Research and Plannng

Planning of Magazine cover




Above are the photos that were taken during in our photoshoot for our magazine cover. We tried to take them on a plain background to ensure they look more professional. We stood in different angles and ways to ensure that we got the best end photo for our magazine cover.

This is the magazine cover used to promote our film. It is the cover of a very popular magazine cover 'Total Film'. This will create a lot of publicity for our film as this is a popular and respected film magazine cover. If our film is an item on the front page of this magazine this means that the magazine think this film is good as they would not want to promote a bad film as that might put their publicity at risk. The photo that will be used is two of the main characters. These will be dressed up like models so they just look like the actresses this is because these two actresses are the faces of the film so they will be associated with our film. On the right hand side we are told things that are in the magazine such as the part where our film is featured. It says EXCLUSIVE in bold writing to catch the readers attention, then we are told what will be included. On the left hand side the reader is told about other interesting items featured in the magazine. These are used so the reader is attracted to read on.

Planning of film poster

These photos above were taken for our film poster. We took them in the setting, by a graffti wall this to show the surroundings that the characters live in. The characters are shown against the wall. We made the characters sit naturual to ensure that did not look like they were posing for a photo but it looked like they were just hanging around in their local area. We took lots of different photos to ensure we got the best final photo for our film poster.

This is a sketch of the film poster used for the promotion of our film. We have used a quote from a film magazine at the top this is to attract a wider audience as we want the audience to be reasurred that this film is a good film. We have also give the rating that the film magazine gave. For our film empire gave it five stars. The background of the poster will be the image of the the main characters. This is a indication of what the film is about and helps the audience to identify each character as they are the faces of this film. Also within the image is the title of the film which is B36. This is written in graffti on the wall this is so it stands out and also is a indication of what the film is about ( a high crime area.) This will be written in red to stand out. Underneath each character is the actors name this is to make sure the audience know who is starring in the film and also can make the film more popular as popular stars will bring a wider audience. This will also be written in bold letters as it needs to stand out so viewer can see it clearer. We will include the date of release as this gives the audience a date for when they can go and watch it. This will also stand out very clearly as its a very important information about the film.

Storyboard

This is the storyboard that has been used for my film trailer. I have included still images from the filming to show each shot. It also says how long each shot is for and what non digetic and digetic sound is heard alongside the shot. It also tells us what is seen within the shot such as the mise en scene. It is also tells us the camera angles, movements that are used within that scene.

target audience

The target audience for social realism films can be anyone as it depends on the situation the characters are in in the film as the audience are able to relate to the characters if they are in the same situation. Often based on class the target audience would usually be a working class one as they are able to relate to the characters in the film and have experienced their struggles at first hand. However having said this a middle class audience might enjoy this to as they may have been through some struggle or they may just find it fascinating on how working class people live.
My production B36 is set on a council estate and is about four teenage girls trying to e enjoy life and being frustrated by the situation that they are in. I feel that the target audience for my production would have to be a young audience say teenagers to early twenties as they may have experienced this kind of situation and are able to relate. However the target audience cant be too young as there is use of drugs, swearing and some sexual scenes. Therefore it will be certificated 15 to ensure that the content of our film doesn't upset or effect anyone of a younger age. My film may also appeal to girls as they are able to relate to the characters as they are girls. People from a council estate may also be appealed to the film as they can relate more to.

job roles

Sheryl Richards played one of the characters within our trailer. She had to show an abusive character, but also a worried character as she played a girl who was pregnant and was worried what to do. Sheryls character was someone that put on a front in her friends presence but when we saw her on her own she was actually very vunerable and scared about her situation. Sheryl played her role effectively and was also a big help to our production.









Bobbi Doyle played a big part within our trailer. She performed well as she had the biggest acting part. Bobbi had to act as the gang leader, who threw abuse at the neighbourhood and pushed drugs on to other characters. She did a good job of acting confident and loud as a gang leader would. Bobbi was very confident herself and portrayed a character that was very important in our trailer. She was a great use to our production.












Sarah is my group partner. Her job roles consisted of planning and researching to make sure our trailer, magazine cover and film poster were effective in their job. Sarah is also very artistic, so her role was to produce the film poster and magazine cover as she was able to see the most effective way of attracting an audience. She did a really good job and presented the magazine cover and poster in which made them appealing and made them look realistic and persuasive. She used effective font and colours. Another job that Sarah had was a actor as she played a main character, who was going through alot of peer pressure and was self harming. She played this part really well and portrayed the characters emotions effectively.








Me, Melissa Doyle My main job when producing this film trailer, magzine cover and poster was to plan and research the things in which will be included and how as we as a group were going create a social realism film trailer, and create alongside a film poster and film magazine cover. I feel I did this sufficently and everything went well and to plan. Another job role I had was to be camera operator, I feel that I did the best I could and tried to use my knowledge about the meaning of certain camera angles, movement and shots to portray the meaning of the trailer. However I feel I could have imporved this as some of the work was shakey and my camera shots could have been more effective. I also edited the trailer and tried to include the best bits of our fotage and create excitement and creativity, to appeal to the audience. I also starred as one of the characters, I was one of the troubled teens who has got involved in knife crime and in the clip you see my character taking a knife from the kitchen.

shots list

The shots list shows all the different camera shots, angles and movements that will be shown within our trailer. This again gives guidence to the camera operator. Camera shots, angles and movements are very important when filming as they them self can portray meanings for the audience. Even if the creators of the film did not mean to give a certain portrayal to the audience this may still happen as the audience may still make their own personal meaning of a certain camera movement. This is why the camera operator needs be careful and precise in their work as they may give the wrong meaning to the audience or may not portray a meaning as effectively as they aimed to.

Shooting scripts

These are the shooting scripts for each day that we filmed. This shows the locations we used in day 1 of filming the dialogue that was used, and camera directions. This is so the director and the camera operator are able to stick to the ways in which the scenes should look. These are ways of keeping the filming more organised and giving the crew guidance.
