2. Institution Logo – 12/01/15
0 Today, we filmed and edited our first institution logo. We worked form
the idea of things being written in dust and blown away. We also wanted
to edit our clip into black and white, to fit more with the theme of the
opening and be more typical of the genre. The fact that the logo is made
only of four letters put together and does not have an explanation of
what they stand for creates enigma for the viewer.
0 This task enabled me to trial one of our original ideas for our institution
logo, this task was very beneficial as our first institution worked well
and conveys certain stereotypical genres of a thriller movie.

3. Feedback from our draft footage – 13/01/15
0 To get our feedback on our draft footage, we ask three teenage girls from
our school to view our media opening draft so far, by doing this we
managed to ask them questions about our production and this helped us
to see how we can improve on our first draft.
0 By doing this task, it has enabled us to consider from our feedback how
to improve our first draft, therefore making our draft more
stereotypical.

4. The Ninth Wall - Title for our opening – 14/01/15
0 We have decided that our original agreed title name Hit & Run
doesn't suit our thriller genre as well as we first thought, this is to
the fact that one group member thought that this particular title
sounded comical and like The Simpsons phone game, which gave it
connotations of humour and animation which is totally opposite to
the genre we are trying to convey to our audience.
0 This task was beneficial as it enabled me to think of different
connotations for our new title, therefore making it link to our genre
better than our original title.

5. Filming Stars – 14/01/15
0 In our opening we will have three characters who appear on screen,
these are the Hit-man himself, the female boss (the dispatcher) and the
corpse of the person who the Hit-man has just killed
0 This task helped me to consider the three characters in our opening in
more depth, from looking at each character individually in more depth, I
am now more confident that the background information behind each
character will work well with the connotations surrounding of that
particular character.

6. Feedback 2 – 16/01/15
0 Today, we asked different genders and ages to watch our draft and to
tell us what they like and what they thought we could improve upon. By
conducting our research on different genders and ages, we have
therefore gathered opinions on a variety of ages, which we can therefore
determine our target audience as a result from this.
0 This task helped me to think more in depth about how aspects of our
draft would appeal to both teenagers and adults of different genders.
Therefore, from looking at this we can now discuss in our group, what
target audience we think our film opening would appeal to, discussing
elements which represent that particular target audience throughout
our opening, e.g. teenagers - the use of foley sounds creates tension and
as a result of this it will leave our potential teenage audience on the edge
of their seats.
