Facebook Group (Michael Ariyo)

We Needed To Advertise Our Product And The Best Way Now To Do That Is Online, On Social Networking Sites. And We found That The Most Popular Social Networking Site To Do That Is Facebook. So I Went And Created A Facebook Group For Our Product.

Editors Journal (Michael Ariyo)

Today I was Given The Opportunity To Have A Different Roll In The Group Seeing As Circumstances Did Not Enable Me To Carry On With My Roll As The Director. So I Opted To Be The Editor.
And In The Night Class I Was Shown How To Use Final Cut Pro Which Is An Editing Software used For Editing.



At First It Was Kind Of Unfamiliar But I Soon Got The Hang of It And Started Editing The Footage. The Task Was To Make A Two Minute Clip And I Had Already Cut It Down From Ten Minutes Down To Three Minutes And there Was Still A Huge chunk To Edit. After I Edited It Down To Two Minutes All That Was left To Do Was Find Suitable Music From Sound Track Pro Which Is Software That Contains Music Clips And Sound Effects.


At First There We found Good Sound Effects But We Couldn't Find Good Score Music Then We Found A Suitable Score Music For Our Film And The Editing Was Finished All That Was Left Was To Upload It Onto Youtube.

Audience Analysis Research (Michael Ariyo)

Questionnaire

Score notes (Michael Ariyo)

The score music is a very important part of a movie as it connotes its genre to the audience. For Example If It Was A Horror Movie Like Saw It Would Have Slow Erie Music Rather Than A Fast Paced Music Like James Bond. The Score Music Sets The Scene, So For Our Score Music We Will Be Having Fast Pace Music, Or Something That Thrills The Audience Like A Heartbeat.
We Will Be Using The Software Such As Soundtrack Pro For Our Score Music as It Comes With Preloaded Music Instead Of Creating Our Own Therefore Saving Us Time.



After Finding Suitable Score Music We Will Upload It To Sound Cloud Which Will Allow Us To Publish The Music Onto The Blog.



This Is Our Score Music

I Believe It Represents The Genre Well Because Its Fast Paced, And Gives The Audience A Sense Of Being Thrilled

Audience

The Target Audience Our Production Is Aimed At Are For Our Film We Are Aiming It At A 15-25 Age Range, As Our Film Will Be Rated A 15 Certificate We Would Be Aiming It Towards This Segment. Our Film Will Interest More Males Than Females, As The Opening Scene Is A Torture Scene, Which Would Captivate A Male Rather Than A Female Audience. It Would Not Really Appeal To A Race Because they Are Both Of The Same Ethnicity So There Is No Interracial Torturing.

Our Production Will Appeal To Our Target Audience Because We Have Researched What Genres They Prefer And Have Catered To The Needs Of The Audience
