Evaluation / Question 4

This was a Twitter profile I created for our film. I thought Twitter would be a good source to connect with our target audience as Twitter is extremely popular with teens, so this would give our film more recognition. Also, we can also use Twitter to connect to an older audience as Twitter is used by them as well. 

Evaluation / Question 5

Mise en scene

Setting/location - We think this would appeal to our target audience. Since it is set in Peckham, it is very urban, and so many teens would be familiar with the type of film it is. 

Costumes - The costumes worn were tracksuits for the gang of girls, and casual clothing for Kim. We think this would appeal to our audience as the costumes are realistic and are seen worn in real life. This would intrigue our audience. 

Lighting - The lighting was natural, which gave our film a more realistic effect so I think this would appeal to our target audience.

Actors and storyline

I think the actors and storyline would appeal to our audience as the type of thing that happens in the film also happens in real life, so I think they would find it interesting to see how it would be acted out and what story would be told.

Q6) Evaluation

Rough cut

This is our first rough cut for Frontline. In this video, it is our rough outline of what our final film opening will look like. No music or titles were added as this was only rough.

Final Editing Session

Night VS Day Scene

We are currently debating on which scene to use, the night scene or the day scene. The night scene includes the transition between the day and night as we have an effective scene which makes this transition happen. However the day scene includes no dark scenes but towards the end we can see that the scene is getting dark but not completely dark. We have made two different films including these features using final cut pro and we will watch over them to see which one is the most effective to us as our final film. If we can not decide which film we like then we will have to ask other people on which film they like the night of day scene and we will chose from their decision. In the meantime we will continue to edit both night and day scenes.

Editing day 2

I thought it would be a good idea to start some of the editing at home as I have Final Cut Pro. However, we were unable to export it to the computers in the classroom, thus we were unable to use the already edited footage. Although this was unfortunate, the good thing about this was that it gave us a guide as to how to start editing our film on the iMacs at college.

After we edited some of it on the iMacs, we started to think about transitions and the title sequence. 

We did not finish editing, but we got the basic gist of how we wanted the film to be edited so that we were ready for the next editing session.

Editing day 1

Editing Day 1

On the first day we edited, we uploaded all the clips from the SD cards and put them onto our video drive and onto Final Cut Pro. We sorted out the scenes we wanted to use and the ones we didn't. For the most part, we just wanted to get our clips in the right order on final cut pro, and think about how to start editing our film. 

Reflection of location

Reflection of costume choice

Kims costume consisted of casual attire. A scarf, coat, boots and hat; something that would be worn to a college or uni. This was supposed to reflect her characters personality, believing that she was an innocent student, coming home from college. I think her costume was successful in doing so. 


The girls in the gangs costume consisted of hoods, jackets, bandanas, trainers and tracksuit bottoms. This was was to portray the gangs anonymity and mysteriousness. I think the costumes reflected what the gang was about. However, I feel that if the gang was all dressed the same and in black, their costumes would have been much more effective and would have been more anonymous.

Production - Half term 2

On Tuesday 18th of February, we arrived at Chanises house at 9.30am. Luckily there was no rain on this day so it was perfect to film. We prepared our equipment and took the p12 to Peckham once everyone arrived. 

Once we got to Peckham, we re-filmed the shots that we had to redo from the previous filming session. Ensuring that there was no space left above the head, and that the camera was in focus the entire time. When we were ready to leave to get back to Chanises area, we realised that a quiet area in Peckham with graffiti would be a better place to film.

This is a picture from one of the pieces that were in the area. We thought this was a great area to film in as the graffiti on the walls reflected the characters and what they were about. So this now became our new location to film where the mugging incident took place.

We went to Chanises house to quickly plan how we were going to film in this new location and then went back to Peckham. Unfortunately this meant that we were unable to bring a key prop which was the bike, this required some deep thought about how filming was going to go. 

For this day, filming went great and we made sure most of the shots were good and redid the ones we thought didn't look as good. 

Production- Half term

On Monday 17th February we all made our way to Chanise's house at 9:30am. We filmed some of the first part of our film but after 2 hours of filming it started to rain heavy (11:30am). We waited for it to stop but it got even more heavy so we couldn't film at all on Monday. Instead of filming we done our interviews ready to upload on Mondays lesson after half term. On Tuesday 17th we will film the film as the whether will be better.
