Sounds and Mabinas walking shots

We have successfully filmed the scene of Mabina walking towards the common room. We have included a range of shots to portray our  maximum filming ability. We are going to film each shot of Mabina walking individually i n different settings, then cut the shots so they are all connected to each-other.  However, we have not fully decided on all of the shots, therefore, we may subtract or include another another shot that will benefit our filming and make the narrative easy to follow
Our shots include:
  • low angle, rotate shot of mabina walking up the stairs
  • a POV shot of Mabina walking around the corner looking at her feet
  • a low angle tracking shot of the front of Mabina walking towards the door
  • a medium tracking shot of the back of mabina walking towards the door
  • Three of the same tracking shots of mabinas' feet - close up, medium shot, long shot.         (these will all be cut- allowing the shots to jump off each other
We have also decided on the sounds. The main sound will be a voice over of mabina talking. This will help the audience to understand the narrative. In addition, we will be playing he sound of a heart beat signifying Mabinas anticipation - the audience will build tension. Towards the end of the opening scene the volume of the heartbeat will increases maximizing tension - this will increase when the voice over stops.

Questionnaire




Questionnaire




We created a questionnaire which was designed to help us find out what would interest our viewers. The questions were relevant to how, why and what is your favourite kind of film. We asked 7 boys and 4 girls, in year 12 and 13. The results followed that teenage comedy's were the most popular. The least popular were sci-fi. Th most popular location to film was in college, as students claimed that they could associate more with the setting. Most people also included that they would prefer a female lead, as their are usually more interesting narratives around girls than boys.
So we are now certain that our narrative/story line will appeal to our target audience, which is teenagers aged any age from 12- 26 and possibly to even broader measures.
