Dreamer Evaluation tasks 4 - 7

Typical audience member

• A typical Audience member would have to be in an age group of between 15 and 25.

• This person is 18 and enjoys movies such as inception and Fight club. • 18 is a good age as it means you are likely to still be at school which

means they have spare time, unlike some who is in there 30’s having a full time job with very little time to sit down and watch a movie.

• He enjoys psychological thrillers. • His favourite films our inception as well as knowing. • In his last year of college and applying for University.• Watch’s a large amount of films as he has a lot off free time.

Movie certificate we decided to put our film the ‘Dreamer’ a 15 certificate. We choose this because our film has certain elements that puts it under the 15 category, this includes smoking and also moderate scenes of violence. This is based on the rating through the BBFC. However this cuts down our target audience a huge amount, recently however some statistics show that 15+ movies have been the most watched within the last 3 years.

How did you attract/address your audience • Throughout our film, the audience can relate to it, right

from the start when the driving is smoking and the whole cast is teenagers, as our target audience is teenagers and above, we had a teenage cast meaning that they could relate to the actors.

• They could also relate to the subject matter of misbehaving. You teenager being chased most have done something to be getting chassed by this driver.

• The audience can also relate to the driving, how the majority of our audience will of the age to be able to drive, so this is another matter they can relate to.

• If we were to advertise our film, we would use the technique viral marketing, we would use sights such as twitter, Facebook and YouTube to get word of mouth out as well.• Having such a young cast meant we could get them to help spread the world as well, the cast

could make fan pages on Facebook and also link the trailer from YouTube to there profiles which would result in more people viewing the trailer.

• We also would make Facebook pages, that tells the audience a bit more about the film and the characters, this would get the audience intrigued about the film before it has even been released.

What have you learnt

about technologies

from the process of

constructing this product

• I Sony Vegas • Video Camera • PowerPoint• Internet –– Blogger – YouTube – Specific film sites (IMDB)

• In this picture this is showing how we changed the colours to give the dreamy effect.• We used the Video FX, effect RGB to BGR. This changed the colours from red to blue, green to a

lighter green and blue to red.• As you can see from the screen in the top right this colour change worked very well, with the sky

having a tint of red and the grass being a strange green colour to give the impression of a dream even more.

• We used this just for the dream and then when Bryan woke up the colours changed back to normal.

• During our film we had a short section where we placed the dream, inside Bryan’s eye. We Did this on Sony Vegas and had to use many effect to be able to pull this off.

• First of all we used the Video FX effect, circle cut out, Centre, blurred. This gave us to images on top of each other.

• We then had to make the eye footage see through and by doing this we brought the opacity down to 32 on the dream footage and brought the opacity on the eye down to 92.

• As you can see in the top right of the screen shot, this pulled of very well and you could see Cleary everything through the eye which was a great effect.

• We used two flashes throughout our film. One flash we used when the driver kicked the runner and Bryan woke up.

• We also used the flash after the eye sequence. • We use the flash from the transactions, using the hard flash as seen above. • We used it because it gave a great effect and a good way of changing scene.• The flash can been seen in use in top right of the screen where the flash has just taken place after

the eye.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in progression from it to the full product?

• I believe almost everything I did in my Preliminary task was new and I learnt a lot, as well as learning a lot, I also used a lot in my full project.

• Also was good to learn some new techniques on the editing program before we had to edit our full project.

• Our plan was to film at light, however through our preliminary task we found out that filming in bad light didn’t look good, this resulted in me and Bryan filming in daylight instead of our original plan to film at night.

• The 180 degree rule was key in our preliminary task. Learnt the importance of this and was able to use this in my project.
