We felt we could acheive more by doing so, as we would have two different perspectives on all the key aspects of the coursework.<br />

<li>Titles</li>
<li>Fonts</li>
<li>Opening shot</li>
<li>Shot types + varitation</li>
<li>Continuity editing</li>
<li>Focus on main character</li>
<li>Mise-en-scene + versimilitude</li>
<li>Sound and music</li>
<li>Representations</li>
<li> Genre and its key conventions</li>
<li>How characters are introduced</li>
<li>Challenges and Limitations</li>
</ul><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And finally relate these factors to real media products.....</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Unfortunately we both suffer from talking too much...thus this vodcast is a tad long, but all the points are there and we covered all the important aspects of our media....</div><br />

We then showed them the opening to our film and this is their feedback....</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Toby:<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">As you can see</span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The main target audience for horror is teenagers and 'twenty somethings'. Age 15-24. We would give 'Sleep Tight' a BBFC rating of 15. The BBFC guidelines for a 15 rated movie are as followed,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, strong words, moderate-strong violence/sex references, and mild non-detailed sex activity.</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We chose '15' as a rating as there are flashing graphic images of an attacked girl. Her face looks bruised and there is much blood coming from her stomach and chest area. It is typical representation of a 'wet death'. The girl is in a bath with a white vest top and jeans whereas before she was wearing a blue turtle neck jumper and and a denim shirt. The change of clothing is ambiguous. A possible interpretation is that the killer stripped her of some layers in attempted sexual assault. This is another reason for why we chose 15 as a suitable rating. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our secondary audience is 24-45 as there are many middle aged people who enjoy films relating to horror. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> The rating is 15; nevertheless, many interpret this as a guideline and permit their children to watch highly rated films with their supervision. With this in mind, 'tweens' are included in our target audience. They would be able to relate to being babysat and being in a secondary school environment. Pre-teens are definitely a consumer market with teen flicks as they use the characters as role models.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In 'Sleep tight' there are nationally diverse actors and actresses. The protagonist in our film opening has a naturally North American accent due to her having migrated to Britain. This contrasts to the accents of the child 'Rachel' and the teenage actors as they have standard English accents which could be interpreted as southern English. Their dialect is similar to those typically portrayed in Hollywood films with an English accent, rather than a strong, localized accent. The easily recognizable English accents and the North American accent would help not only tap into a UK-wide audience but an international audience.</span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In our film we do portray the default hetrosexual relationship; however, this is not dwelt on as there is only a small snipet of the teenage actors holding hands. </span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The target gender audience for our film is female. The protagonist female. If we were to create the entire film, the story would continue to show the little girl grow up and be followed by her stalker who is trying to kill her. She would fulfill the role of the Final Girl and not be killed. This would draw in a female audience as there is a girl portrayed as tough, strong and resourceful. There are attractive young women in our film which would appeal to the male audience. It could be argued that the bath photos of the attacked babysitter could provide material for the voyeuristic male gaze (Laura Mulvey's feminist theory). </span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We have not included any Scream Queen archetypes such as flaunting flesh and exaggerating beauty by making them wear lots of make-up. This is because the Scream Queen is portrayed as the Final Girl. </span></span>.Becky Wholleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13740174811410060662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475641895978937998.post-90351598581349452382011-03-19T18:28:00.000+00:002011-03-21T16:34:42.548+00:00Question 5 - How did you attract/address your audience?To show you how we did this, we have created a annotated version of our final piece to show what we did within our opening two minutes that we felt would acheive this task....<br />

<div style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This software was found on the school mac computers, this meant that we only had access to it within school hours. This was a big restricting factor, but it meant we had to work fast and practically to complete the film for the deadline.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To learn how to use this software we were shown by our technician - John Cockshaw, but if we were ever in doubt a key website we used to help us was the <a href="http://www.apple.com/support/ilife/tutorials/imovie/im1-1.html">IMovie online tutorial</a>. This runs you through using the programme and was very useful for us.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The software was easy to use and we were able to create what we had hoped for. However we had a lot of difficulties with uploading our footage onto the software - we're still unsure what the issue was, it was either our tape, the camera or the software. However this meant that we had to spend extra hours re-shooting our footage and spending more time uploading than expected. </span></div><div style="color: #0b5394;"><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">To film our footage we were allowed access to the school <b>video cameras</b> and tripods. We were taught how to use these cameras within the first lessons of media. The cameras were shared between other students so a problem we had to overcome was making sure we had booked the cameras in advance to filming and taken them. It wasn't the situation where we could film when ever we wished, we had to plan around the access to the technology.</span></span></span></span><br />

If we had the money we would have liked to have used better quailty cameras, and invested in equipment which could allow us to create smoother movements, such as panning and zooming. Whereas with our cameras when zooming we found the footage to become bad quailty.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">In conclusion the cameras were useful and without them we wouldnt have had an opening. However better quailty equipment would have allowed us a more professional looking finnished piece.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="color: magenta;">To create our idents we used a programme called <b>LiveType </b>this programme allowed us to create a moving image which we could use. To learn how to use this programme the technician John, ran us through the neccessary information for us use it successfully. If we were unsure we could ask for his help or if not we could follow this <a href="http://www.livetypecentral.com/cgi-bin/livetypecentral.cgi/tutorials.html">tutorial</a></span> <span style="color: magenta;">to guide us through any problems. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="color: magenta;">Our second ident, 'Banana Drama' was created by footage we took ourselves which we uploaded onto the software and then edited in the name 'Banana Drama' by using the livefonts available.</span> </span></span></span></span><br />

It was similar to us asking someone to play the guitar for us however he created a piece which fitted our opening perfectlty. Without the soundtrack as seen in our first drafts the opening wasnt infact that scary. The soundtrack enabled us to signify our genre to the audience better.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We used a wide range of technology to create our coursework. There were new softwares we had to learn to use to complete our coursework - livetype, IMovie, Scribd etc... and there were some which we use everyday - mobiles, email, USB sticks etc. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Overall we have been very lucky with the software avaiblable to us, and it is surprising what you can create with such a low budget. With all software there is always a chance of there being problems, we were very fortunate in only sufferring several issues.</span></span><br />

We learnt that before you even come to brainstorming plot ideas, much research must be done prior to this. Our only research we did for our micro-drama, 'The Opposites', was looking at Vladimir Propp's character archetypes and trying to incorporate all of the characters into one short film. For our film opening 'Sleep Tight', we watched numerous openings of slasher and horror films and made notes on shot types used, mise-en-scene, editing, plot, sound and signifiers. We also made a note of who it was directed, produced and distributed by. This helped greatly as we were then aware of horror conventions and how to signify the genre to the audience. We drew upon the film openings we watched for inspiration for when we came to creating a film opening. Films that helped us to shape our film opening were Prom Night and When a Stranger Calls for the story line. Jennifer's Body showed us how to successfully film Point of View shots and have appropriate mise-en-scene for a girl's bedroom. We attempted to edit our photo inserts in a similar way to those in the opening of Eden Lake.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

When doing our preliminary tasks we worked in larger groups and therefore it was harder to split the workload equally. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

We filmed at Becky's house which was ideal as it was a detached house and it reflected the family home look that we wanted. When we filmed our preliminary task, we only had a few classrooms in school to choose from. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

We did this in a number of ways. Firstly, we asked our media teachers to look at it and share how it was good and how it could be enhanced. This was the most constructive feedback as they know the marking criteria and therefore what level it is at. We also received feedback from friends and family of our age via social networking sites and from our classmates as the rough cuts were projected onto the board for viewing. This was helpful as they are the target audience and so we gathered information on why they did or didn't enjoy it. From this, we process we learned that we had to make the ending more clear as people did not understand that it was the same little girl but 7 years later. We didn't receive feedback on our micro-drama until after we finished it and handed it in. If we were able to get feedback then the end result would have looked somewhat better. We received feedback for our preliminary task. This was desperately needed and it meant that Hannah's group had to re-film theirs again as the 180 degree rule was not correct. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<br />

We wanted to use a music box as we felt it corresponded well with the little girl and would be a common thing to find in a 10 year old girls bedroom. We intended on editing the noise recorded from the box to create a creepier slant to it.<br />
However this music box became unaccessible (broke) and we then had to search for another source of music. We did ask around and try find a replacement music box, but it was proving too difficult and time consuming.<br />
<br />
<br />
We then tried to create a piano piece, our friend Anna composed. We tried several different compositions and finally decided on this one...<br />

However when watching through our opening, we felt the music made the film appear less scary, and the classical music didn't fit in with the context of our film.<br />
To try solve this issue we approached John Cockshaw who said he would attempt to edit the piano piece recorded, to make it fit the film better.<br />
However when we met him he said he had created something different and wanted us to have a look at it. He had instead created a piece using a range of Zanzibar Chords, Shimmering flute, Grand Piano on Garage band. Which he created to interpose with what was happening in the opening. This suited are film much better. It made the film much more tense and generally fitted the conventions of horror music.<br />

Some are short some can last up to 5 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In some cases they play the credits whilst playing footage from the film or in others they might use a blank screen and have the credits visible while maybe using an image.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Some examples are,</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b style="color: blue;">Jennifer's Body,</b> </span><br />
<ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Establishing shot of location; big house surrounded by countryside. Tyre swing anchors it as a family home.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">POV shot zooming in to the house. Sans serif, child-like font titles in a light green colour, as if it was written with wax crayons. It is at night and lights are on inside signifying people/someone is home.</span></li>
</ol><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is an example of moving images whilst showing the credits another example of this is,</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHMht0Si7ly2LHbd92dWvOW02cooTFl9Iar3fWXDKCYCQU0ExV9DQZ7JbEZZxMyX5_1ykrkoTc-Y-4soO1uOwdNvay0QyMCg1IycKOqn8XneaYEoqs02tzaxmMTuNS2ESWTbhBSxhatSi/s1600/halloween-title-screenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</a></div><div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Silence of the Lambs 1991,</span></b></div><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig3n_vflizzSPHkLfAgPKbAPrsFcnN2iGJZe2y_99hkLZFNX_w8VjsiwLUt7Xpj2u8xRytbUaxC1e_egbEg9Pe9EjwTxSwaES9WOs6eilCUEJ8s3Qt_R5hfjXnhL8yz5NOU_V_DWFgbfPm/s1600/silence-of-the-lambs-title-screenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig3n_vflizzSPHkLfAgPKbAPrsFcnN2iGJZe2y_99hkLZFNX_w8VjsiwLUt7Xpj2u8xRytbUaxC1e_egbEg9Pe9EjwTxSwaES9WOs6eilCUEJ8s3Qt_R5hfjXnhL8yz5NOU_V_DWFgbfPm/s320/silence-of-the-lambs-title-screenshot.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In the opening we watch a young woman running through the woods. 'Woods, near Quantino, VA' appears on screen, which anchors the setting of the begining of the film. Non diegetic classical music is played this is a more sublte horror music chosen. Meanwhile we also hear diegetic nature noises such as birds. The titles appear, san serif, capitals, bold and black this creates a serious sinister look.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Shinning 1980,</span></b></div><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusN0KDX_e2w9b3dYqeoPawYwQq8xwgAoICB8wmQSja4afN2yQ41ifxOQ70Eb8WbDx4WDXXH-bnjCmYhENvYbWGGNUZ9NLLmuZLuPCPRUOw3K_mPEP3bVBmYcYXsCF9vMgyel9yJIeTVYV/s1600/the+shinning+opening.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusN0KDX_e2w9b3dYqeoPawYwQq8xwgAoICB8wmQSja4afN2yQ41ifxOQ70Eb8WbDx4WDXXH-bnjCmYhENvYbWGGNUZ9NLLmuZLuPCPRUOw3K_mPEP3bVBmYcYXsCF9vMgyel9yJIeTVYV/s320/the+shinning+opening.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Still following the car the titles begin to run over the shots, the titles are in capitals, sans serif and in a powder blue colour. This colour could connote several things, the colour itself doesn't really fit in with the context of the genre, powder blue is normally associated with oceans and calm and relaxed. However the powder blue could be used to emphasize something out of the normal, which could relate to the plot of the film. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Whereas in some other film openings, they choose to emphasize the credits more and make them the only visible thing to be seen by the audience, for example,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Halloween 1978,</span></b></div><br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The film begins with the credits. To fit in with the context of the films title the only visible object you see whilst the titles roll is a pumpkin which connotes a halloween theme to the film.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHMht0Si7ly2LHbd92dWvOW02cooTFl9Iar3fWXDKCYCQU0ExV9DQZ7JbEZZxMyX5_1ykrkoTc-Y-4soO1uOwdNvay0QyMCg1IycKOqn8XneaYEoqs02tzaxmMTuNS2ESWTbhBSxhatSi/s1600/halloween-title-screenshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfHMht0Si7ly2LHbd92dWvOW02cooTFl9Iar3fWXDKCYCQU0ExV9DQZ7JbEZZxMyX5_1ykrkoTc-Y-4soO1uOwdNvay0QyMCg1IycKOqn8XneaYEoqs02tzaxmMTuNS2ESWTbhBSxhatSi/s320/halloween-title-screenshot.jpg" width="320" /></a>The pumpkin progressively increases in size as the credits roll, the light inside the pumpkin also creates an eary effect. The tense music played increases in tempo and volume as the credits continue, the music creats more suspense as it changes the audience heart beat with the rhythm.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The titles themself change in colour from a yellow to a red. These colours can be symbolic for evil and hell.</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The credits end 1min 59 secs, the pumpkin has now zoomed in so that all is visible is the the eye and nose of the object, which also emphasizes the presence of the flickering candle overall creates an evil image through the use of the pumpkin. This is quite a low budget opening and appears so to the audience however the preferred reading has been created and the audience are aware of what film it is.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The first option can be seen as more appealing to the audience as it instantly draws them in with action whereas the latter option can sometimes be quite tedius to an audience participant who is more interested in what happens in the film than who directed it.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></b><br />
<blockquote><div style="color: red; text-align: left;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For our coursework as we only have the limit of 2 minutes, we didn't want to waste precious time on something similar to Halloween, we felt we would go for something more along the lines of Jennifers Body. </span></i></b></div><div style="color: red; text-align: left;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This would include an establishing shot of the house, giving a sense of a point of view shot. The shot would include the parents leaving the house and getting in their car, and a light being turned on upstairs, which would then lead onto the next shot of the babysitter and child in the bedroom.</span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b><i style="color: red;">So in the establishing shot we hoped to include the necessary credits to appear on the screen whilst the action takes place in the background. We feel this idea will work best under our time limitations and can be quite effective in drawing the audience into the film.</i></b></span></div></blockquote><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

All films in that specific genre contain teenage actors or actresses as does ours. Our film has a similar theme/story line to that of Prom Night and therefore we have teenage actors in ours. Our film opening to 'Sleep Tight' is set in the 1990's and the present day. This appeals to the younger audience more than period films do.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">The main target audience for horror is teenagers and 'twenty somethings'. Age 15-24. We would give 'Sleep Tight' a BBFC rating of 15. The BBFC guidelines for a 15 rated movie are as followed,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, strong words, moderate-strong violence/sex references, and mild non-detailed sex activity.</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">We chose '15' as a rating as there are flashing graphic images of an attacked girl. Her face looks bruised and there is much blood coming from her stomach and chest area. It is typical representation of a 'wet death'. The girl is in a bath with a white vest top and jeans whereas before she was wearing a blue turtle neck jumper and and a denim shirt. The change of clothing is ambiguous. A possible interpretation is that the killer stripped her of some layers in attempted sexual assault. This is another reason for why we chose 15 as a suitable rating. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">Many people who spend money on films are young and so many genres with this target audience are very successful. An example of teen horror success is:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">Scream (1996)</span></b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RbwRdV6pfj-e0MMadYnMNTO3xtj7ESWsF37CKiqIsDm2CO6KdyLp-slycxhhWVk9W5Cq3QU30VMVYZ5vEEhdIEtT3-Q3yYi6cyixOyFUghPRVP3w_wcTa2KXIzD5YkeGdJuPj0-WfaX3/s1600/scream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RbwRdV6pfj-e0MMadYnMNTO3xtj7ESWsF37CKiqIsDm2CO6KdyLp-slycxhhWVk9W5Cq3QU30VMVYZ5vEEhdIEtT3-Q3yYi6cyixOyFUghPRVP3w_wcTa2KXIzD5YkeGdJuPj0-WfaX3/s200/scream.jpg" width="134" /></a></div><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">Directed by Wes Craven. The gross takings from the film was $103,001,286 (USA).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">A new wave of low budget Brit Horror was pioneered by Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later. Shaun of the Dead, Dog Soldiers, Wilderness and Creep followed the lead. However, These were not as successful as the Hollywood films of the genre. This may be an argument against our film being successful as it would be classed as a low budget Brit horror film. Nevertheless, I feel it would be a popular film with teenagers as there are many teen horror films such as Jennifer's Body (2009), Prom Night (2008), All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006) and Sorority Row (2009).</span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">These have been successful as Jennifer's Body had had a gross of (USA): $16,195,523, (UK): £1,196,718.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Ethnicity:</span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"> Our film only contains caucasian actors and actresses. In our film we challenged the codes and conventions of horror and had our stereotypical final girl killed. We wanted her to look like the typical final girl which is white and dark haired. The young girl that we had available to play Rachel was also white and therefore we needed a caucasian teenage girl to play the older version of Rachel. </span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">We were also restricted to the actors available to us and due to the surrounding school area being predominantly caucasian we did not have a multi-ethnic cast. </span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">Jennifer's Body is an all white cast apart from one actor, Sal Cortez, who has Spanish ethnic roots. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Gender:</span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"> The target gender audience for our film is female. The main characters are female. If we were to create the entire film, the story would continue to show the little girl grow up and be followed by her stalker who is trying to kill her. She would fulfill the role of the Final Girl and not be killed. This would draw in a female audience as there is a girl portrayed as tough, strong and resourceful. There are attractive young women in our film which would appeal to the male audience. It could be argued that the bath photos of the attacked babysitter could provide material for the voyeuristic male gaze (Laura Mulvey's feminist theory). </span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">We have not included any Scream Queen archetypes such as flaunting flesh and exaggerating beauty by making them wear lots of make-up. This is because the Scream Queen is portrayed as the Final Girl.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Nationality/Region: </span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">In 'Sleep tight' there are nationally diverse actors and actresses. The main actress in our film opening has a naturally North American accent due to her having migrated to Britain. This contrasts to the accents of the child 'Rachel' and the teenage actors as they have standard English accents which could be interpreted as southern English. Their dialect is similar to those typically portrayed in Hollywood films with an English accent, rather than a strong, localized accent. The easily recognizable English accents and the North American accent would help not only tap into a UK-wide audience but a nation-wide audience.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Fans of...</span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"> Prom Night (2008) and When a Stranger Calls (2006) would appreciate our film opening as there are similarities within the plot line. It may also appeal to fans of other teenage girl slasher movies such as sorority house massacre as there are similar themes of horror conventions.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Sexuality: </span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">In our film we do portray the default hetrosexual relationship; however this is not dwelt on as there is only a small snipet of the teenage actors holding hands.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Socio-economic Groupings: </span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">Our film does not contain a complexed plot and there is little dialogue therefore it would appeal to more to a C1/C2DE audience which includes middle and lower class. Also, because the film is centered on teenagers, the ABC1 audience, upper and upper middle class, may not be drawn in as it could be argued that it is not intellectually stimulating.</span></span></div>Becky Wholleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13740174811410060662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475641895978937998.post-12449481071381628642011-02-13T13:46:00.000+00:002011-02-13T13:46:11.185+00:00HF - Using Live Type<div class="post-header"> </div><a href="http://images.apple.com/support/_images/hero_livetype.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://images.apple.com/support/_images/hero_livetype.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To produce our company idents, we have been taught how to use an application called LiveType. This was the first time we've used it.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> For our Distributor '</span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Tribal Entertainment</span>'</b> </i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">we created the entire ident using LiveType.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> We chose the background from a vast choice of moving images. We chose a rusty brown colour with different shades of brown and red resembling the ground in a jungle lit by a fire.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> For the font we used bold red, serif and capital letters. We adjusted the tracking to make the words fit closely together and we included shadows onto the background from the font. The overall effect we wanted was dark but the effect that it was lit by a fire, reference to 'Tribal'.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> For our Producer ident '</span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Banana Drama'</span></b>, </i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">we took video footage of a banana with a drawn on face being peeled or 'killed'. As it was peeled, ketchup representing blood was shown oozing from inside the skin. To finish it off, the banana was karate chopped.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> First we edited the clip on imovie and used an old film effect which created a grainy antique effect. We uploaded this and placed it as a movie background on LiveType and adjusted the timing to speed it up. We edited the name 'Banana Drama' in capital letters onto it using a live font called 'string' which the letters looked as if they were made of string and individually wobbled.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> 'Banana', as we posted before, came from both of our names joined together. We opted for Drama and the gore related aspect with the banana due to our film being in the slasher genre. We wanted a balance of comical value and also a horror twist.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> We are still in the process of finalizing our company idents as we are still to upload a sountrack to it. For 'Banana Drama' we will record the sound of someone screaming and to make it sound more animated and comical, we will speed it up so the sound resembles a chipmunk. </span>Becky Wholleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13740174811410060662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475641895978937998.post-82590305188140660462011-02-10T16:10:00.001+00:002011-02-13T15:58:53.558+00:00New Filming ScheduleWe had planned to re-film some of our new decided shots on Sunday 13th February however one of our actress's couldn't make it so we have had to re-organise another day to re-film.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For our media opening we set in family home where the babysitter is looking after a young child for the night. We wanted the house to look quite secluded, to make it look more vulnerable and isolated. This technique is used in most films, for instance in Halloween the opening shots of the deattached house make it look isolated, making the audience fear for the characters more. This is emphasized quite a lot in the modern version of When A Stranger Calls, where we see a very big house in the middle of nowhere, a long way from help. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So the house we chose was my house, although it isn't in real fact a secluded house in fact on a road next to plenty of other houses we knew we could get quite a few shots where none of these other houses were visible to make it look secluded. My house was also the most appropiate as it's reasonably close to school so we could easily film in lunch times and after school if neccessary. Also it being one of the group members houses we had easy access to it and we were easily able to adapt my room to fit the context of our film.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">In our opening we have 4 main characters and 5 actors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">There is...</div><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The child being babysat for, Rachel, around the age of 10.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The older version of Rachel, around the age of 17.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The babysitter, around the age of 16.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The older version of Rachels' boyfriend, Chase, age 16.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The fifth actor is an extra who walks past Rachel and Chase in a corridor, around the same age as them.</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For this actors we finally chose...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For the young version of Rachel -- Rachel Conlon. ( Picture yet to be uploaded.) Who is 11 years old. Using a young child in a horror opening can be quite a difficulty as many parents wouldn't want their child involved in such. However after a discussion with the parent the young girl wouldn't be around when we filmed or photographed any of the 'horror' and as she only is on screen for around 10 seconds she has little issue in being involved in any gore. We were very lucky in finding a child of the age we were looking for who was able to act to the standards we wanted. </span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For the older version of Rachel -- Mary Newton. Who is age 16, but playing the role of 17. We wanted someone who looked as similar to the younger version of Rachel as possible, therefore we need someone with blonde curly hair. We also wanted her to be pretty and have a good figure. If the rest of the film was to be created the film would revolve around this girl's life, we wanted her to be blonde, to create the effect similar to Prom Night. Where the final girl is a pretty blonde who you expect to be a scream queen but her luck saves her through the film. Sterotypically we wanted to place her in the more 'popular' group of teens. Where they attend parties and drink alcohol etc. So that she would be surrounded by mis-behaving teens which would what the film would obtain. </span></li>
</ul><br />

<ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The babysitter -- Emily Moore. Who is age 16, acting that age also. We wanted to challenge the code and conventions when it came to our babysitter, we wanted to portrary her in the opening two minutes as a final girl, so that when the audience realise she's dead its more of a shock to the audience because they expect the film to be about her. As the opening is only 2 minutes and we want to include a storyline to the begining we didn't have much time for any dialogue of sorts to portray her as a final girl so we based this idea on costume, hair and make up. We wanted a brunette which are stereotypically more likely to survive in horros, and we also wanted to her to be quite plain and simple so little makeup was used and her outfit is quite bland with blue and denim. We also covered a large amount of her body so that she doesn't appear as revealing anything. As this is meant to be when Rachel is younger we based the babysitter around the late 1990's/ early 2000's. So the clothes she's seen in place her in a later time period so the transition of older Rachel and her costume is more noticable. We based her more on When A Stranger Calls, 2006, main actress.</span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In our film we used a range of props such as...</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Toys</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Childrens books - Hansel & Gretel - a known scary children's tale.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">General childish things to make the room look like a 10 year olds.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Fake Blood - this was something necessary for the photos of the dead babysitter... we did two attempts of this using recipies found on the internet one resource we used was.... <a href="http://www.halloween-website.com/fake_blood.htm">http://www.halloween-website.com/fake_blood.htm</a><b> </b>from this we created our own fake blood and used it to show the babysitter as dead. We made several mixes and then chose the most realistic. We found our final version was realistic however if looked closely at it looked quite blotchy, and lumpy however we were going for the colour as these photos will only be shown as quick flashes so the audience wont get much of a close look at them.<b> </b> </span></li>

</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Establishing shot of location; big house surrounded by countryside. Tyre swing anchors it as a family home.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">POV shot zooming in to the house. Sans serif, child-like font titles in a light green colour, as if it was written with wax crayons. It is at night and lights are on inside signifying people/someone is home.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Close up of a scab on skin and someone picking it. Nothing to connote which gender the person is. Pans slightly to show a yearbook under the arm. Diegetic sound of the TV and non-diegetic low music playing to sound like a soft humming noise. Signifying the person is inside.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">POV shot from outside pans around the tree to view the back of the house. It is a long shot which then zooms into the house. Diegetic sound of a wind chime which in the garden. In the garden/ land surrounding the house there is a horse. This signifies that owners of the house are wealthy.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Extreme close up of a teenage girl's mouth eating/sucking her dark brown hair.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">POV shot, mid angle approaching the window the shakiness suggests that a steadi-cam is used to connote that someone is walking to the window. The noise of the TV, wind chime and soundtrack music increases in volume.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Zooms through the window to show a glimpse of the room- the TV is shown as well as a bed and a leg on it. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Close up of a large storage basket. The movie title appears in pink, cursive script. It looks like it could be an extract from a teenage girl's diary. The camera pans upwards to show that the basket was at the foot of a bed in a bedroom. There is a girl laid on the bed wearing casual clothes and watching TV. Even without the girl on the bed, it is easy to denote that it is a teenage girl's bedroom from the interior decor, such as the pink walls and posters of bands. The non-diegetic music is now quiet piano playing.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">The shopping channel is being watched on the TV. The presenter is trying to sell gym equipment. The program being watched suggests that the girl is bored and has nothing better to do/or physically cannot do anything more.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">There is a loud non-diegetic 'bang' sound as the shot changes to a side view, mid angle. In the shot is the side of the girl lying on the bed and the window in the background. In the window there is another girl wearing a black hood looking into the room at her. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Shot reverse shot of the girl looking through the window and the girl laid down responding, turning around to see what is there. A mid shot of her face not showing any reaction as the girl in the window is no longer there.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Close up of empty window.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Close up of the girl lying on the bed. This time, more of her face is visible and she looks ill due to discolouration in skin tone and eye bags. Non-diegetic sound of a girl's voice over.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">The scene changes to day and the soundtrack music becomes more upbeat. Mid angle mid shot of a window with bars on it. The camera pans down to show the back of girl sat down facing the window. It is the same girl that made an appearance in the window in the last scene. There are a lot of teddies on the floor, this could signify she has a child-like mid or state of maturity. She is wearing a patients gown. Camera pans down to show more toys, clutter and a crucifix. This could imply she is interested in Christianity or Catholicism. There are also presents on the floor, showing she is thought about a lot and visited often.<br />

</ol><blockquote style="color: #351c75;"><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Becky and I liked the POV shots and used them in our 2 minute opening in a similar way. We recorded some shots from outside looking through the window to portray the killer observing the surroundings. We also tried to zoom in through the window or move closer to it; however, because we did not have a steadi-cam we did not achieve the desired effect, instead it looked more like a handheld home video.</span></b></i></div></div></blockquote><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"><br />
