Question1:

Question2:

Geeky character wore glasses and a shirt where as the popular girl wore make-up and was always on her phone. We exaggerated the fact she was always on her phone, its the reason she bumped into the geeky boy. 

We tried to emerge the two different worlds this made us go away from the stereotype as the popular was meant to go out with the popular boy and the geeky boy doesn't have a girlfriend. Therefor we changed it by making them fall in love with each other.

Question4:

This a Facebook profile of someone who i feel would watch strange connection.It shows movies which she watches and likes

Question5:

This a video of a member of my target audience.

What i think appeals to my target audience is the style and look of my title sequence as it has this elegant but fun a simple look to it which mid-late teens enjoy. Also the fact that its set in a school environment so they can relate. The actors don't look to glammed up however they do match there role perfectly. Teens love to believe they can be movie stars so making the actors look like normal people the audience feel at one with the actors. Also the actors were not experienced so the film could get a real kind of feel. The story line allows the teens to understand that its kay to like someone thats is outside your social group or comfort zone. The film name was short and catchy (STRANGE CONNECT) its quite secretive and doesn't give anything away which is a good contrast considering we had a narrative type of title sequence. Disney always distributes movies like this so it was only right we used the company for distribution and production.

The rough cut was extremely useful in terms of getting feedback it allowed us to change the music up a little because people said it was to repetitive which made the film sequence seem long and boring. so we changed it to keep our audiences attention.

There was a cinema preview aimed at students we used youtube, Vimeo and DVD in terms of where it was distributed.

We definitely aimed our movie at a wider audience such as 18 plus. These were for the people who are still into these movie or want to bring back childhood memories of movies in there day also mothers who bring their children to watch but also enjoy the movie too.

One we used was disney channel as this is a channel for teens and young children and that is what "STRANGE CONNECTION" is aimed at.

Disney channel is a big major company 

Disney Media Distribution (DMD) is responsible for The Walt Disney Company's branded and non-branded filmed entertainment distribution, now distributing more than 30,000 hours of content to over 1300 broadcasters across 240 territories worldwide.

EVALUATION QUESTION 2

From this i can conclude that the characters we made have stereotypical attributes worked and was successful as it is clearly portrayed in the film. By using mise en scene especially as well as sound effects 'clicking of text' we showed the two types of characters clearly enough for the audience to distinguish who is 'a geek' or 'popular'

EVALUATION QUESTION 5

Overall our film attracted the correct target audience as Abdul says he expects it to appeal to young teenagers, our target audience was young teenagers, on that point our film was successful.

The rough cut feedback certainly helped us as a group make major changes, without it we would have broken the 180 degree rule and we were constantly changing scenes and moving things around.
Also the rough cut let us work from a basic frame of the film and know whats going on at all times.

So far we have reached our audience on only a couple of platforms : Vimeo, and a cinema screening.
We hope our film attracts to a wider audience as well as young teenagers, to find out if it will i will ask the older people who watched it and see what they thought.

Coursework Evaluation Q5

I decided to get some feedback on what went well with our Rough Cut and what could be improved. This feedback is mainly from people from our core target audience (15-17) though does encompass views of a wider target audience (18+).

What Went Well: 

• The camera shots used worked well. 
• The idea for the film is good and fits in with other Disney Films.
• Interweaving the shots of the two characters works well (cross cuts).

Even Better If:

•  The beginning, before the characters enter could be slightly shorter.
• There should be more of an introduction of the characters rather than just having them walking up and down stairs.
• The music is too repetitive and needs to feel more like a Disney film, try some other ideas for sound?
• It feels like, for an opening, it's too elongated and doesn't necessarily capture the audience's attention the way it should. This could be as a result of the repetitive music or maybe even the walking scenes lasting too long.
