Initial story board





This was our initial storyboard until it came closer to the time of filming we improvised. We Re-Wrote our script, not entirely but some bits. We also have our initial scripting underneath however we improvised over that as well and decided to introduce more sentences and movements. We thought the things we added would help our main task to be a bit better than our original previous ideas.

Reference

I think it is safe to say that we recognise our main task as being similar to fast and furious

Main task - Day 1 shooting/problems

Our group went to tesco about 15 minutes drive away from school.
We started shooting our main task outside tesco, the first 5 minutes were good but then we ran into a few problems.

Our problems:

It was very cold to stand outside shooting

It was very windy so that might have reduced the quality of the clip

we used two school film cameras and amy's camera, amy's camera was very high quality, however the school cameras were very poor. This would effect our editing and could be quite noticable.

Cars were moving in and out from tesco so everytime we shot a clip there could be different cars in the outside frame.

when we shot from inside the car we had to be careful that the camera women 'amy' wasnt in the middle windscreen mirror whilst holding the camera from behind.

Understanding

From our continuity excersise we learnt that setting up cameras was longer than we thought it would be so in order to avoid this, we made sure the cameras were charged before we went out to our locations to film.

Audience

Age - Our group discussed what we should rate our main task. We had to choose this wisely as the main taks could include some explicit language so we had to identify the correct target audience for our intentions. We choose to rate our movie a 15 as it has a little bit of bad language in parts and being that it is a car kind of racing movie we figured thaat over 15s know more specific things about cars rather than younger kids who just think cars are cars and races are races. We know that lots of teens get their first car from around 17-21 so we figured they would be into car action movies.

Gender - I think the majority of male sex's will watch this movie, that is my prediction.This is because sterotypically men are into cars more than women are, therefore men would be more into it.

Social group - A group that have knowledge and understanding within the car industry, also into car racing and quite dramitical thriller scenes from racing custommised and modified cars.

Name for our main task

Our group sat down to have a discussion of what our main task should be called, we came up with this name; c,b,a it stands for clutch, brake, accelerate. We felt this name would compliment our main task and have a correlation towards it.

Questionnaire review & Feedback


With our interview questionnaire we recognised that horror and action were the most popular within our interview. Fiction based films had the majority of votes. A lot of people preferred the main characters to be mixed. The background of a film that the people most liked was 'urban'. The majority of people said yes to watching a car film even if they are not really into racing car films.They also preferred music to be played in the background in a film. A lot of people said that the status of the film would not effect the quality. We asked a question about what were peoples favourite films and luckily we had one person who said fast and furious 2 which relates to our main task. Favourite actors that were chosen were; De caprio ll, scarlet johnson, paul walker and vin diesal.

In our decision making process in relation to an answer in the questionnaires one of the answers were that action films were recognised to be quite popular.

This related to our film because our film is a thriller/action/crime.

Here is a bar graph and pie chart to represent our result findings.
