Q5. How did you attract/address your audience?
We think that the aspects of our film do appeal to the target audience because we focus on someone the conventional. In the vlog part of the movie we wanted to make sure that the bedroom looked like a teenagers bedroom. We had books in the shelf to show that she was still in school and that she is young. We also had photos in the background to show that she has a family that she cares about and whom she loves.
We had 3 actors; Ana who was the girlfriend of the other actor which was the boyfriend played by Corey Mylchreest who was around Ana's age. Then we had the Driver who was played by Nathaly Martinez and we wanted to portray her as a young adult so we had her wear a blazer and in dark clothing and driving. The story line is very intriguing for our audience. The genre again is interesting for our audience because it isn't a very funny movie but more thoughtful and intense than most teen films.The location was chosen because it was the only location where we would be able to use a car so it was easier to do it there than anywhere else. This would appeal to our target audience because a lot of the teens watching the movie would relate to the idea of driving a car but being scared that they might run over someone.
The rough cut feedback did give us a lot of criticism but we took that criticism and made our movie much better because of it. There was only one scene that we couldn't recreate because of the car not being available nor the actors so we had to work with what we had. It definitely help and it opened our eyes to the little details that can make parts of the opening much better such as lighting and camerawork.
As you can see we have have reached our audience by different forms of media such as; Facebook events, tabloid article, YouTube etc. These are just a few of the media ways that we could reach our audience by thinking what they do most such as going on YouTube, watching TV or just roaming the internet.

VIP PASS
Creation of own VIP pass for 'Anchored' premier
On the Facebook page I had shared this event and wrote the first five people who arrive to our premier will receive this 'lucky' VIP Pass.
To create this pass I have used photo editing programmes such as Paint and Windows live Photo Gallery. In the center of the VIP pass I have put a photograph of myself in a long , elegant grey dress with diamonds I bought . To show fame ,wealth and glamour as Actors and celebrities wear million dollar dresses on the red carpet to impress and stand out from others .I have used Paint and selected free form selection to crop the original photograph I had taken of myself in the dress and began to crop around the outline of my body , so that it could fit well into the pass. Although it was a bit challenging to cut around the edges of the photograph as there's a lot of small detail.
I have also used cross media convergence and social media marketing as ' Anchored' Facebook page and poster I created has come together with this VIP pass to release media content for the film.

Production Company
17 th Productions
This picture was taken on my phone ( Ana's phone) to show evidence of our production company "17 th Production". As a group we wanted to be more creative and imaginative so we created our own production company by drawing on a plain A4 paper.
Iolo and Ana scribbled on the piece of paper using a colours such as blue and orange felt tip pens as they stand out ,whilst Nathaly took several pictures on Iolo's camera , from the start to the end off our drawing.We then uploaded all the picture taken on the camera to the desktop and edited them all together to created a sequence on Final Cut Pro. The production company helps create the film -we used this at the start of our movie 'Anchored' to show it's importance and so the audience become familiar with this new production company we created.
We have named it "17 th Productions" to represent the media group we are all in .

Ident stopmotion
We decided to use paperclips as our ident as we wanted to be more creative rather than use something that already exists on the web. We used paperclips because it is something someone wouldn't easily come up with and do, makes it seem very unique. Of course we had to consider the background and at first we tried to get a neutral plain white background but it didn't work and then decided we wanted a more synthetic background, therefore got a wooden one. It blends in with the colours of the paperclips we've been using. Iolo got his camera and took shots with the blue paperclip changing in each shot going around in a circular path to show the changes happening. One way we could of been improving was to get a every shot to be still, but it was very difficult as we had to check if all pictures came out right before continuation.

Anchored - Rough Cut
This is a Rough Cut of the movie we have produced 'Anchored'.We have made several changes to this rough cut as well as kept thing which we thought were successful.
We are still in the working progress of editing our Final version of our movie.We will be changing the opening titles to a theme which is more suited for the genre of our teen movie which is drama / psychological thriller, therefore we will use formal italics and colours to make our presentation more professional. We have also made changes in the intro were Ana logs into Facebook ,we have sped this up to make it seem more realistic and so that the opening isn't too long.We have also received feedback from our Media teacher on lighting in the first scene (bedroom scene). We were told the lighting in this Rough Cut in the opening scene was quite dull and grey colour. First.First time filming this we used natural lighting from windows and no lights , however we took our teachers comment on board so went to Brixton to film the same scene in Nathaly Bedroom with room lights above Ana's head and used lamp.This is not shown in this rough cut as we are still working and editing the scenes together , however it gave a more homely , brightening and warm atmosphere than the first time we recorded. We were also told that the editing in the rough cut above in the Bedroom Scene was quite boring , so as a group we went to film this scene again using close up shots of Ana's eyes ,lip's and medium shots of the side of her face to make visually interesting for the audience.We have also used smooth scale to focus some shots and used slow motion effects towards the end of the movie , to emphasize the importance of the situation and to have dramatic impact towards the audience .
We are all currently working really hard , editing the best way we possible can and coming up with ideas so that our Final copy of our movie 'Anchored' is a success.
