Question 1

Question 2

The technical aspects have helped portray the characters better. We have used different shot types to show status through each of the characters (when Jamilla takes Tarjae’s watch) this helped the audience understand who the characters were. We also used mise on scene. The props (clothing) the sound (in the beginning we used saddened music) when bullies arrived we used rap.

Question 4

https://www.facebook.com/sarah.luckman.71# 
 i have made a facebook page to answer my questions to question 4 i have used statuses, liked pages to illustrate the answer to each of the questions. the date of birth shows the age of my character.

Question 5

The roll of the rough cut feedback helped improve our teen opening as we used different shots to help introduce the characters which were teenagers.

my teen film reached the target audience through the cinema screening which was shown to the ages we targeted at. it was a success as all viewers were students so each one of them could possibly relate to the situation. we have also put it on vimeo as well...

Question 6

i have used prezi to answer question 6.

21st filming

On February the 21st Tarjae and Jamila filmed part of the opening of our teen drama at Tarjae's house. 
Some of the scene they took were: 
.The drowning scene
.Drug overdose scene 
.Suicide not scene 

Planning the voice over

We wanted to make sure the voice over was effective and draw the attention of the audience immediately

Diary entry of filming

Friday 21st - filming the drowning

Place - jamillas house

At jamillas we first planned out what we would film that day. We were a bit sceptical of the drowning and planned out how we can do it safely

We re did the drowning a numerous if times as I was having troubles going under the water without getting a blocked nose 

After filming the scenes me made sure that the scenes were where up to a good standard and we made sure we had different shots of each event.

Filming 10th feb 2014

Today our group had our first filming session. We gathered a range of different clips that we will edit into our teen drama, we took 15-20 different shoots and shoot types. We filmed many bullying scenes, we filmed this many times so we could chose the best shot to edit in. We also took location shots to show our surrondings. We shot "popular" kids to show how tarjae has a low status within the school.

This is an exmaple of what we filmed today

 

Feedback for our pitch

After our pitch we got feedback from Marisa then will help make our teen filming opening.

Advice:

- To re adjust out target audience as it may be inappropriate for ages 12, and doesn't appeal to 22 year olds.
we have now changed the target audience range to 15 to 19 this age is best suitable as the film most relates to audience of this age.

- make sure we have enough footage to cover the 2minutes
we will film enough scenes that will fit 2 minutes even extras.
