Question 4 and 5
The audience we have aimed at to go and watch our opening is for teenagers/students aged 15-21. We decided this by creating a A3 mind map at the start of our filming process and discussed what groups of people would go and see the film. The mind map helped as we could then cast our young victim as someone that relates to all of these things and make the audience really connect with the character. To attract our audience in to watching the film we used mise-en-scene to attract our audience and help them relate to materialistic features they may own themselves such as paul frank, apple macbook and disney in our opening.
Question 6
From no experience of media at all i have learnt how to use several different types of technologies from constructing our opening and preliminary task.
The first thing i learnt was how to create a blog using blogger and upload a post with links,embedding videos and images on. I also learnt how to present my work a different way by creating a powerpoint and uploading it on to prezi. I prefer to upload my work as a blog post as all of my work is on one page and the process of completing written work is quicker.
I also learnt how to set up a video camera adjusting the lighting and filming different camera shots on different devices such as an iPad and nikon Coolpix p520 bridge camera. For our first preliminary task we used iPads to film and iMovie to edit and create a short film. We also used the iPads to film our 60 second pitch and uploaded it on to iMovie to edit and put on youtube. For our horror film opening we used a nikon coolpix p520 to get a better quality film, we had a basic understanding of how to use the camera but throughout the process we learnt how to change the lighting and colour balance. We also learnt how to use tripods and get a steady shot with the camera and when filming our tracking shots to show the two settings.
We used the internet to download soundtracks from free sound and watching youtube videos of other students film openings to gain ideas and inspiration.The internet played a big part in our filming process as it helped when researching about sound and film titles from different films and horror films as a general to find out what conventions they use and the history of horrors.

we also used the internet to insert sound in to our horror film opening. We used free sound where we could search and download the tracks we wanted to use. In the editing process we learnt how to overlap sounds and change how it sounds for example the victim is listening to music through her headphones, we changed the sound so it sounded like the music was coming from her headphones.The sound plays a big part in our opening as it introduces the titles and shows the difference between the two characters.We also learnt about sound in famous movies like pulp fiction and how they use sound to represent things such as day and night.
