Editing

I used some software called Adobe Premier Pro to edit my film. I only needed to edit it in a very basic way as no special effects were needed. The other half of my video clip would not convert to the format and had malfunctioned so i therefore had to just use the first half. What I had filmed in the last half is the end of the conversation and the man leaving the building after placing the bomb into a plastic bag. There was a close up of this to create a casual effect as it was just an ordinary bag, it also showed where he was putting it so that the audience remember.
Music was not used as it would drown out the dialogue spoken by the two characters. As always the 180degree rule was taken into acount when filming. Many of the shots were difficult to do as it was in such a confined area, this reduced what shots at could do from which angles.

Evaluation

The blonde haired character walks towards the door as so to open it. A close up is then shot of the door handle and her hand reaching down and pulling the door open. This puts more emphysis on the door opening and therefore makes the audience believe that it is important.

This leads into a match on action/point of view shot from the outside in which the person sees the girl opening the door. This type of shot helps to show the audience what both characters see.

As the man walks inside to the end of the room a slow zoom is used to follow him inside. As dialogue starts shot reverse-shot takes place frequently so the audience can feel what the conversation would be like from each side and to show who was in the conversation. The 180 degree rule was obayed so that no confusion occured about the positioning of the characters.

A briefcase is checked by the girl and then a close up is taken of her placing it on the floor. More close ups can be seen when she is explaning how the bomb detonates, a close up of the remote and and manual detonators are taken, this is to show what they look like and how they work. The bomb is also seen when the image of the manual detonator was taken.

What I am going to do !!!!

My film will start with an outside motion sensored light turning on however it seems tha no-one is there. Someone will walk to the window, a point of view shot will then be used to show the character looking through it to see what is going on. As they move away another character sneaks around to the front door and starts walking upstairs towards a room. A match on action shot is used as the door is opened. There is another character inside and they both start talking, this is where I will use the shot-reverse shots. The man inside the room will have a breifcase which contains explosives, the two characters then quickly put on some extra clothing to discuise themselves. They start to exit and the film then ends at this point. Relevent music may bee added and special effects however this will be decided at a later point.

Target Audience

In making a film or any other media text the target audience needs to be established for the making process to begin. Factors such as age, gendre and socio-economic groups effect who the viewer might be. For my film I am aiming it towards males between the age of 15 and 23. The socio-economic groups are less of a factor in a film as there is a wider range of audience and the gap between these seems less so I am aiming it equally towards ABC1 C2DE. The reasoning behing the target audience that I chose is that it is an action film with bombs and explosives in.
