I have had lots of fun doing the media work that was set. Although I didnt do the work to my max ability because I had 8 weeks of school due to me braking my knee. This meant I couldnt do any work at home as i couldnt get up to sit by the computer to get on with work. However overall I have really enjoyed media.
I dont beleive my Blog is really up to date but I have tried my absolout hardest to do the best I possibly can with in the time I had left .

Evaluation Question 7
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
The preliminary was edited on my iPad by cute cut however the final piece is edited on Adobe Premier. Cute cut is easy to use as you only have to add videos and crop videos however on Adobe Premier it is harder to edit as you have to make everything run smoothly.
The over the shoulder take for the main task is better then the preliminary task as you can see we have improved on our cinematography.
The camera focus is better in the main task then the preliminary as we have learnt how to focus cameras and have better shots.

Evaluation Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I edited on Adobe Premiere Pro because I thought it would be easier to edit on adobe. Also another reason why it was way more easier then Final Cut Pro because there was a lot of tutorials on YouTube. 
When researching and planning about my 2 minute opening scene I learnt how to use blogger and I blogged everything that I have researched. I typed up most of my coursework on blogger.
I used YouTube to upload a couple of videos for example my main task which was the opening scene. A draft opening scene and interviews. I have never uploaded on YouTube before doing media. Media taught many stuff also it taught me to use YouTube.
Evaluation Question 5
How did you attract/adress your audience?
The research I done to find our target audience I wanted was by doing a questionnaire asking for there age group, gender, and their favorite action crime films from a selection. We watched other action crimes including Sin City and Fast and Furious. They use a lot of tension scenes so we added music which we thought sets the tone and builds tension well. Our questionnaire allowed us to know what action crimes our target audience most enjoyed and based our opening scene due to the feedback we received.

Furthermore I have broadcasted my opening scene on my social website accounts for example, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Also I have hash-tagged Media and opening scene so people that hash-tag on YouTube they can find our video to. Also I sent an email around of the link of the opening scene so everyone can access it and watch it through YouTube.
Evaluation Question 4
Who would be the audience for your media product?
My target audience:
My target audience:
Me and my media partner has decided to aim our target audience for a mixed gender aged between 15-30 for people who enjoy action crime.
Our target genre is action crime. We have watched and researched action crime films and we were able to use similar techniques like establishing shots, Point of View, close ups. We have used this techniques to create a more successful action crime opening scene. We carried out a questionnaire to find out specifically what our target audience wanted. We also showed a few people a selection of action crime films and asked them what there favorite was and what made it there favorite. Also we researched other famous action crime directors and producers and aimed to use similar techniques that they used to make the a successful opening scene.
The age rating for the film is 15 and the reason for this is because a 15 year olds are allowed to hear frequent strong language, and strong violence. In our opening scene there is strong violence and strong language.
To find my target audience I did research for who mostly watch's action crime and I came out with a result of 3 out of 4 that watch action crime are from 15-30.

Costume for The Payback
The Payback is a action film with young actors. The film is targeted for 15-30 ages. The costume that is worn is what classic young adults wear. The film genre is action by two gangsters so the audience dont expect the actors to turn up in suits. However the actor that gets kidnapped by the gangsters dosent wear anything similar to the gangsters. The victim looks better then the gangsters in his dressing code.

Location Scouting
Before we filmed we done some location scouting with my media partner to choose the best location and we have found to locations around De Beauvoir. The reason why we thought this location was the best is because there was a lot of places with in the location to do great shots. In our draft opening scene the location was bad because of the lighting and because it was off a high road there was a lot of noise it was hard to hear the dialogue among the actors. Here are the pictures of our location.
Editing
I have used Adobe Pro to edit my opening scene. Adobe pro is a very simple program to use to edit. If you have any difficulties you could use youtube videos to guide and help from video tutorials.
Adding rough videos to the sequence to edit and cut parts.
This is before the color effect o the opening scene.
This is after the color affect is added as you can see after the color affect is added the video looks more blue.
Editing the video transition to a professional extent.
Video extracting as AVI format, matching sequence setting to prevent black edges in the video.

Movie Poster
I have created a movie poster on easymovieposter.com for my opening scene. The movie poster was really easy to make however I could have had a better picture to use for the poster. The picture is not that bad but it could be better for a action film because in all action movies there is a mid shot showing some action but in this picture there is no action.
Next time I have movie poster for a action film i will include some action in the picture as it will look more like a action movie poster.
Music
I have emailed the manager of French Montana as I will be using one of French Montana's track in my opening scene. The reason why I have emailed his manager and not him is because I could not find his email. Also it is better to email the manager as they may reply more quick also as I am using his music it will be plagiarism if i don't notify the owner.

Analysis of Action crime
Ill Manors
A joint and lighter seen first, instantly giving a impression that there would be a association of a negative background. A close up on the drugs instantly makes us think about what type of film its going to be.
The small room suggests poverty and the man is a working class man. The fact that the man is smoking drugs wearing tracksuits conforms to stereotypes like working class youth in social housing.
This actor has flashing jewellery which suggests wealth which conforms to some stereotypes like if someone in social housing has jewellery they are probably drug dealers.
There are several shots of the settings, showing scruffy and unpleasent estates reinforcing the idea that there is a negative upbringing. Showing a neighboorhood of houses emphasises the film is revolved around a working class area. Again this might link to a negative background.
Drugs are shown repetitively through out the opening scene emphasising that there is a great importance of drugs through the film.
A mixture of ethnicities are shown therefore there is no target on representing a target of a specific ethnic background.
