Aura Audience Feedback

We decided the best and quickest way to get feedback for our film was to hold a cinema session with the year 11 year group at our school. This was very good as we got to ask our own questions about our film to our audience and we could match this to our given criteria to see if we fulfilled it. It was also good as it enabled up to get our film out to some of our target audience (16 year old boys) in year 11 and see what they thought of it.

Evaluation Question 6 (Part 2)

I have had to have two separate videos for question six as my software would not let me place the pictures of the top of my video recording so i have placed all of the pictures in a separate video.
These are the logos of many technologies i have used and also pictures taken during the process of editing.

The Nursery Rhyme

We have decided that in our opening dream sequence we want to have a nursery rhyme being sung in the background but with our own horror twist on it. We looked at various nursery rhymes and tried to see which one fit the most and the rhyme 'Row Your Boat' seemed to fit the most with the scenes and the storyline as its implied through the opening that he has drowned. To add our 'horror twist' to it we decided to change the lyrics from the original and also we slowed it down to give it creepy effect.
We used original sound as we record group member Emma to sing it.
The lyrics have been changed to link to death to give it the horror aspect.
We chose to use a nursery rhyme also as its symbolic for innocence which in the end we find out the boy is and also reflects youth and an audience can relate to it easily as millions of kids have heard of the classic rhyme.

Original lyrics:

Row row row your boat, gently down the stream,

Merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.

Row row row your boat

If you see a crocodile, don't forget to scream

OUR LYRICS

Row row row your boat, gently down the stream,
Merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.
Row row row your boat, gently down the stream,
Don't forget to watch your back, no one will hear you scream.

Behind The Scenes

Shooting Schedule

Here is our shooting schedule created by our group member Kelsey Duffy. The schedule is divided up into 3 different days of shooting this is because we wanted to make sure that we checked through our clips and take the time so that we were happy with the shots. We also separated the shooting into four different blocks to ensure that all filming went as quickly as possible and also as smoothly to give us the time to edit our clip. The shooting schedule blocks gave us a target and a deadline to meet so we could stay as focused as possible.

Final Locations

Here are some pictures with annotations of our final location where we chose to film Aura.
The final location was in the village of Langford, Bedforshire.
As the members of my group all lived in different places this enabled us to come togeter with different ideas on where to film and after much research we found these locations (See locations video)

Aura - Target Audience

Target Audience 

 

We have decided as a group that we are going to keep our same target audience that we had for our preliminary task.

This is because the audience research carried out was accurate and correct and also very time consuming.

As we based our preliminary task on our audience research and created a  clip form a horror movie as the task it was appropriate to keep the same audience research for our main as this would still be relevant for our main task. See previous post for all about Target audiences.

As a recap;

Target Gender; Male
Target Age; 16-22
