my audience: number 2

I have been using the website SurveyMonkey to create a survey. I made a short survey then posted it via Twitter to get some responses. This is the 2nd question and results.

As seen from above that 52.63% of my audience watching my final product is at the age of 17 years old. Followed by 16 years of age at 21.05%. Then, in 3rd place 18 years of age at 15.79%. lastly the ages of 15 and below is at 10.53%. 

These results tell me that the most likely age to watch my final product is at the age of 17 and above. This will allow me to price a film above 15 rated but will have to step back from the 18 rated film because as seen from my survey that I conducted the majority will be the ages of 17.

my audience : number 1

I have been using the website SurveyMonkey to create a survey. I made a short survey then posted it via Twitter to get some responses. This is the 1st question and results.

My first question is to see what gender is my audience. As you can see from the results above that most of my audience that shall be viewing my product will be male. In fact, more than half the people watching my final product will be male( 63.16%). Followed by female which was 31.58%. another results was other ( which wasn't specified ). 

This result tells me that more than half of the people watching my final Product will be intact male. This will allow me to produce more of a gritty film because stereotypical males are into that sort of films. 

special effects

over the christmas holidays i've been thinking of ways to improve my final product to the best of its ability. I already have perfect vision of the direction my product is heading in however, i wish to improve it in the best possible way to get the best outcome for my product. now, I am considering using special effects. The reason I will be using special effects is that if I will be able to pull off a special effect in my final product my grade will go up a fair amount also will make the film more realistic. However, in my final product there really is no need to use any special effects. Therefore, i'm trying to work out is it worth it. Because it could potentially ruin my product and make the outcome not look realistic.

Today was very disappointing. I have written a new script for my film which I genuinely thought was the right script to use. however, looking back over the footage i was quick to realise that it isn't what is needed to make my film flow perfectly. This is partly because of my awful acting but is mostly because the dialog is once again completely wrong. Now the last time I had filmed id recently had a hair cut. Now for a prefect flow, also to show that a lot of time hasn't past I will be having to get my hair cut again to make the film flow perfectly.

How I make my film

• To physically film my project I use the Canon 700D. This camera is perfect for me to film on my own because it has the flip out camera. therefore, when I film on my own I can see what the shot looks like without having any trouble.

• The Canon 700D will be sitting on top of a tripod. This is just an above average tripod, very easy to use. Has a level to make sure the shot is level at all times. extremely easy to tilt, rotate, rise or lower and also create a dutch angle shot.

• I have mentioned this is in a blog beforehand, however the software I used to edit my films is iMovie. This editing software is made by Apple and is very accessible for me because the computer I use is an Apple Macbook Pro.

Today I started editing part of my A2 final product. The editing software that I am using to complete my final project is Imovie. looking back at the rushes that i have filmed id noticed that it isn't good enough. however, the shots and angles I know I am going to use again. The only thing wrong with my film was the dialog. I am going to rewrite the scrip as I now know thats what I don't need in my film. I will be using the same setting which was a bedroom. however, I will be coming back to film this again as I know that it will improve my film drastically.

today I've filmed parts and different chunks of my main product. I filmed by myself only, I wanted to catch the best shots to describe my character.  id use different shots like birds eye view which meant balancing the tripod on different objects and tilting the tripod to give the effect of a birds eye view.

as seen here to your right, this is a scene where I wake up from a nightmare on the sofa. I used a birds eye view to show the the main character is part of the bigger picture. also to highlight that even though he has just woken up from a nightmare, he still is in one. The scene here in the front room took me around 30 mins to complete as I was on my own.

 Here, as seen to your left I also filmed some mirror shots.
this took along time because i wanted everything to be perfect. for example, sometimes you can see the reflection of the camera in the shower window reflecting on the mirror. thats why the shower window behind me is open because you can see the camera that i am using. therefor, this scene took me a tad over an hour to film, purely because I didn't want anything wrong with my film.

I just wanted my film to flow as smoothly as possible with no distractions.
