Research and Planning - Current Progress

We are making steady progress as the editing of our beginning two minutes for our film is near completion, soon i will be able to make a personal evaluation of the work we have achieved. We attempted to put across our storyline as much as possible within our two minute opening sequence; introducing charachters and portraying their lifestyles. However because of the time length requirements this wasn't always possible. To ensure our video was 2 minutes longs some shots had to be cut out, consequently this slightly altered the main outcome of the two minute clip.

As a group we are currently making steady progress, our editing of our two minute opening is near completion. We attempted to stick to our original story board as much as possible, and resemble our film story line as much as possible too. However as we had to cut some shots out to have the corrected time length required some elements were not possible to fill in therefore are finished product doesn't quite match our original plan. Soon I will begin my personal evaluation of the work I have done. This should enable me to have completed everything that needs to be done and save myself enough time to read over everything and make alterations where necessary.

Research and Planning - Audience Profiling

I looked at 3 films that i thought were quite similar to mine and looked at their audience profiling using the Pearl & Dean website. I did the research so that i can make my film specific and suitable for our target audience.Parent Trap - Its target audience were families. Their focus was 15-24, both to male and female. Their cultural audience was 25+ ABC1.Twins - There target audience were families. Their focus was 15-24 year old, both male and female. Their cultural audience was 25+ ABC1. Somers Town - Its audience was families. Their focus was 15-24 year old, both male and female. Their cultural audience was 25+ ABC1.I found these three films were most similar to the opening film in which we are producing, leaving me with a good generalised understanding on the target audience we should aim at. Suprisingly all films came under the same target audiences, giving us a well supported structural understanding on the audience we should target in our opening two minutes.
