Location reece new*

We had alot of trouble organising the location reece so therefore we made a final decsision of using studio and turning it into a bedroom which we plan to stick with the old opening sequence.Overall this took alot of time consuming of trying to get the props and all the equipment we needed to make it look like a girls bedroom here is several images of the studio we manage to organise.

My film movie poster

Based on our research and development me and my gorup decided our target audience that our film will hav the encouragment to.We had to organise and know the terminology of our attraction that we trying to give to our audience in order to make our film very sucessful and interesting to watch.

As i gathered all the information about our target audience and what interest they will require i have produced my own individual film poster and me and my group had decided to call our film 'Lets dance' underneath is the poster i have produced on Adobe Photoshop CS3.













What are the main colours used in the poster and what do they connote?

The main colours i used for the poster was pink which empathises feminism and also red with the text that will indicate of the most important company or people that subscribed for this film aspects.I used brown or light brown as the background colour which basically suits the atmosphere as though she is performing for a ballet,in my mind the colour brown reminds of ponies or horses which basically many young girls do fascinate into ponies and horses so therefore its a reason why i have chosen brown as a background colour for this poster.

What symbols are used in the poster?

Well the symbols i used was the big C on the top left to show the company that it was produced by because usually most films have a logo of the company that is either sponsered by or porduced in many aspects.I also used the PG sign to indicate what age group this film is based on so therefore as you know the age group isfor this film is for 8 years to 20 years old and to use this image makes it more realistic as most of the film posters uses thses symbols of age group to indicate th age the film is suitable to.

Do you need audience foreknowledge to decode the symbols?What are the main figures/objects/background of the poster?

Well the audience can already identify the purpos of this film and also the main target audience as they can see a young girl and also a PG sign so therefore we know the terms that this film is suitbale for younger children in a certain age.I used the programme photoshop to produce my poster and for the brightness of this poster i used a layer and blured abit more so therefore we can see the gliterish effect of the girl which looks very fascinating.For the background i earased some of the bits which had some hidden text so therefore i got rid of them so we dont see any text that are not involved with the film poster procedures.

Are they represented photographically, graphically, or illustratively? Are the messages in the poster primarily visual, verbal, or both?

They are represnted graphically as i edited the image from google and add the effect to it making it look more gliterish and also add some blur to some of the background the messages that iv included which indicated the speech from avrious people such as the sun we verbally used to bring the idea to the audience to understand how the film is fascinating and just to bring the attention to the audience about the film.

Who do you think is the intended audience for the poster?

the intended audience is where The demographics of the people that a product or service is designed for so in other words i believe this will be effected at the audience who are mostly girls which we see the feminin materials that are used in the poster.

Given that all movie posters have the same purpose - to get audiences to go see a movie - what persuasive techniques are used by the poster?

The persuasive techniques that i susually admire of using text from famous companies that watched the movie so therefore we could see a feedback and see how the movie will gain good reviews so therefore the audience will admire and be more interesting to watch the film themselves.

Which genre conventions are referred to?

This genree is reffered to ballet which will be involved with the obession of the the girl wants to bcome a ballet dancer.

Is a star used as a USP (unique selling point)?

In this aspects of the film a unique selling point will be a great advantage of gaining good reviews and more attraction to the audience so therefore we highly admire of atleast having a movie star that will gain alot of views fromthe audience and will grab interest to their terminology.

Are "expert witnesses" (ie critics) quoted?

As i included quote above that gained review from i included a witness from the US president barak obama which will be a great advantage to show to his citizen of a film of his interest and also people will admire the preseident of what type of interest he does in his spare time.I included the quote 'a must watch film' by barak obama this will mean hat the film is very higly recomended to watch adnd a movie that cannot be misssed.

What pleasures (gratifications) are promised by the poster?

The pleasure of the poster will indicate happiness from a young child so therefore this will be aimed at adults who usually see themself when they used to be a kid and always wanted to become something they always dreamed off but never had the opportunity this will gain alot of pleasure from them as they see a yound child who had the same dreams but actually fufils them.

How is attention gained (humour, shock, surprise)?

The attention gained that i will consider will be shock where i included the slogan above the poster 'where dreams can be fufiled' and also will bring pleasure and a sweet feeling for the little girl on the front cover mostly adults will have the sweet and tender feeling in their heart for the child.

How much does the poster tell you about the institutional context of the movie's production?

the poster explains the main pupose of the film and also shows the nevolvement that will be in the film procedures we could see that the name 'lets dance' already empathises that the main concept of this film will be based on dancing however wee see another concept where it also includes 'Where a dream can be fufiled' we see how this will be involved a big interest of someone who had the dignity to accomplish something they want in life.Overall we see the movies production as we could see the producers and the evidence of feedback which is backed up with the films interest that will admire the target audience.

How important is this information on the poster (think about information hierarchies)?

The informaion of this poster is important because this empathises the main urpose of this film which is about a girl who wants to fiufil her dream and become something she always dreamed off but we can also tell how there will be an outcome as we can tsee the inocent face of the girl which gives us the feeling that she is going to overcome someone who disagrees her dream.

How important a part of the whole marketing campaign is the poster?

The main purpose of marketing is to try and grab or draw a many attention to the audience.A good advertisment will conclude of many people becoming interesting about the film and backing up with feedbacks can show how the flm is fully recomended of watching.

Where is the poster placed?

The poster will be placed in public areas such as schools,college,university mainly an education purpose as the child is in her teeens this will reflect on most girls in a certain age so an advanatge will be to post this in school areas.

How expensive was this poster to produce?

There were no charge of producing this poster as i created it onphotshop,a software made for edtiting processes of multimedia.

Target audience 1:

Gender:Female

Age:8-20

Interest:The terminology of ballet and also for little kids it will interest them of how they dream of becoming a ballet dancer.It also will interest them of the music of ballet which will be opera so for young adults who have intrest in opera will feel the peacful atmosphere of watching this film.
They will also have interest of the clothing the girl wears we see how this film and the poster is very feminine since it includes the brightness and the glitterish polish and most importanlty we see a small girl aged around 11 who is wearing a crown just o show the sweetness and the innocence of how this film will represent without no violence or anything typical such as action film,horror,thriller ect.

Why would these audience will be intereted of watching this film?
The main cause or the concept of why they will feel the need of watching this film will prbably be because it might have a small romanc which may occur and as you know stereotypically that most girls nowdays are very interested inot romance terminology.

Target audience 2

Gender:male

Age8-20

Interest:may be interested in ballet as for some of them for example billy elliot and more famous ballet dancer,Some boys may watch the movie depending on how they like to see someone who fufils their dream.Most importantly their main interest of how the film could refer for most boys of fufilling their own dream not only in ballet but in any type of dance such as street dancing,pop dancing ect.

Why would these audience be interested of watching thi film?

Most boys usually watch these film because of how they see the attraction to girls this terminology mostly happens where boys have the couragment to feel attracted to the film because of the actors they may fancy.They could either watch the film becuase mabye most boys usually have a little sister who they depend on by fufilling their dream of aspects.

5 films watched from the past six months that refer to this terminology:

• 
  
  Step up



• 
  
  you got surved




• 
  
  happy feet




• 
  
  billy elliot



• 
  
  street dance

Overall in my terminology i think it is an effective poster as the colurs the quotes and also the heading looks effective an fit for the purpoe of this film and maily the quotes are very supportive as it will show the audience of how the much the film gained good reviews and a film that is highly recomended to watch.The camera shot of the girl doesnt look basic it gives a look of a innocent girl a young girl who looks confident a sees the opportunity she wants to compete in.The glitterish effect or the brightness effect shows the charmin of the girl so therefore the main aspects of this film is peaceful more feminine and more relaxing to watch as you can finiallysee a girl who actually fufils her dream.

Actors that relates to our character

As you know that the term of our main purpose is about a girl who has interest of become a ballet dancer i looked at other actors in film who had the same interest and actually fufil their dream in reality this will help my research of gaining new ideas of how to develop and bring out the attention of our character for the opening sequence.

The first actor i found that related to our characters purpose of the film was:


Billy elliot

As we know billy elliot is one of the famous actor who also had interest in becoming a ballet dancer but not only he wanted to fufil his dream it was more difficult while his dad was furious of him becoming a ballet dancer instead of a boxer so therefore we see how we can relate this actor of our character have the same background image of the same parents who refuses their childs interest.

To make our research more conclusive i interviewed billy elliot about is life and how did he develop of trying to keep his secret from his father:

Me: hello and its a great honour to meet one of the famous actors and not only the actor a dancer who actually fufil their dream

Billy:why thank you its a honour to me you to

Me: one of the question i had in mind was why did you pick ballet as your interest instead of boxing?

Billy:well boxing wasnt my interest at all i was usually bullied and always get my head knocked out and always lose my memory so i lost interest because i didnt want to become beaten up from the rest of my life

Me:why did you pick ballet as your interest?

Billy well there was many reasons why but cant figure out how to explain it its just how i usually see the peace and calm when you hear the music and someone slowly moving and dancing,its just the fact that ballet is very peacful and relaxing and also the excercise is far more supperior so therefore no need to get knocked out to be fit.

Me:Did your dad accept the fact you wanted to become a ballet dancer?

Billy:At first no becuase he wanted me to become a boxer just like my grandad so yh i put him down sadly but he saw what i was really interested in and as a father he accepted my choice

me:did you have to keep secrets from your dad and how did you accomplish this procedure?

Billy:well i had to keep secrets from pretending i came home from boxing by wearing the gear and usually he checks sometimes in the gym but iluckly had a friend of mine who knew what i was really interested in and he always told my father that i went home a while ago but it was very easy to get away with but didnt last that long

Me:thank you for having the time to awnser my questions and wish you the best

Billy:thank you and again its my honou





Another actor i have interviewed was:

Eleonora Abbagnato



































began her dance training in 1990 at the Formation à l'Académie Princesse Grâce in Monaco and then at the Centre Rosella Hightower in Cannes. In 1992 she entered l'Ecole de danse de l'Opéra. She entered the POB Corps de ballet in 1996, became coryphée in 1999, sujet in 2000 and finally in 2001 première danseuse.





So therefore i also interviewed Eleonora Abbagnato about her life abd dream of becoming a ballet dancer:



Me:nice to meet you its a great honour to meet someone who fufiled their dream



Eleonora:Its a honour to me you to thank you



Me:so when did you first start ballet?



Eleonora:when i was only 13 years old i was so intrested of becoming a ballet dancer but my mum refused and wanted me to focus on my education



Me:Then how did you manage to fufily your dream?



Eleonora:wll i did focus on my education ut couldnt wait any longer so i saw a club in my school which had a private session of ballet so i joined so i managed to keep a little secret from my mother but not for long



Me:how long did she manage to find out?



Eleonora:there was a day when i finished my session on ballet and i realised that my mother was waiting for me outside school becuase she told me when she dropped me off to school so i was in deep trouble so therefore i packed up all my clothing and quickly changed into my school uniform but what i forgot to do was to change my ballet shoes so therefore i came out and my mum saw me wearing the ballet shoes and that was the time she realsied



Me:what happned after?



Eleonora:she then gave a relly biug lecture but at the end she understood of what i really wanted to become so therefore i finished my education and became and ballet dancer by also going to acdemey of dance.



Me:what music do u perform while practising?



Elenora:well have to say opear because its peaceful and more relazxing and you get the rythum of doing something fantastic and magnificant.



Me:thank you for you time that is all



Elenora:your welcome

Opening sequence Treatment (problem solved)

Emma is a dedicated and determined sixteen year old girl who loves to dance her heart out for anyone. She had dreams of being the 'next big thing' in the dance industry of preferably ballet world since a very young age and believed that one day she would make it and become incredibly famous and well known in many countries around the entire world. Since a young age her dad left her so a father figure is missing in her life as left her single mum to look after her. Her mum doesn’t show any support to Emma as she feels that she is not good enough to make it and should just concentrate on her education in which she is then guaranteed a successful future. Her admired dancers, from Billy Eliot to, Lydia Lopokova and aspired to be just like them in a couple of year’s time which the legacy which built themselves around. Emma practiced every night after school until she had self confidence in herself to show that she was a good dancer. Despite being told by many of her closest friends and family members that she could not dance, and had two left feet, she then pushed herself to do the best that she could possibly do. Emma would not let them put her down and lower her self-esteem and courageous attitude, even though what her friends and family were saying was true. Instead she decided to take it as a negative criticism and push herself to continue as she could not face a life where she was not famous. This dedication that first started off as self belief, developed into an obsession with dance in general. She believed that she could dance to any genre of music as she is quite flexible and versatile to all types of genre’s if she put her mind and her heart to it, and so she practiced long and hard. Emma started to watch constant dance programs copying important moves she could show off to people.





Since her new and current obsession, she tended to be alone and wanted her own company, as she believed that she should commit her time to dancing until she eventually became famous. She did not want any distractions whatsoever. She was striding down the corridor one day, dancing along to the most famous opera song that she was listening to, when her attention was drawn to a poster that said, “Do you have an ambition to become a famous dancer held right here in the school? If so, then this is your once in a lifetime opportunity. Head over to the main hall next week at 1pm when we will be holding our auditions for the dance academy club. The winner will be awarded a special prize in which they will be able to audition for a famous celebrity judge! Make sure you do not miss out on this wonderful opportunity. And remember it’s once in a lifetime, so head on over!” Emma's face lit up with joy, she was so excited that she was literally jumping up and down. Could she, Emma Nestlington, become the winner of this “once in a lifetime opportunity”? What if the celebrity judge was someone who would introduce her to her idols in the ballet industry and get signed to their theatre? She had to prepare. Ever since a young age, Emma had just dreamt of standing on a stage and performing in front of millions of people and this could be her big chance.



Her mum is constantly worried sick about her in where she may be coming home late missing dinner etc.







For the next couple of days, Emma concentrated on practicing for the massive audition. She only turned her phone on for when she wanted to listen to music, the rest of the time it was off, or either on silent so she could not hear it or see it. Instead, she put on the television, and switched through the various music channels. She imitated their dance moves with her own little flava getting it as accurately possible, paying close attention to every detail. She even sometimes tried to copy the dance moves. Maybe this would perfect her routine, and give her an easy one-way ticket to auditioning for that special celebrity judge. Then all of a sudden Emma gave a massive grin, as she heard the routine that she was going to perform for her audition. This could perfect her chance of winning.







It was eventually the audition day that Emma had longed for, for days. She had to get it right. She was outside the stage curtains fiddling with her fingers, and tapping her foot anxiously, when her name got called out. Emma perked up with courage, and marched with confidence onto the stage. She looked at the three school judges and waited for their command to start dancing. When it was given, she started getting into her routine, and dancing her heart out. Expecting an outburst of laughter like she usually got from her friends and family, she heard a massive round of applause in which the judges told her they have got links to companies in America which would be delighted to see Emma sign to their label.



By the age of 21 Emma made it with flying colours earning a salary of over a million pounds a year and is still and upcoming rookie in the dance industry with still a lot to learn and is constantly improving while dancing.

Story idea 2

Many things can happen in real life situation and this is one of the main popularity as we see a lot of tragedy between childhoods and they way they act as they grow up so therefore we thought of how we can create a lot of tragedy of how a girl keeps on having flashback of her childhood to
her birth and find something very unexpected and shocking which creates an attitude
for a girl to either black mail or commit something very uncertain.


This is the story that I thought will be interesting to plot referring to this headline to the 2nd film


This was used from my research and ideas I have gathered from the headline news which is
called ‘weapon of mass confusion’

This is a headline basis of how the European governors decide to give special armed weapons to the European leaders to take control over their currency and local environment. In my thoughts I have discussed with my group of how I could make this headline into a film, I had many ideas as you know from the post I recently added to my blog which describes different genres that I could include however as a whole we decided to make one conclusive plot to a film for this headline

Website of this headline
http://www.presseurop.eu/en/content/cartoon/1102951-weapon-mass-confusion

Image of the headline

Therefore i have presented my ideas for this in prezi to show all the aspects that i can imagine of producing this category into a film.

Story idea 2 on Prezi

Opening sequence the features and filming ideas about presenting main character

While preparing for our new opening sequence where we had alot of errors previously due to the location reece we didnt organise for so we finally manage of preparing eveything but in the spare time that me and my group had, we discussed about the main character of our opening sequence ,discussing her personality and features and her background image.

While producing all our ideas on a sugar paper presenting all the categories that relates to the girl personality,we also decided of the camera works that we could use to produce these methods and also what will be the facial expression,the mise-en-scene and more technical features that we can present to our viewers about this character benath is the image of the ideas me and my group presented on sugar paper which as you know this will be our main character for our opening sequence.




















As the image above isnt very clear at all i have produced the main points from the idea and cretaed a table on prezi but most of the points on the paper aint included since we only included the important points which will be used or presented in our opening sequence.

Opening sequence the character of the film on Prezi

Overall the main ideas will help me and my group to understand of how we can present our main character to our audience and give them the attention and the amazment about this character.
This will help us to analyse of how other films manage to accomplish this objective by making the main character more effective and making the audience have alot of predictable concepts.
