We interviewed many candidates for two acting roles in our main project. After a long discussion, Tom Smith was chosen to play the policeman due to his height matching the stereotype of policemen. Livy Veale was selected to play the girl because her availability fit our filming schedule, though her previous experience and size could enhance the video's quality by eliciting vulnerability from audiences.

Emily learned that audience feedback is invaluable for creating a production that audiences can enjoy. She found smaller screenings with peers provided useful feedback on continuity issues and clarity. This helped Emily plan more thoroughly. Audience members praised the film's use of sound and music, saying it fit the characters and mood well. Post-filming interviews with the target audience helped develop the narrative and follow audience interests. Constructive criticism noted the need to further develop the main character's illness progression. Quantitative research through questionnaires allowed issues like certain acting performances to be identified and improved. Overall the feedback was positive and showed the film succeeded in its goals of appealing to its target demographic.

The filmmaker challenged and developed conventions of real media in their short film "Promise". They developed the narrative from "The Fault in Our Stars" by evolving the protagonist Ellie from Hazel. They also developed the use of technology like texting between characters. However, they challenged typical short film narratives by using a more complex storyline and multiple locations. They also challenged the sexualization of female protagonists by portraying Ellie in an innocent light as she deals with her illness. Overall, the filmmaker researched conventions of short films and genres like romance dramas to both develop and challenge conventions in their own short film.
Creative critical reflection 2
The document summarizes the criteria reflection for an opening action film sequence created by Manoli Yammine. The sequence was aimed at attracting young men ages 15-30 who enjoy action and adventure. Feedback was gathered through surveys to understand different audience perspectives. Key elements like costumes, settings, fast-paced music and a car chase scene were used to clearly identify the genre and keep the audience engaged. Additional action scenes and background music were later added based on audience feedback to better convey the film was an action genre.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses audience testing and targeting that was done for a film project. Small focus groups were conducted after early drafts to receive feedback from the target audience of teenage males. The focus groups said the first draft needed more action and shorter shots during a dressing scene. Re-filming that scene addressed this feedback. Additional focus groups provided input on title sequences and sounds that were incorporated. Throughout the film, tension, drama and grief were included to provide desired emotional experiences for the target audience. Relatable elements like a point-of-view car shot and a typical teenage boy's sports bag were also included. Themes of winning, losing and overcoming challenges in life were represented in the narrative.
Evaluation 3
The group created a production company called 'JJJ Media' because each of their names start with J. They chose a clapperboard logo because it is associated with film and immediately conveys what they do. They included their establishment date and the colors black and red, which are linked to thrillers, their intended genre. As an upstart company, they plan to crowdfund their first film, Underpass, through Kickstarter to pay for better equipment. They listed only their names in the credits since they solely produced and edited the film themselves. They believe Underpass would be released similarly to well-known thrillers Scream and Silence of the Lambs due to comparable storylines and target audiences.
Assignment 32
The team held auditions for three teenage boy roles in their film about possession. Over 200 actors auditioned and had to learn and perform a script without dialogue to test their acting abilities. The three boys who were selected stood out for taking the roles seriously and believably during the audition process. Vincent was chosen because he fit the teenage stereotype and brought excellent acting skills to the screen. Jordan was selected for standing out and making the possession genre more realistic for audiences. Liam was picked due to his phenomenal acting skills and determination to work hard both on and off screen.
media evaluation - Question 4
The document discusses the target audience for a media product. The primary audience is identified as teenagers who enjoy films and entertainment, as the main characters in the action/crime film are teenagers even though they play adult roles. The secondary audience is identified as middle-aged males, as research shows they are the most common viewers of action films. The target social class is identified as teenagers aged 13-35, with a 12A certificate, as the plot and young actors would appeal most to this group. Research also showed more males watch action films than females. The target audience is identified specifically as male teenagers, as statistics show males at a younger age prefer action films, and having teen characters in lead roles makes the film more relatable to

The document outlines a film project by Edd Chettleburgh and Aston Bicknell. They will create a 5 minute short film about vengeance told from the protagonist's perspective. They chose this topic to express the hardships people face during upbringing. Both students will be involved in editing, camera work, directing, and asking drama students to star in the film. They plan to use Sony Vegas Pro 10 and Adobe After Effects for editing to make the film as professional as possible. The main theme is vengeance, inspired by films like Kill Bill, Batman, and Taken.
Audience feedback
Audience feedback will allow us to identify areas that our target demographic found effective about our trailer, as well as areas we can improve upon.
Audience Feedback
The peer feedback received from Amber, a fellow media student, was mostly positive. She praised the variety of shots, effective final punching scene, and suitability of the fast-paced music. However, she suggested improving the opening shaky shot, cutting the long running shot, making the reviews larger and longer, and re-editing the fight scene to better represent the action genre. The feedback will help strengthen the trailer by fixing technical issues and giving more of the storyline to attract audiences.

By incorporating elements of hardship, they aim to increase awareness of pain suffered by the less fortunate. They will ask drama students to star in the film and will edit it using Sony Vegas Pro 10 and Adobe After Effects CS4.
Evaluation 5
The filmmakers aimed to attract their target audience of young people interested in romance by including conventions of romantic comedies in their opening sequence, such as hearts and lighthearted music. They also hoped to make the film relatable by featuring two main characters who are 17-year-old girls with very different personalities, so that many female viewers would identify with at least one of them. Props were heavily featured on pinboards to immediately characterize the two main characters for viewers before they appeared. Special effects like green screen were also used to make the film seem more interesting compared to typical romantic comedies.
Question 4 evaluation
The document discusses the target audience for a media product. The primary audience is identified as teenagers who enjoy action and entertainment, as the main characters in the film are teens played by young actors. The secondary audience is identified as middle aged males, as action films tend to attract more male viewers in that age range. The target social class is identified as C2, D and E, which are working class, though higher social grades may also be attracted by the film's production quality. The main target audience is identified as male teenagers, as statistics show younger males prefer action films, and having teen leads means younger viewers can better relate to the characters. A survey was also conducted to help inform the film's plot, props, and other
Screen testing
The document summarizes screen testing done to cast the roles of Tom and Anna for a film. Actors were auditioned and narrowed down to top candidates. Arran Sharma was chosen to play Tom for his passion for acting and experience in different roles. Jordan Hewitt was selected for Anna as the group felt she was best suited to portray the character as they envisioned.
Presentation To 20th Century Fox
The document proposes a short film called "Rose Romance, Rendezvous and Rebellion" about a young upper class woman named Rose who falls in love with her family's gardener, William, despite their class differences. They plan to show the short film before feature films to enhance the viewing experience. They conducted focus groups that responded positively to the romantic story and black-and-white film style. Young, up-and-coming actors will be cast in the roles to keep costs low and give newcomers experience. The filmmakers hope to work with the company to produce the short and explore other genres.
Discuss the importance of the audience to media
The document discusses the importance of audience feedback to the film industry. It explains that film studios spend significant time and money conducting test screenings and market research to understand their target audience's preferences and reactions. This helps the studios tailor their films' content, marketing, and distribution to appeal to audiences and maximize financial success. The document also describes how the author obtained audience feedback at three stages of their own film project through screenings and questionnaires. They used this feedback to identify needed changes, such as clarifying a character, and refilmed scenes to improve the film based on this input from their target demographic.
Evaluation q1
Our target audience for this media product would be people between 12 and 20 years old, as the film received an age rating of 12. This age group would be interested in similar genre films like mystery films with mistaken accusations. Scenes of brief violence in flashbacks are what resulted in the age rating of 12, making the film potentially uncomfortable for those under 12 to watch. The film is consistent with other products for this 12-20 age range audience due to the lack of inappropriate or uncomforting scenes.
Casting and auditions
The document summarizes casting, auditions, and screen tests for a short film. It discusses:
1) Advertising available roles and contacting specific actors who would be a good fit. Auditions were held for the roles of Ellie, Sam, and Dave.

Evaluation q 4 5
The target audience for the media product is females aged 15-45 from various socioeconomic classes. This is based on research of romantic film statistics showing the primary viewers are female and ranging from teenagers to adults over 45. The film features a 16-year-old female protagonist and 17-year-old male protagonist to particularly attract teenagers who can relate to the young love story. While mainly targeting females given research showing they prefer romance genres more, it also allows for some male viewers through couples watching or interest in the male gangster character. The film portrays characters from different classes through their costumes, locations, and props to appeal to audiences across socioeconomic backgrounds.
Q1 140418173156-phpapp02
The document discusses the planning and influences for a film opening sequence. It analyzed the social realist films Adulthood and This is England to understand how to attract their target audience. They decided to follow Adulthood's style of fast cuts and music to build tension. Locations were chosen to match the social realist genre. Character costumes and styles were based on stereotypes to make them relatable. Overall, the film opening was influenced by Adulthood but with some differences like introducing the title later and including female characters.

Question 1
The document discusses how the filmmaker's opening sequence for an action film used conventions of the genre. It describes including a foot chase scene near the end to signal to audiences this was an action film. Music was chosen to fit the fast pace of the chase scene. Shots from the floor as characters ran over the camera were used to further engage viewers.

Actor Design
The document discusses casting choices for roles in a music video. Actors were chosen based on their appearance fitting the roles, availability for filming, and ability to work comfortably together. The main female character, Amy Power, was selected for her attractiveness and ability to look "revealing and 'slutty'." Jamie Nuttall was chosen to be kissed because he looked right for the part and knew Amy Power. Extras were selected to have a variety of appearances but not stand out, in order to not draw attention away from the main character.
Actor design

Casting for [REDACTED]
This is my presentation on the casting choices my team and I made for our A2 production. Casting is very important for this film, as if we don't choose the right people, the film could give off the wrong genre and seem almost like a parody.
Presentation1
The document summarizes the improvements made from the student's preliminary task to their thriller film project. For the thriller, they planned camera shots more effectively to enhance emotion. Costumes, props, and location were used to better fit the political thriller genre. Editing techniques like wipes and quick cuts added suspense. Sound effects like music and gunshots created tension and surprise. As a team, they collaborated well, sharing ideas and taking on roles for stronger contributions.
Evaluation 5
Our film opening uses upbeat music with a drop to emphasize opening scenes and their meanings. We chose a young white male protagonist to appeal to a wide audience without stereotypes, allowing viewers to relate to him as a young average person. Similar to films like Alex Rider and James Bond, we used techniques like fight scenes shot in a CCTV style and filters to seem more realistic. However, we made the fight clear to showcase the protagonist's skills whereas those films use close-ups to build more thrill. Our unique selling point is the plot - through opening scenes we learn of the protagonist's capabilities but are not told the plot, making us work to understand three introduced characters and their relationship to the mysterious protagonist based on their actions and

G321: Planning - Casting
The document discusses casting choices for a thriller film. It considers casting Beth's older brother as the Detective despite his young age of 18, as most other options were unavailable. Joe's younger sister will play Charlotte Adams, though she is blonde while the character description called for black hair. The role of The Shade will be easiest to cast as the entire body will be covered. Mini-auditions will be held for all roles to ensure the best casting choices or find alternatives if needed, and availability is important so filming is not delayed.
Task 8 (1)
The filmmakers had several issues during production that required changing their storyline and locations. Their main character was unavailable so they had to find a new one. The onboard microphone also had issues, forcing them to use background noise. Some rooms were occupied, so compromise was needed. Despite challenges, they were able to get some good shots including wide, panning, close-ups and tracking shots to develop the story. Acting was also good. Editing in iMovie was simpler than professional software. Multiple reshoots from different angles helped improve the story.
Presentation1
The document provides an analysis and comparison of the camera work, mise en scene, editing, sound, and teamwork between the student's preliminary task and their thriller film project. For the preliminary task, the camera work showed a fight but lacked strong meaning and emotion. Costumes and props were also lacking. Editing was simple with no major techniques. Sound used only diegetic dialogue. Teamwork skills have improved from the preliminary to the thriller project where more effective techniques were used, such as close-ups to show emotion, props to enhance suspense, editing to build tension, and sound design to manipulate the audience.
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
The document discusses using Survey Monkey to get audience feedback on a student horror film project. The survey responses helped the students understand what typical elements audiences expect in a horror film, such as jumpy scenes, a psychotic villain, character deaths, and an ending shrouded in mystery. However, the students also wanted to subvert some expectations and try different approaches, such as using an older main character rather than the typical teenaged victims. Getting this feedback helped guide their creative choices while filming to appeal to horror fans but also surprise them.
Chosen characters
The document discusses the casting choices for the opening sequence of a romantic comedy film. Jack was chosen to play the character of 'Jimmy' because he could easily transition between Jimmy in a video game and in his own room. Jamie Richmond was selected to play 'Cheekygirlxoxo' as she had drama experience and looks that matched their target audience. Nick was picked to play Jimmy's father due to his comedic abilities and close friendship with Jack, which would help portray their father-son relationship.
Media Why We Chose Our Actors And Actresses Plus Props Etc
The document discusses planning for a horror film trailer, including choosing actors and actresses to portray main characters and extras, selecting appropriate props, costumes, makeup, and test shots. Darren Winter and Hannah Morris were chosen as the main characters Sam and Imogen based on their suitable ages, appearances, and abilities to portray the roles as intended. Megan Morris, a friend in their group, was also selected to portray another victim. Props like fake blood and a kitchen knife were used to depict violence. Costumes featured dark clothes for the killer and light clothes for vulnerable victims. Minimal makeup was applied to victims to portray natural, everyday characters. Test shots helped improve camera angles and character movements.
Evaluation 1
The document discusses a 5-minute short film called "Our Media Product" that uses the genre of social realism. It follows the lives of two best friends, one of whom commits suicide after being continuously bullied for kissing the other's ex-boyfriend. While social realism films typically have expected, realistic narratives, this film challenges conventions by including an unexpected, dramatic ending where the character hangs herself. It also takes time in the beginning to introduce the characters, which is uncommon for a short film. Overall, the film draws from social realism techniques but adds elements of thriller/horror and surprise to challenge expectations of the genre.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of the social realism genre in three key ways:
1) It features all female characters rather than following the typical male-dominated narratives. This portrays the strong female characters overcoming difficulties alone.
2) It features Asian characters in the leading roles, challenging stereotypes that social realism stories only surround white or black characters.
3) Rather than revealing all backstories immediately, it gradually reveals details about the characters' problems throughout the opening to build intrigue. This pacing technique deviates from conventions.
Evaluation 2
The filmmaker challenged and developed conventions of other media in their short film PROMISE. They based the film on the romance drama genre and took inspiration from films like The Fault in Our Stars for the narrative and use of technology. However, they challenged typical portrayals of females by making the protagonist Ellie modestly dressed and focusing on her illness rather than sexualization. They also developed the characters' lives to reflect popular culture with extensive texting scenes. Throughout production, the filmmakers worked to balance conventions like limited characters and locations with a complex narrative to engage audiences.

In the document, the author discusses the film techniques they used in a preliminary task film about a rumor being spread, including shot reverse shot, match on action, and following the 180 degree rule. They then discuss how they further developed these skills in their final film, such as using more advanced match on action, varying the camera angles, and adding titles. Specifically, they focused on using shot types like POV shots, low and high angle shots, and close ups to add suspense and isolate the protagonist in their final film.
Evaluation 1
Our media product is a 5 minute short film that sticks to the genre of social realism for most of its runtime by following the lives of two best friends and depicting the impacts of bullying. However, it challenges conventions by including a twist ending that transitions to thriller/horror genre when one of the friends commits suicide due to bullying. This crossover of genres is unusual for most films outside of romantic comedies. The film aims to leave viewers feeling scared and uncomfortable at the conclusion, similar to inspiration film "Mud Boy".

- 2. We have interviewed a number of people for the two acting positions for our main task. The interview process was very successful, we had a surprisingly larger turnout than we initially expected. There were various characteristics of each candidate and we can say every person who interviewed did extremely well. It was an incredibly difficult decision to make, we all had different preferences but after a long dispute, two actors were chosen.
- 3. For the role of the policeman we have selected Tom Smith who seemed to convey the facial features and height of a policeman, as they are renowned for their height. This allows the actor to fulfil his representation by being a highly regarded figure within the film. In addition his availability suits our potential filming days so he was the clear candidate for the role.
- 4. The position of ‘girl’ was given to Livy Veale who narrowly prevailed due to her availability. But we were able to suit the role around her due to the great traits that she could bring into our main task. Her small size makes her appear lower and more vulnerable to the audience as well as a previous acting experience which can allow the overall quality of our video be far better.
