Update

We are planning on filming after school because when we try and film during school there always seems to be a class in there. This has damaged our filming time which means we don't have long left to film.

Up Date On Progress

Yesterday we did a rehearsal of our opening scene. This was so that we could see how everything was going to work and all the props and things we needed to include. It helped us with deciding which camera angles and movements we wanted to use in different parts of the film. We think that it all went well as we were able to film most of the scene without many problems. We are are going to edit it and make sure everything looks perfect, we will then start to film our actual film.

Questionnaire findings

After receiving all our research from our questionnaire we have found out that male audiences tend to enjoy horrors, comedy and action films whereas females prefer horror, comedy, romantic comedy's and chick flick films. Most of the audience said that the opening scene of the film is very important to them because they will be able to get feel of whether the film is going to be good and whether they should carry on watching it. A selection of peoples favourite films were Halloween 1 and 2, American pies, Anchorman, Dark knight and Mean girls. It varied between whether people wanted to go to the cinema or watch it on a rental DVD. This was because some preferred being at home and being able to pause and watch the film in there own time. People who preferred to go the cinema wanted that experience with the surround sound system, big screen and great graphics.
