5. How did you attract/address your audience?

We attract the audience by using younger actors to relate to the younger audience to show it doesn't happen to just older age group but it can happen to any age. on the other hand, the storyline of the production would attractive an array of young adults due to the romantic connotations used in the film. Therefore anyone can be attracted by the film as it appeals to different audiences.

We also use an audible voice over, which is a first person narration of 'yacob's thoughts, is constructed to conjunct with the audience in a way that they are involved in 'yacob's scenario therefore having empathy for his predicament.If they can relate they can see themselves involved in the film. Perhaps the same situation has happened to them so they know exactly what is happening and how it attracts them, and indeed helps the audience think what they'd do in 'yacob's predicament choose the correct path.

The use of music is also key due to its cinematic feel it obtains as it sanctify's with the voice over. the piece of music used is a classical piece composed by the popular composer Karl Jenkins. this in it self should attract another aspect of audience due to the use of contemporary music.

This is a screen grab of Jacob Collins Brown applying the voice over onto the films timeline. A script was constructed for the narration which was recited until the we were satisfied with the outcome.

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

As a group we en counted minor setbacks at the start of production as any other amateur production company would encounter.But with the leadership of Jacob Collins Brown and craft of Steven Reid we prevailed and overcame these minor mishaps.

When constructing our film sequence we didn't have much preparation , for example ; shot list and detail to performance (acting) during filming, but with the guile and poise of Jacob during the editing stage, we began to link our shots and bind it to bring an uphold of satisfaction. Evidently in order to bring more quality to our production, we needed a wider variety of shots , such as ; the 'mid' shot of 'yacob' walking into the woods (which was captured by our camera man Steven Reid. who was poised on top of a tree as he attained this prestigious shot). We learnt that is was hard to capture certain shots just once but need many more takes at it as an insurance for the group and also gave us more options during editing.

This is a screen grab during the editing stage of production. it is crucial in film that each shot conjuncts and compliments each other, so attention was vital in an for success.

We thought filming with the camera's would be an obstacle to the group but Steven the camera man was not phased and produced very technical shots which were accumulative to the quality of the film its self. Also the editing soft ware (final cut pro) proved to be a thorn in the side of the group due to the constant freezing of the software , but Jacob Collins Brown, the groups editor, sacrificed a lot of hours beyond college hours to ensure his groups film was completed with composure and not just being rushed. All in all that we attained some trouble during production, due to technical hitches with equipment we were assigned but the extra hours Jacob Collins Brown spent on the film has proved well and has seemed to be very productive.

7. Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you think you have learnt from the proggression from it to the full task?

The preliminary task was crucial for us as a group to be able to develop and build on the new skills we have attained. The world of film making we learnt new skills and filming rules such as the 180 degree rule, which eventually came into play but did not prove to be a burden for our film. If the rule was not upheld in our film then it would have consequently made our production decrepit.

This is a shot reverse shot of 'yacob' and his best friends girlfriend. Which required abiding by the 180 degree rule during the takes with an aim of attaining legislated shots.

As a group we had to learn and use a wider range of shot to make the film move exciting because we only used a limited amount of shots when filming the preliminary task therefore the preliminary was a stepping stone for us in aim of reaching bigger and better things for our final film. The preliminary task additionally showed us that something so simple as sound/music could provide a spark for a boring scene, this was because the preliminary task was dull and boring but upon experimenting with a few sounds during the editing stage, it seemed to resurrect up the scene and make the shots stimulating.

This then allowed us to spend a generous amount of time making a suitable sound track for our film which in effect meant our final film was greatly improved. If it were not for the preliminary task, where we experimented with many transitions and contrast techniques, we believe our final film would lack the craft and technical composition which it now has.

We believe that upon watching both the preliminary task and the Final film you can witness a leap of quality in contrast to one another with the final film having much higher eminence. Moreover, we made many mistakes in the making of the preliminary task, we believe that these mistakes were crucial in order for us to make a good film. This was due to the fact that upon making the mistakes and noticing them you can then make greater checks in order to make sure and avoid the previously made faults.

Spider Man 2

We took inspiration from "Spiderman 2", where Peter Parker (spider man) falls in love with his best friends (harry Osbourne) girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson. spider man would "go to worlds end" for Mary-Jane Watson, who he infectiously adored

and harry wanted "Retribution" for this.

Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter are not sure weather and how to commute their love to each other. His best friend Harry (James Franco) still hates Spiderman for killing his Dad. And to make matters worst there is new villain on the prowl. Otto Octavious (Alfred Molina) is a scientist and nice person on the verge of great scientific invention when something goes horribly wrong and he looses control of his mind and turns evil.

This a still picture of best friends peter Parker and harry Osborne. Best friends who's bond is separated by the love of Mary-Jane Watson, harry later on in the film seeks "Retribution" on spider man (Peter Parker) for"taking his girl".

Film Planning

As a group , we came together to allocate times when we could under go filming. Influences on this were our commitments to our other AS subjects and also the weather forecasting. We used google to gather information on the weather forecast.This proved to be of great value to us because it allowed us to plan ahead a use the days we couldn't film on planning the different aspects of the production.

Due to the prolonged research attained by Jacob Collins Brown, we gathered we had to film in our historical location of St Peters square first, this was due to the renovations that would taking place a few weeks later.

These are some photographs of the undergoing renovations at St Peters square, a few weeks after we obtained our shots from this location.
