Market Research- Interviews

After asking many people, a vary of questions i have come to these conclusions:
1. Boys/ Men enjoy more Thriller, scary films.
2. Girls/Woman enjoy Comedies and Romantic sort films.
3. Boys/Men dislike Romantic films.
4. Both women and men, ages does not impact the answer, agree the actors influence whether you watch a film.
5. A mix answer on opening sequences, however majority said it sets the tone for the film.

Unexpected Pitch

When telling  the plot of our opening to her dad, Ciara by telling the wrong plot, she stumbled across a much better beginning.
Here's her explaining it now:

Music Idea

During the night i had an idea for how we could use music in our opening sequence. I realised that the character we have created wouldn't really wear headphones when she starts running therefore we had to come up with an idea. I thought that the character's phone could be ringing, therefore the song playing would be her ringtone. This would be playing during the flashbacks/memories being shown whilst running.
This is how the group reacted when i told them my idea:

Breaking Bad Camera Shots

As a newly obsessed Breaking Bad fan, whenever watching an episode i can't help but be amazed by all the different and creative camera angles. When thinking about writing this blog post i began to start thinking of all the different shots like these which are illustrates above, and my favourites, and i have come to a conclusion and have pick my top 3, although i cannot bring myself to rank them as i think they are all amazing, as well as all the others; my top 3 Breaking Bad camera shots are: Jesse disposing of the body in the bath tub, Walt and Jesse after nearly killing Tuco trying to hide the gun and last but certainly not least is walt, second to last photograph. 

 Although i have yet to discover how i can accomplish an Breaking Bad inspired shot, i am un

 determined to have one in our opening sequence. 

Practice Filming

Although i am very pleased with our practice video after watching it a couple time i am seeing more and more mistakes which i wished i had fix but here are a few: the music not changing beat the same time of the shot changing, the sound of the clip still being on (forgot to mute it) nit having more of different camera shots. however despite these factors i am really pleased, but i will not EVER make these mistakes again!

First Time Editing

When editing the prelim  it was the first time  that any one from my group had edited. An experience that was fun but scary at the same time. There was highs and lows. Tears were nearly shed, when we thought we had deleted all  the  edited prelim as well as the footage. So all in all, it was a roller coaster ride but i did enjoy it. 

This is a print screen from the outtakes editing and the final prelim editing :
