Evaluation Activity 4.
Who would be the audience for your media production?
The genre for my film 'Release Date' is action/crime. so simply due to the genre alone, i would say our audience will be teenagers, how ever not all teenagers are interested in the same thing. so i would say teenagers in the deprived areas of London.
Name: Dujuane Chapman.Age: 19
Location: Tottenham.
Occupation: Working in New Look.
College: Haringey Sixth form Center.
Dujuane's favourite genre is Action and Thriller. He shops in the local high street and his favourite type of music is Grime. His favourite type of tv programme is Dub-plate drama.
Dujuane states "I would watch your film, simply because its something i can relate to, and also because i love action movies. There is not a lot of British movies in the UK today, so thats another reason why i would go watch release date but the main reason is because of your key selling point, the fact that he could live such a life style and not die in the end but how ever turn his life around and succeed in life, makes me feel postive about myself and every other youth living in deprived area's that there is hope for all of us."
Name: Sharon Charles
Age: 18
Location: Edmonton.
Occupation: Student.
College: Leyton Sixth form.
Sharon's favourite genre is Action, Comedy And Romance. She shops in the local high street and her favored's type of music is Slow Jams. Her favorite type of tv programme is 'My Wife And Kids' and ' Fresh Prince Of Bail air'.
Sharon quotes "I would love to watch 'Release Date' because from what I've heard about this film, it has found a way to mix both of my two favorite genre's (romance and comedy) as it is not just a movie about crime but also a juxtapose with emotions, and as a girl this has attracted me. Also because 1 out of 5 Household families in the UK would go through a similar situation and not know how to handle it, but by watching the movie Release Date' it shows them how not to handle certain situation. For example when Thomas told Jayde to rob the bank which was wrong, however in certain parts it shows them how to handle a similar situation. For example when Thomas trusted his blood brother to look after the money instead of giving outside friends "Blood is thicker than water".'

Audience Types
Audience is an very important aspect to the media industry, as without and auience the media insdustry would fail. There are various types of audience.
Cult consits of a small, loyal group of people following a particular media text. Example Godzilla, saw, a nightmare on elm street etc.
Subversive consist of an audience that watch controversial media texts that could offend. Examples would be Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park. EtcAbstract is when the understanding is based on the reader as there is no narrative, so the reader creates the narrater. Example would be Eraser Head.
Release Date is rated 15 and i expect the audience for our movie to be more of cult, simply because our movie is directed to a particual audience, and not really to the older generation.180 Degree Rule.
The 180 Degree Rule
The 180 Degree Rule is a guideline on making sure that two characters are always on the same left/right relationship to each other, it is normally used in talking converstations when two people are facing directly opposite each other. The 18o Degree Rule helps the audience to visually connect with unseen movement happening around and behind the immediate subject. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
However.....
The 180 Degree Rule does not always have to be followed and some directors break it to cause disorientation. An example is when Christopher Nolan controversially broke this rule, in The Dark Knight in the interogation scene between the Joker and Batman.
In this scene the director is trying to how that these to characters are not as different as Batman would like to believe, and that the Joker does still have some control even though he is the one being interrogated. Furthermore, in the conversation between the two characters the Joker say's 'tonight you're gonna break your own rule'. This phrase directly links to the 180 degree rule being broken, making it cleverly fitting to the scene.

For my first pratice taske, we had to film a fighting sence using differnt camara angeles, so we could get use to it and how to editi and put it together.
This was my first time filming and editing.
Final Cut Express
For my first time ever editing , we were assigned to use final cut express. We where then taught how to upload our footage on to final cut so that we could begin to edit.
- First we had to connect the video recorder to the apple mac.
- Then we had to set the setting, to the setting of the camera.
- Then we had to click on file and system set up and choose where we want it to save.
- Then we had to click on file and the press capture.
I learnt how to edit using final cut express, on this i learnt how to inpoint(where you want your edit to start from) and how to output (where you want your clip to stop). I also learnt howe to drag clips onto a time lime, alter a sound, use colour correction, makes clips blend, add titiles. etc.
