Reflection 

Looking back on the experience of making our film opening there have been a few things that I would have changed and a few things that I would keep the same. 

One thing that I would make different if I did it again would be to improve the fight scene and up the pace. Another thing that I would change would be to use better cameras and have better dialogue throughout the opening. 

How ever I felt as though we did well on the make-up front. We spent a lot of time preparing and it paid off and is visible in our final film opening. 

Overall the experience was one full of learning curves and I have benefitted and gained skills in editing amounts other things.

The reason for carrying out the interviews were to show who our target audience would be for our film ‘Cold blood’. In the interview we use two people one a 16 year old female and the second a 17 year old male. These people were our perfect target age within the age range through teenage years and early adulthood.

Over the top of the interview recordings there are clips of the programmes and films, which were mentioned throughout the interviews. Each of the clips has relevance to our film.

We expect our audience to have watch similar things to what our interviewees have said in ‘teen wolf and walking dead’ these are both TV programs which entice the audiences through the horror aspects of things. We target this group of people by using certain aspects of things that appeal to this kind of people.

The secondary audience would be the people accompanying these people for example friends, family and partners.

Special Effects

Lack of budget, equipment and technology.

Used slow motion and sped up some scenes.

Relied on editing software – Final Cut Pro

Most sci-fi and horror films use special effects like green screens and have higher budgets to work with.

Title, Font and Style

Black and White, Bold, Decaying 

Sense of Importance

Catches your attention

Ominous

Font similar to apocalyptic films but also can be very different to horror and sci-fi genres.

Setting up of the story

Audience feel disorientated at the beginning, only to be clarified when the film will go back in time after the opening.

Dive right in to the middle of the story.

Main characters introduced.

Ends on cliff hanger – what is going to happen next?

Doesn't start from the beginning like most films - challenges expectations

Costumes and Props

Contact lenses and scale make up, fake blood and injuries help depict genre.

Baseball bat – links to life of a teenager.

Not many props unlike many films - shows lack of belongings in circumstances.

Genre

Use of blood, dark colours and unnatural make up.

Solidifies the violent and unnatural themes.

The font and depicted devastation clarifies the genre to include violence, sci-fi themes and horror.

Unlike horror because it is focusing on the plot and the cure and disease more than scaring people which makes it more sci-fi.

How characters are introduced

Straight into middle of the plot

Uncertain position to be clarified later on

Tense and hectic atmosphere, hard to make a judgement, especially since the opening lacks speech – the relationship with the character comes later on

Camerawork and Editing

Use of quick cuts

White Noise to add suspense and tension

Failure of civilization
