov.uk/entertainment/theatre-tv/film.htm

Prop List

Props we will use in our Main Task Opening Title are going to have be horror orientated obviously because the  Mise en Scene have to be related to our specific genre. This will include weapons, character props, and other items that will give off a horror atmosphere. These will include knives, balloons and fairy liquid. I will now explain why we will use each prop.

We will be using fairy liquid to represent blood when washing the knife in the scene of the girl washing up. We are using red fairy liquid because it looks and mimics blood and will almost fool the audience into think it is blood however it is just a household item. We figured that this is a good way to signify danger to the woman before the clown even arrives.

We are also going to use a knife, for obvious reasons. This is a common weapon however can also be found in a household so this again signifies danger before the clown arrives but will also be used by the clown. It will also be held by the woman as a kind of metaphor for the fact that she and clown both hold the weapon she is killed by

A balloon may  not be a household item but it is still something that isnt really connoted with danger. This is why we have chosen to use a red balloon to show the danger. We are trying to show that even the less scary items can show horror aspects and scare an audience. When the audience see the balloon it will signify the arrival of the clown and cause tension. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Production Company

This is the logo of the production company we have created. The logo has red and black to show danger and inpurity . We think that this gives a good first impression for the opening scene of our opening title sequence. The red and black will also go nicely with the theme of the clown.
The name sadistic studios is basically just to emphasise the demonic theme of horror and to just give a good first impression for our horror movie so the audience know what they're getting.
