Evaluation Question 3
Distribution
Firstly we made our own distribution company named 'Retina productions' This is because partnered with another distribution company called artificial eye, we are a low budget film organisation.
Both Retina productions and artificial eye are low budget distribution companies so in order to advertise our film, we need to upload sneak peak previews of our film to YouTube in order for viewers to discover our film. Secondly we made a twitter page for our distribution company Retina production in order to gain more capital for our film.
In the past artificial eye has distributed films such as ...
All of which are independent european films. This distribution company was ideal due to the fact that we had a low budget and our film was european.
We intend on having our film being made for TV and indie cinemas in the UK. This is partly due to our budget. We have a small budget and releasing our film in cinemas world wide wont be possible due to lack in capital. Our film will be broadcasted on BBC 3 within the uk. One cinema we had intended on showing our film in is 'The screen on the Green'. This is because this cinema is both local and outlets indie european films.
We intend on advertising our film over YouTube. This is because uploading videos such as trailers and sneak peaks don't cost anything so advertising won't hinder on our budget as much as it would if we wanted to broadcast trailers on TV or show them at the Cinema. We also had some advertisement on Retina productions Twitter page.

Evaluation Question 4
Audience - The assembled spectators or listeners at a public event such as a play, film, concert, or meeting.
Target audience - A particular group at which a product such as a film or advertisement is aimed.
Having a target audience is important in ensuring the success of your film due to the fact that if you don't have a target audience, advertising to a particular target might be difficult. With having a particular target audience for example young youth, you might want to target popular age social media outlets for that age group in order to get the most exposer possible for the film.
In our film, we have chosen to target young youth, particularly females. This is because the main actor is both a young teenager (Aged 16) and is also a female. We feel as if this would be an ideal target audience for our film. Also we chose to target parents. This is because having a vulnerable teen on screen in danger might appeal to parents in a way that makes them feel like they need to take more care of their children due to their vulnerable age group. Having targeted these social groups we chose to advertise our film over twitter. This is because this is the main universal media outlet for these particular age groups.
We want to target young female teens aged around 15 and 16, that have both an interest and passion for film. This in turn will benefit us because the audience will have an actual interest in the film, making them appreciate and like it more.
Audience profile:
Age : 16
Name : Richelle Martinez
Hobbies / interests : Watching films and drawing,
Likes films with elements of suspense
and tension.
Aspirations : Wants to become a script writer.
Similar films that have the same target audience our films such as 'Shank' and 'Annuvahood'. Both these films were targeted towards young teens. Young teens could liked these films due to the fact that they felt as if they could relate to some of the things that was happening in the film.

Evaluation Question 5
Within our film, we chose to do a range of different things to attract the audience and entice them to watch our film.
Also within our film we chose to dress our main female character in trendy sportswear. This might attract people with a sense of smile or taste in the clothing displayed. We felt that this was going to attract our main target audience that being young teenagers due to the fact that in wearing this clothing, it might make the audience (Young teens) relate more with the character due to the accuracy in clothing compared to their own.
Most notably we chose to add a current, trendy song for our main female protagonist to listen to. This was mainly used to attract certain audience members with a taste in music. The song title was Route 94 - My Love Ft. Jess Glynn.
Also within the film the main actor is a young teen, we feel as if this might attract parents to watch this film. This is because parents are constantly concerned about the safety of their children. So watching this might entice the to keep more of an eye out for their kids.
Although compared to genres such the action, comedy and romantic comedy genres the thriller genre compared to other remaining genres out ranks them in viewership, this is good because we need a audience that will actually enjoy the genre we chose for our film "The redeemer".
Another noticeable thing is that the thriller genre has a good mixture of both female and male viewers. although the ratio to male to female isn't as balanced as the comedy genre it is still noticeable. This is good because it allows as film makers to have the most viewers possible, appealing to both males and females.
In our film we chose to particularly target young
teens. This because we feel as if this film will
have the most impact on this particular audience
due to the fact that our main character is also
a young teen. This overall makes the story of our
film feel more relatable to the main target
audience that being young teens. We chose to
target this particular audience over the use
of social media. We chose to target these
young teens over the social media outlets
FaceBook and Twitter. this is because
both these media outlets are the highest
grossing ones in the world. And there
popularity amongst users is rising every year.
FeedBack:
It was important to get feedback from young people aged between the ages of 14 and 19. This is because they are our target audience, and hearing direct feed back from what they are into it key due to the fact that they are the people who are actually watching the film.
When we showed the rough cut to our audience, they had some suggestions on how we could improve our film when it came to the final product. First some shots were shot poorly and as a result of this we addressed the issue and reshot some shots.
This shot is one example of numerous improvements that was made possible with consumer feed back.
Another thing we managed to do was finish the edit if the 'R' on our characters leg. We made it so that the letter R was pulsing on the characters leg, and when our character moved her hand over the R there would not be any of the letter R visible on the characters hand. This was done by an effect called motion tracking.

Evaluation Question 6
Throughout the production of our film i have learnt to use numerous different technologies to help better my final cut of the film.
The most noticeable application i used was 'premiere pro'.This is where i learnt to cut, put together and add numerous sound effects onto the shots i took. In mainly used premiere pro to cut clips, add sound and colour correct some shots.
Also we mainly used the application to cut clips and add sound sound effects. Cutting the clips down was made easy using the razor tool. This was useful because not only did it give us the ability to add match cuts within the opening title sequence, it also gave us the ability to cut away any footage we didn't want in the final production of our film.
our title credits onto our film and i also added motion tracking on
the letter R drawn onto our actor leg. With the final production
of our title sequence we added credits using adobe after effects.
This was done by adding a dynamic link onto the clip in which
i wanted the credit to be displayed
Using After effects we managed to make it so the letter 'R' was glowing/ pulsing on our actors leg, and we also managed to key out the actors hand as she rested it on top of the 'R' so that none of the 'R' was visible. This was done by an effect called motion tracking. This required me to go frame by frame to allow the 'R' to be hidden underneath the actors hand as she moves it over the 'R'. This was a long process due to the fact that we had to go frame by frame in order to key out the hand. We felt that this was necessary in order to convince the audience that the 'R' was actually burning into the actors skin.
We also used the iMacs in our media department quiet a bit. We learnt how to navigate its OS (Operating system) a skill we didn't have due to most of us being used to using Windows OS.

Font for the credits
When on adobe after effects i could not find a font that would suit our genre for our title credits so i went on www.dafont.com and found a font that i liked for the film.

Rough cut 2 feedback
pros:
- Good use of close ups throughout and a good variety of shots
- Clear Shots
- Easy to understand storyline
- good use of lighting (Shots are never to bright or dark)
here is an example of our good lighting halfway through the title sequence
cons
- However there the title credits are a little too big
- title credits doesn't match the genre
- some shots are to wide and have to much background room
This image shows a shot that is to wide, to improve this we will re shot the shot

Rough Cut Improvements
This shot we need to improve the POV (point of view) pace of the the second character by speeding it up and cutting it slightly, in post production.
Within this shot we wish to get more shots of the guy stalking/punching the main character. We feel as if this medium shot is to bland and we need more close ups of the other character.
Finally within this shot there is too much head room. To improve on this we want to break this shot up into a series of smaller medium close-ups of everything in sight.

Rough cut feed back
Pros:
- There was a good variety of shots used within the opening title sequence
- The performance of the actor was good
Cons:
-Some shots need to be re-shot, for example Figure 1. has to much head room, when we reshoot the scene will be required to be broken up into smaller shots, and not just one shot with everything in it.
-The R printed on the leg will need to be enhanced in post production, so that it glows and doesn't just look drawn on with a pen (As it obviously
was in the rough cut of the opening title sequence)

Evaluating the rough cut
1. Overall I feel as if the order of the shots made sense. It clearly showed what was going on in the opening, and that at the end all was just a nightmare.
2. Secondly I feel as if the vast majority of the camera shots was good... however there were some camera shots for example figure 1. was poorly shot.
3.I felt as if the was a wide array of shots used in our film. We used close ups, long shots and even POV shots in our film opening title sequence.
4. Overall I believe the opening title sequence to our film had great lighting, there were no scenes that we shot that were do dark that the audience couldn't see what was going on. However, if I could change one thing about the lighting it would be the forest scene, when the main character comes across the thing that has been following her, i would have liked for it to be darker to add to the suspense of the scene.
5. I believe throughout the majority of the opening the performance from the main character was great. However there was one scene where it looked as if she was smiling, which wasn't great because it was meant to be suspenseful, and having the character smile deducts from that feeling.
6. Finally I believe that we had a great range of props, and costumes and I also believe that the setting of our opening title sequence was great.
36 Final Mise-en-scene dicisions
For the stalker we choose to dress him (it) in dark colours such as black, this was so that we could contrast between good and evil between the two characters within the opening. We also put a mask on his (its) face... this was so that the audience got a sense that either the person or the thing in the mask wasn't human, or normal.

Task 5 What makes a good title sequence according to Kyle Cooper
When answering the question, "What makes a good opening title sequence?" Kyle Cooper said "it makes you thrilled to be in the theatre at this moment, getting ready to see this movie. It makes you glad that you are nowhere else in the world except where you are, getting ready to see something amazing"
He also went on to say that film companies who had a low budget were at a disadvantage due to the fact that they didn't haver the funds necessary to re shoot a shot later on if they weren't happy with it.

Task 7 order of title sequence credits "Skyfall"
1. Albert R. Broccoli's
Eon Productions LTD.
presents
2. Daniel Craig
3. As Ian Fleming's
James Bond 007 in
4. Skyfall
5. Starring
Javier Bardem
Ralph Fiennes
Naomie Harris
ect...
From the order of these credits, i can go on the assumption that the biggest names, for example Daniel Craig is put to the way before any of the other actors. However this is not due to him being a better actor by any chance, its simply because he plays a much larger role in the movie Skyfall.
