How did you attract/adress your audience?
The setting of this opening sequence would appeal to our target audience because it is set in an alley way, everybody walks through an alley once in a while or maybe everyday, at night and even in the day time alley ways may seem scary, therefore the audience may know the emotions that the character is feeling and they can relate.
The main character is female, this would attract the audience(mainly boys) because she is quite attractive since out target audience is of an age from 15-21, an attractive girl on screen may be appealing therefore more people would watch it, having a female as the main character may also allow girls to relate to her.
The backing track used for this opening sequence builds tension and suspense, it is also a typical convention of a horror film, if the audience like horror films then this would be appealing to them and they would expect music like this throughout the film.

Evaluation Question 7
xLooking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in progression from it to the full product?
I have learnt to use the camera better than I did in the preliminary task, even though as stated before we had technical difficulties with the camera and therefore had to result in using a hand-held camera, this made filming our opening sequence a lot easier than the preliminary this is because in our opening sequence all shots are point of view so the hand-held camera went well with what we are trying to create, whereas with our preliminary task the camera had to be stationery.
With the preliminary task i had help editing, so therefore I didn't find it as hard as editing the opening sequence, I believe that the preliminary task was a lot easier to edit because there were less screen shots and detail to it unlike the opening sequence. The music that we had chose for the preliminary task had no relevance what so ever to what was said in it, however with my opening sequence the background music that we had chose complimented the action in the sequence.
For the preliminary task there was no script, storyboard or planning it was an idea that came right off of the top of our heads where as our opening sequences had weeks of preparation, scripts were made, storyboards and planning. This helped us get the final product that we have, the planning helped everything to run smoothly and it was also a structure so we knew exactly what we had to do.

Evaluation Question 6
Question 6.
What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing this product?
For our media coursework instead it being paper based, we had to upload blog entrys onto blogger, I had never used this website before but as time went on I gradually found it easier to handle and work with. I learnt how to embed links onto a post, upload photos and by using another website called scribd I was able to put my script and screenshots onto the post.
Scribd is website where you are able to upload powerpoints embed the link and post it on your blog.
I Had never used a camera like the sony HVR-V1U pro HDV 1080p and I found it quite hard at first because of all the different buttons and equipment that it came with, during the editing stage we found that there were problems with what we had filmed it kept skipping and the sound wasn't working we later on found that we had a dysfunctional tape and therefore had to film all over again in a short space of time, we tried to book another camera for the day we wished to shoot however there was none available at that time so therefore we had to result in using my camera which is a canon.
To edit the footage in postproduction, Final Cut Pro was used, at the beginning Georgia and Lisandra began to edit as I updated my blog, towards the end I began to take part in the editing adding music and credits at first I found it quite hard and confusing. However I began to find it easier the more times that I went onto it.
I used You Tube to uploaded videos so that I could embed the codes and use them for my blog.
