Feedback from other groups

Unfortunately i cant upload the version of our trailer or any clips because the files are too big. However, we showed the other groups our work and they evaluate and gave us targets to improve on.

Shooting Schedule

This is the shooting Schedule that our group has agreed on for filming. From this we can recognise the props that we need for filming as well as the actors for each day and the location we will be shooting at. A copy of the schedule has been sent to our actors so they are aware of the days we shall need them. We have also decided to complete filming in three days so we have time to re-film if we need to and then we can start editing as soon as possible.

Two Step Flow

"The two step flow of communication model hypothesizes the ideas flow from mass media to opinion leaders and from them to wider population. The term personal influence came to illustrate the process intervening between the media direct message and the audiences reaction to that message."

Hypodermic Syringe Theory

"The hypodermic syringe theory is a theory of media effect on audience. The term is used to describe interaction between the media and public belief, and offering the concept of people becoming affected by the information "injected" in to them through their information medium. The model tends to see contemporary society."

Social Networking Sites - Influencing Films

As part of my research i have looked in to how social networking sites may become useful advertising tools for films and production companies. Sites such as Facebook have advertisement banners down the side of the page that usually contain moving images to catch the audiences attention. These advertisements are usually suited to the type of audience using the computer. Due to the eye catching movement, this attracts a large audience and gives the audience a introduction to the advertisement so a sense of recognition can be created when the audience returns to the site. Advertising on social networking sites is very expensive due to the competition from different advertising companies. This means that it is highly unlikely that we shall use the method of social networking sites to advertise our film. However, social networking sites also use another method to create advertising links. Most film websites have a link to websites such as Facebook, which the audience can join and post comments and feedback, giving them the chance to interact with the film. I have therefore ensured that i have created a link to Facebook to help expand the advertisement of the film.

Location

This is the setting we are using to film the bathroom shots. The first photo shows a different lighting to the second so we know how they will look when we are filming. The Bathroom looks feminine making it realistic to be the bathroom for the main character. As most of the teaser trailer will be sot in the bathroom is it important that we have picked the right setting.

This location again links to our main protagonist, as the room is realistic and girly. This will be Chloes room. The pink shown in the shots relates to the genre of romance as well as other props that are shown in the shot.
