Audience Feedback Session

These are only a couple of examples of the questionnaire that we got our target audience to fill out.

Overall the session was really helpful, as we got to know from our target audience if our film opening was easy to understand, because if it wasn't we would be able to find out ways in which we could improve our sequence to make it easier to understand. Our average score for understanding was 7, which meant that they could mostly understand what was going on. We knew that we were not going to get 10 out of 10 as we did not want the audience to completely understand what was going on, because from them not understanding what was going on it would intrigue them to watch the rest of the film. We also asked them if they would see it in the cinema, this was an important question because our film was going to be in big mainstream cinemas like Cinema world. From this we could find out if our target audience would actually come to see our film, and as a result we now know that we should go for big cinemas instead of independent cinemas because our audience will want to go watch it.

Actors

Actress 1: Megan

This is our main character Megan, she has left MI6 to have a family and settle down. During the rest of the movie her past will soon catch up with her, which means that she will have to go back to her agent days.  In the opening we want to keep her as simple and normal as possible. However we want to leave subtle hints to the audience. For example she goes out for a run showing that she keeps fit and active so she is still able to do the things that she could do when she was an agent. Also when she gets a text message from her husband saying that he has taken their child to school showing that she has settled down and now has something that she wants to protect.

 We have chosen this for her costume because it is very casual and shows the audience that this is a normal day.

 We wanted the actress to be younger so she would attract the younger audience. 

Actor 2:

This character appears in the opening sequence to create enigma. This man will appear again later in the film to make things clear to the audience. We wanted him to appear that he is following her because as a result it will make the audience feel disorientated.

We chose this to be his costume because it makes him look like he looks like he works in London and this is a typical outfit for an operative to have.

We wanted him to be older because from studying spy films the head is always a lot older that the actual spy because they would have been in this business for years. For example James Bond.

Good shots

 

These were good shots because the shot from the outside looking in was just right because outside it was dark so you could look in perfectly with not much glare on the window from the lights outside, because if you compare that shot to the one that we did in the day it looks better because it is clearer and the audience would be able to understand what was going on better, however we could not use this shot because it was shot in the night time when this scene was meant to be taken in the morning when it is bright. I liked the shoe shot because the colours look good on the camera and it was at a good angle from which this shot was taken. The shot when she drops her bracelet in the pile of leaves was good because you could actually see that she had dropped something as she ran passed and it was not just something that happened to be there at the time. The shot when the hand picks up the bracelet was good because the light was just right on the leaves to make it look quite dark yet you could see what was happening perfectly. My favourite shot is when the actress turns round because the light is perfect on her face and the expression on her face was perfect for that shot.   

Bad shots

 

These are bad shot because some of them something went wrong when filming, for example on the phone shot the phone was locked and we forgot to take the pass code off so it could flow into the message that was sent to her. Also the shot when the actress pulls out the draw and when she grabs the jumper that she wanted the camera feel down which ruined the shot. The shot when she was getting out of bed was ruined because you could see another person filming her from another angle. The shot when she was coming out of her room and down the stairs was a bad shot because I think that it does not get a very good view of all the pictures hanging on the wall because they were the main focus of that shot. The shot when she was running outside was not very good because as the stress ran passed the camera the camera lost focused and blurred her face. The next shot with the new actress was a bad shot because we did not get the whole of her head looking around the room and also it was not very clear. The shot after that was not very good because it was taken from behind to get as many angles as we could but it did not turn out well because the lighting was not as good. The shot when she laughs was bad because the light was too much on her face so it glared on her face. The last shot was not very good because again the light was not very good which meant that we could not see the actor very well, also when he got off the camera was not at the right angle to get the whole of his body in and as a result cut off his head.

Risk assessment

Activity assessed: As media task filming	Assessment date: 15/12/13	Assessed by: Kayleigh Umfreville
Activity location: house	Who is at risk: actors and camera woman	Next assessed by:	Approved by:
Activity location: The street	Who is at risk: actors and camera woman	Next assessed by:	Approved by:
HAZARD:	Risk level Before High, mediocre  or low	Risk level After High or low	Control measures Reducing the risk to a minimal risk
Failing down the stairs	Mediocre because there will be nothing on the stairs that the actor can fall down, however, she could still trip over her feet, so there is still a chance that she could hurt herself.	Still mediocre because there is nothing that I can do to make her not fall over her feet apart from warning her before she goes down the stairs, but there is still a chance that she could fall over.	Make sure appropriate foot wear is worn so that there is a reduced risk of slipping and falling. Also she could look down as she goes down so she can see what she is doing and as a result reducing the chance of her falling over.
Tripping when running	High: because there could be certain cracks in the pavement where she could fall over them or there could be stones that could make her unbalanced.	Mediocre because there will always be a chance of the actor falling over but I will point out all the places that she needs to be careful of so when she gets to that part she can easily go over it avoiding her falling over.	Make sure appropriate foot wear is worn so that there is a reduced risk of slipping and falling.
Camera woman falling over and crack equipment	High: because when doing a tracking shot the camera woman could drop the equipment and the camera may crack.	Low because with all potential trip hazards removed and things that could injury someone if they fall are removed.	Make sure appropriate foot wear is worn so that there is a reduced risk of slipping and falling.
Family members getting in the way	High: Could get in the way of shots which will make the shot lose the effect on the audience because they will now be detached at what it going and will watch the people that are accidently getting in the shot	Siblings and parents are kept away from shooting areas so they can not intervene.
Hit by a car when crossing the road	High: because when crossing the road a car may come out and hit us.	Low risk because camera woman will keep the equipment away from the roads so they cannot get hit. However for the actor when she crosses the road I too have to look out for her when crossing so we avoid getting hit by a car.	Making sure that we look both ways when we cross.
