The filming is still in progress as we want to make it perfect and much more effective than our preliminary and therefore using the preliminary task as a guideline of what types of c,a,p,m's work well within our film opening. We have also had difficulties with the lighting of the ending of our filming and is quite complex to keep the continuity effectively. One way in which we have tried to solve this problem is to get various flashlights/torches in order to make it much brighter but the audience can still recognise it's nighttime.

The 2nd alleyway location we will consider. Here is a vlog!
This location would be used in our filming to indicate an eerie feeling and we would also let slip that this alleyway would be the next location in which the next victim would be murdered! we also thought it was good because at night it has a scary feeling to it and was also quite local to where the rest of our filming would be.
We think this would be a good, effective location to use also because it is mostly quiet at night-time when assessing it previous to our filming and also because it has some lighting which will make our filming much more easier. Also, the surroundings such as the trees, litter and people's clothes within the film will make the audience react to this particular scene as a negative location for the victim to be in. However, one little problem is that some parts of the alleyway has uneven ground and can be quite muddy.
This location can offer many ways to create a freaky effect to our film and to have a nerve-wracking effect to the audience e.g. the scene where the actor will discover the black bag containing the dead body in and therefore creates a scary scene for the majority of the viewers.

This is one vlog we have produced showing a possible location!
This is the location that we will use in our filming as it has less negatives regarding our filming e.g. the scary surroundings, the ground is much more even and benefits us when trying to produce difficult camera shots such as the birds-eye view shot, pan etc. and gives us much more assistance as the location is very local to where me and my partner live.
One disadvantage of this location is the lack of lighting in our location as the lamppost nearby is not working and therefore will create problems however we have found a solution to this by using our own lighting to proceed with this location. Also, this location is near our previous scenes and will make our filming much easier and much more effective.
We had a limited time to complete our preliminary task but we tried to construct more unique camera shots. We didn't use any diagetic sound as we didn't feel that music was relevant for our filming.
After getting feedback from our teachers, we were told of the mistakes that were made and how the filming wasn't very fluent.
The problems we had were most importantly the time scale we had to complete this as it was very limited however we managed to complete it. Another problem was trying to maintain the continuity towards the end of the clip as there were people coming in and out of the end location and therefore had to use effective, clever shots to maintain our continuity.
We intend to encounter these problems by having a good organised time scale, hard working and influential team members. Continuity can be effective by having better organised times for each stage for our filming.

We have finally found our logo/text and have created it fully...
Feedback on your views regarding our logo
We decided to go with the name 'skyfall productions' because the name represents action/thriller and also has a good vibe to the name. The reason that we choose skyfall as our production mane is also because it creates a cycle of different equilibriums and therefore we have a storyline of a person's life changing drastically within the production.
We came to this conclusion because the name of a famous film had inspired us to use it as not necessarily imitate the hook of the film but the literal meaning of the word will relate to our film sequence well.

Chosen Title For Our Production!!
After considering what title would be best suited to our film narrative we had decided on a decision with much help from everyone's feedback and our personal opinion, we finally decided that our title would be...
I STILL REMEMBER!!
We thought that this would tie in really well with our killer and his motive for the killings and why specifically on the stereotypical victims. This also relates really well with the sepia flashbacks of the constant bullying carried out on him in childhood. The conclusion of the title intertwining well with our film sequence is because the killer is seeking his revenge on the schoolgirls who bullied him when they were in school for being fat and ugly. Now, the girls are in university and he is mentally unstable and seeks revenge on them.
Audience Research
As you recall, our media production is going to be of a horror type genre. Our main target audience is around the 15-21 age range appealing to both genders. The sole reason for the precise age range relates to a variety of the conventions included within the film production. For example, the characters used for our production are within that age range and also the storyline throughout is based on teenage life and targets a couple of important social issues in contemporary society. The minimum age is 15 purely because of the actions and narratives that are included and therefore can only be suitable for 15+.
The typical hobbies of teenagers are watching horror films as it gives them thrills.
