CONSTRUCTION: EDITING PROCESS

We started the editing process using the software Final Cut Pro X. We used some of the early scenes that we shot in the changing room, using an extreme close up of Xander tying his laces. We merged this in with the tracking shot of the changing rooms, using various free plugins from the internet to make our title. We also tied the shots in with the audio that Xander recorded using Sibelius.

RESEARCH: PREZI ON DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES

HERE YOU CAN SEE MY PREZI.

VIEWER PROFILE

Today I started making outline notes about what my target audience for '9' was like
Age: 12-65
Gender: Men and Women
Viewers are likely to watch sport, especially sport dramas such as 'Number 10', 'Invictus', and 'Forever Strong'.
At the cinema, they are likely to see dramas such as 'Forest Gump', 'Schindler's list', 'The Godfather', 'Fight Club', 'Gran Torino', 'Shawshank Redemption', 'The Wrestler', and 'Titanic'. They would watch some of these films on Netflix.
In their leisure time, they will look on Youtube for viral and entertaining videos, play games on their phone and laptop, listen to music, watch sport on TV, drink Starbucks, eat at Pizza Express and McDonalds.
Clothing: Next, River Island, North Face, Palace
Media: iPhones and Android, using internet to connect to friends. Possibly Skype.
I have used the NME example to base my photo collage on. This was helpful as it gave a really clear example and allowed me to create this satisfying collage.

RESEARCH: EXIT POLLS

Exit Polls

Over half term, I looked at various different exit poll for movies that had been surveyed. I looked specifically at the gender, and the age of people who had watched the film. I looked at 3 different films that were made in 2014, called 'Frank', 'The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and  disappeared' and 'We are the best'. By looking at these statistics, it gives film-makers ideas and help as to what they can do to make a wanted film.
