(close up POV shot from Ernie  looking at a game pad)

Bert: that was so big it hurt, I couldn’t handle it

Ernie: You sicken me

Bert: Say it (pokes Ernie and gets louder) say it

Ernie: (sighs) that’s what she said

Bert: (laughs loudly) oh Ernie you so funny

Ernie: (mumbles) yeah, you so stupid.

Focus Groups.

We had two focus group meetings, we took on board the comments made on the first feedbacks of the introduction of our clip being to long, and lack of variety on shots. Our team looked upon these issues and improved them. the re-draft of our clip made the feedbacks 100% better with more positive comments. The audience was impressed with the added shots. They found it much more humorous and liked the fart sounds which got them hooked. This gratification theory was done successfully and pleased the audience.

Evaluation

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

We broke a convention by having an out of shape, less with less Hollywood facial features, as opposed to a muscular handsome character, this challenges the conventions as people are used to seeing main characters as teen heart throbs, or sexual icons, in contrast to an average everyday man.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media product represents the society of teenagers of today, by showing their speech and mannerisms in how they behave, by themselves and towards one and other, this reflects on the youth culture of today.

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I think the media intuition that would distribute my media product because the characters in my product are part of the British youth, which many programs the BBC broadcasts are based around.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

As I did my research on audience, it was apparent that the best audience I could choose was a mixed gender audience, as to keep my viewer base high and easily relatable. Also I choose to have my audience be of the youth generation, from around the ages of 16-25, once again this is an easily targetable audience, finally I decided to have the class my piece is aimed at be the working class as it is an easily represent able class, as it is as simple as keeping the characters and themes ‘normal. 

How did you attract/address your audience?

I attracted my audience by keeping the piece very relatable to just about anybody in my target audience, by having the actors play, relaxed fairly average roles, in which people will be able to relate to.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I learnt the ins and outs of how to work a video camera, as in the ins and outs of teh technological side of it, we toyed with some effects, how to record with specialist sound equipment and being able to provide narration and voice over’s to a piece of film and I learnt how to edit and splice video clips together.

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

 I learnt about how different camera angles can affect a scene, how a script and stage directions influence how a scene can play out towards an audience, whether it be make them laugh, cry or feel anger.

Our video.

Below is our task in it's final complete form, overall we believed it came out well, some transations aren't as smooth as we had hoped, but then end result was what we wanted to end up with.

The filming & editing

Today we finished our filming, we used two actors which we hosted auditions for, and chose the perfect two for the roles. Upon filming we had no troubles, the actors were reliable, on time and followed instructions clearly and with no hassle, the whole recording process as a whole suffered no issues at all, everything went as smooth as planned with not interruptions. We also began our editing, adding our company logo, transitions, some animatiion for the intro aswell as some non-diagetic music.

Auditioning

We hosted auditions from twenty people, for the roles of the characters in our piece, interviewing, black and mix raced males as this was the criteria for our characters. The people we auditioned turned out to be all very skilled and useful, in the end we decided to pick the perfect two who fitted the role, and had no troulbes with any of the audtioners

The storyborad for our film intro

Today we created our story board for the intro of the movie we are doing, we have added a full list of , camera angles, movements and speech, this will act as a guideline during the filming and editing of our piece.

Concept

We, Super Dench Productions are going to be creating and shooting a comedy film, we are going to be aiming our film at young adults (16-25), we are going through  extensive research into the location of our film, this also applies for the scene in which we are holding our auditions.

The concept for our piece is about two friends living together, they both have a low IQ and this is told in a narration we will do, and together they act stupidly and get up to many different shenanigans, making fun out of the situations they are in a over-exaggerated form.

Dude where's my car intro

Dude where’s my car: intro

The first 0:17 seconds of the intro consist or the production companies logo, music then begins to play as a it fades to black and says “the following story is based on actual events” in a stereotypical 90’s voice over voice, this could intrigue the audience in wanting to know what these “true” events are,  after that a POV of something, potentially a human is going through space and see people, animals etc, this acts as the opening credits for the film, there is non-diagetic music here, in the form of some funky-pop genre, which could set a tone for a fun-filled bubbly film.

As soon as the credit soon finish’s a fade transition occurs and cuts into a close up of one of the main characters waking up in bed, with scruffy hair and stuff on his face,  this implies that he has had a fun or rough night out,  which could cause curiosity amongst the audience.

The camera then pans around his room and there’s a POV of the cameraman walking out the room, into another room which goes into a close up of a TV with a monkey on it, and then pans to a character doing this same as the monkey on the TV, this could imply the low, uneducated IQ of the character and how he has the same intelligence of a monkey. After 2 minutes the two characters come into the scene together and the dialogue and film start.

Jack and Jill film intro

We did a few film intros and looked over them, we did comedies considering as that is our genre. our first one was jack and jill.

Jack and Jill intro.

After the company and producers intros with the corresponding music, the screen fades out, then fades back in to a mid shot of a pair of female attractive twins breaking the fourth wall and talking directly into the camera as if they’re being interviewed and asked questions, after some bickering, the screen transitions into a pair of your average Hollywood style looking twins, then a pair of overweight, this all shows the audience a diversity in twins, after a few more twins are interviewed  there’s an “old video” grainy effect, of two children who are twins, this implies to the audience that the footage of the children is rather old, throughout this scene some non-diagetic music plays.

The footage continues in this “old” grainy effect, showing the children growing up, this shows the audience that the children have aged and are now adults, finally it fades to black and the movie begins. 

Feedback

We handed out feedback forms to the viewers of our preliminary task, and received a mixed feedback, mostly good.

Preliminary task

 this is our preliminary task, we had completed all of the tasks that were at hand, and also edited the video efficiently, we had a few problems in editing, but we managed to cut and snip at teh clip creating a good piece overall.

our video's audience

We viewed the task at hand, and from that decided to do some research on our target audience, we did class, age and gender research for our audience.

The outcome was that we was to have a mixed-gender of audience, as to keep it universal and entertaining for both genders, for age,we decided to have a fairly young audience around 16-20, to aim it at today's youth, finally we did some class research, finding out that our best class is to aim our piece at a working class, as it is a popular class of today, and easy to aim at.

presenting our preliminary task

after showing out preliminary, we received mixed feed back, mainly good, commenting on things such as editing, sound and camera angles.

The preliminary

Our company "super dench productions" has finally finished our editing on the preliminary task, including our logo and sounds, we stuck to our original plan, and kept the same transitions, music and camera shots in the final preliminary, overall we believe what we prodcued has been quite a success, we will soon present to the class and recieve some feedback on our piece.
