Who would be the audience of your product?

Our demographic will be from the ages of 12-21 I know this from doing the survey that allowed us to get the specific needs of our audience. They will also be 50/50 male female as we have challenged the male gaze theory so we will have less male viewers as expected, and because we are going to distribute to cinemas we are aiming for working and middle class viewers, that is the demographic of our audience. The demographic is known as the Hollywood demographic, they are famous for flocking to the cinema to watch any movie that contains action, another reason why we are doing this is because recent stats show that 40% of spy/action genre movies are of the ages 15-24, this means we can theoretically fill half of the cinema with our intended audience .This is relevant to the demographic of our audience as they are male and female 12-21, this is the Hollywood demographic, meaning they want a lot of action in the movie, however our audience said they wanted some psychological aspects to it so we gave the antagonist a mental disability that he fights off gradually. 

 Our audiences psycho-graphic is that they like action, at fast paces too, they also like a little bit of psychological aspects, I also researched that they like to build adrenaline whilst watching the movie, hence the need for fast paced action. We have also added a dual narrative into the product which means the ideal age range may find It harder to follow the plot but they will be satisfied with the product. Given that our audience likes mission impossible and spectre it’s a good thing that we based our product off of the James Bond franchise with a twist. This why I think we will have success in the UK box office.

We have a secondary audience that is the age of 25-40, this would be older people or parents taking the younger end of the main audience to go and watch it at the cinema, the main demographic could recommend the product to the older audience meaning the words spreads faster.

2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our product represents the middle and lower class, the lower class is represented as criminals and thieves also wear chavy clothes, our antagonist is a lower class person as he is stealing the prime minister’s son, but it’s a little more difficult to class this as lower class as he doesn’t want ransom for his crimes he wants more of a personal satisfaction from the crime. This also leads to the representation of disability in our product, we have represented the antagonist as a psychotic person, meaning he has some sort of mental disability as he is doesn’t realise what he is doing wrong in his current state of mind. Disability and lower class are both represented negatively in our product this is shown through the antagonists, choices and actions. The soundtrack when the antagonist pulls the victim out of the car changes to a fast paced action track, this is showing the stereotypical violent traits of the lower class as he is ready for a bit of action. The fact that the antagonist is male also shows the stereo typical male representation as he is violent and forceful towards other people.

I also represented the elderly as a social group, our protagonist is an elderly man at 50 years of age, this shows the audience that he is the underdog, he is also shown as alone, from the no photos around the house, and the minimalist atmosphere in the scene.

Another class that is represented is the middle class, the protagonist is middle class in our product, this is to create a binary opposition with the antagonist, the difference between rich-poor and good-bad, this is also shown by the ability of the characters, shown through the dual narrative that flicks between the two classes. Our opening sequence contains a dual narrative. The dual-narrative shows the difference in class as the protagonist wakes up and makes a brew then hears the news of the incident, whereas at the same time the antagonist is pulling the victim out the car and head butting him for speaking, also the soundtrack changes from a peaceful tune to a more upbeat action track along. This shows the correlation  of the middle class compared with the negativity of the lower class.

Change In Credits

After my most recent editing session i have come to the conclusion that I need to change the font of the credits.

I have decided to go with the combat ready font as i believe it makes the credits look not to childish but suits the action style that we are aiming for in the task.

Combat Ready

Editing Session-3

On my third editing session I began to edit the sound and credits.
I started by selecting the template from the available presets, after that I set the font to impact and the size to 61 for the names and 66 for the titles of the there names.

I proceeded to create each credit in the order selected by Alex Grandage through his research; production, distribution, directed by, written by, staring.

When distancing them apart I did not take into account the overall time it takes for my scene, so i made the mistake of putting them to close together, i realised this instantly and added it to my plans for  next session.

When I started to edit the sound i need ed to make sure that the news announcement was in perfect place, after this i downloaded, detach, from Epidemic Sounds this website offers unsigned, no copyright, free music.

I cut the song to size after dragging it into Final Cut Pro.

I added fades to the beginning and end of the music this allows it to ease the audience into the atmosphere.

I then lowered the decibels of the music because i don't want it to take over the whole thing.
